Guizhou is a mountainous province in southwest China, known for the Huangguoshu Waterfall, karst landscapes, and the most diverse ethnic minority culture in the country, including Miao and Dong villages. Its capital Guiyang is a cool, green city and the transport hub for the province.
Accommodation overview
Guizhou accommodation concentrates in three places: international-brand and chain hotels in Guiyang (Nanming and Guanshanhu districts), mid-range hotels near the Huangguoshu waterfalls in Anshun, and guesthouses in Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village. Prices are low by Chinese standards, with budget chain rooms from about ¥150 and luxury rooms rarely above ¥2000.

Get the best deals and avoid common mistakes.
Book Xijiang and Huangguoshu rooms ahead for October national holiday week and summer weekends, when rooms sell out.
Guiyang international-brand hotels often drop rates midweek; compare direct and online travel agency prices.
Staying inside Xijiang village gives evening and dawn views once day-trippers leave; Kaili offers cheaper rooms but is about 40 km away.
Stay beside the Huangguoshu ticket hall to enter the waterfalls early and avoid tour-bus crowds.
Confirm exact addresses and working phone numbers before travel; small village listings are sometimes inaccurate.
