Guiyang, 16–24 January 2004
I went to Guiyang at the invitation of Zheng Mei and her mom. We had a wonderful time there. Guiyang is the capital city of Guizhou Province, one of China's poorest provinces. It is poor partly because it is out of the way and has been neglected until recently, and also because it is something like 95% covered by steep hills. That leaves only 5% for towns and villages, roads, rivers, etc., and agriculture.
