These elaborately carved flutes are made of local bamboo and produce a clear and beautiful sound.

Hike the Qianling Park. This large city park includes a zoo and small amusement park as well as tea gardens. Visit the Hongfu Temple, built as a monastery in the early Qing Dynasty, is comparable in extent to the Lama Temple in Beijing. Surrounded by woods, the buildings have elaborate ornaments. There are several large diety figures, a pond with carp, water well for coins for good luck, incense burning pits, a large bell. Relax at the Huaxi Park is an excellent escape from the heat and bustle of the city. The park with its streams, pavilions and tea gardens are absolutely stunning.

See Tianhetan which is a cave, canal and waterfall park. The park includes flooded caves which guides take you through in boats, canals which weave through minority farm areas and a spectacular cascade through a narrow opening in the mountain. Following the trail into the mountain leads to a massive sinkhole and the starting point for the cave and canal boat trips. View the Anshun Batiks, a traditional handicraft of the Buyi people in the Anshun region. Traditional ethnic designs include flowers, birds, fish and insects on indigo-dyed cotton cloth. More recently artisans have produced more colourful silk and wool batiks. There are over 1,000 different types of batik products now produced including whole cloth, bedding, tapestries, caps and purses.

Enjoy Guiding Yunwu Tea, produced in Yunwu Mountain in Guiding County, this tea was originally offered as tribute to the early Qing court. The Miao and Gejia, groups are famous for silver smithing. They produce headgear, necklaces and bracelets. Each type has its distinct shapes, patterns and motifs. Miao ornaments mainly use dog, cat, horse, insect, flower or bird motifs. The Gejia prefer sun, stars, dragon, phoenix, bat and certain plant motifs. Admire Embroidery and Cross-stitch. Miao embroidery is a traditional local handicraft. Design motifs are typically butterflies, birds and interestingly enough marine animals. Cross-stitch patterns follow the warps and wefts of the cloth and the most popular ones are colourful geometric figures.

Inspect Guizhou's limestone hills, which yield a wealth of valuable stones and fossils. As the province also has impressive and commercially exploitable deposits of gold, silver and other minerals, there are a wide variety of mineral stones and samples available. Fossils of Missippian Crinoids and the Guizhousaurus, a small semi-aquatic dinosaur are available in many tourist shops. The Guizhousaurus is a common fossil and often found intact and complete and the fossils are painted to show the bones more starkly against a darker background of stone.
