Guizhou tourist attractions distribution map How to plan a Guizhou travel itinerary?

The most frequently asked question is whether five days in Guizhou is enough. If time is limited, it is more convenient to drive yourself. After going to rural areas in Guizhou, it will be very troublesome if you don’t have a car! At present, the various attractions cannot be directly connected together, but it can be achieved by zoning and playing in different areas.

If you have 5 days, you can choose the "southwest to 5 days" route, you can choose "southwest to 2 days", "southeast to 3 days".
