Roads in Guiyang are not that flat due to the rugged terrain of the Yungui Plateau. Roads are often crowded during rush hours, so it is good to avoid traveling during these times.

Public Bus
Guiyang is the first city in China to adopt self-service ticketing for its public transportation. The bus fare is CNY 1. Public buses No. 1 and 2 run between the Railway Station and Qianling Park throughout the day. Bus No. 26 runs between Hebin Park and Huaxi, while bus No. 38 between Hebei Park and Tianhetan Scenic Area.

A word of warning: Guiyang is a hilly city, so it is suggested that tourists not drive cars themselves to avoid accidents.

Taxi
Taxis can be hailed in the street. The rate is CNY 8-10 for the first three kilometers (1.9 miles) and CNY 1.4-1.6 for every succeeding kilometer. However, it has become usual to pay CNY 10 for ride in the downtown area in daytime and CNY 12 after 22:00.

Bicycle
Most people prefer walking and public buses to cycling. Generally bicycles can be hired in parks and at scenic areas. Usual cost is about CNY 10 to hire one.
