GuiYang http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guiyang
is the Capital city of Guizhou Province that is west of Hunan Province (mine). The landscape looks a lot like the Guilin area, Kurst hills, waterfalls, caves, lots of rice fields and lots of interesting rock houses. Even though the distance was short, Cynthia and I flew because the fastest train was 12 hours. We found a good beef noodle place for lunch then went to the nearby QianLing Park to walk around. It was a very peaceful LOOKING place but there were so many musical (?) performers, equipped with loud sound systems, competing with each other that it didn’t sound very peaceful. Another thing adding to the noise was a strange sport (or maybe a form of tai chi) that used a “top” and a whip. When the “top” was going at full speed it made a low toned humming noise. Next time the Internet is up I will post a video that I took – cause it is impossible to explain. Oh and there were monkeys all over the park. http://www.travelchinaguide.com/attraction/guizhou/guiyang/qianling.htm
