Is Guizhou north or south?

Geographically speaking, Guizhou is located in the south of the Huaihe River in the Qinling Mountains, so it can be determined that Guizhou belongs to the south. In addition, the climate and topography in Guizhou are also obviously different from those in the north. The climate in the south is generally warm and humid, while in the north it is dry and cold. From the aspects of geography, climate and topography, Guizhou is more in line with the characteristics of the southern region.

Guizhou is located in the plateau mountainous area, with high average altitude, which leads to obvious mountain characteristics of climate. Although there is usually no extremely cold weather in winter, due to more rain, higher humidity and lower somatosensory temperature, sometimes there will be freezing weather, which makes people feel like they are in the north.
