Must-see attractions in Guizhou

  • Confucius Temple

    Guizhou

    Now pretty much a block of flats from the 1960s, little remains of the Confucius Temple except for its main facade and the Lǐ Mén (Gate of Rites).

  • Wenchang Pavilion

    Guiyang

    There's not a lot left of this restored pavilion, but its central location makes it popular with locals. Kite flyers gather at the highest landing.

  • Yan Emperor Palace

    Guizhou

    Small, obscured temple dedicated to the fearsome 'fire god' Yan Di (炎帝), a deity in early Chinese mythology.

  • Anshun City Walls

    Guizhou

    Anshun was once ringed by a defensive city wall, a modest chunk of which still stands on Tashan Donglu.

  • Catholic Church

    Guizhou

    The modern church has an impressive bell tower, but the 19th-century ruins next door are the real draw.

  • Jinquanhu Park

    Guizhou

    Known as the site of the Dongs' ceremonial drum tower, this park gets lively at festival time.

  • Yingxiang Temple

    Guizhou

    Qingyan's welcoming Buddhist temple makes a peaceful detour from the tourist crowds.

  • Xinda Bridge

    Guizhou

    Handsome newer bridge linking Zhenyuan's old and new towns.
