Guiyang- the buget hostel "Youdian Binguan" is NOT open still. It's suppose to be in the old China Post building. If you choose "Jinlong Dajiudian" (Jinlong Hotel)note that the actual entrance is around the corner alleyway to the left
Zunyi - In the past month this town has gone on a skyrocketing attempt to build up tourism around the Zunyi Conference Site. It's quite a picturesque city/town on the weekends, even if most of it is brand new. The road from Guiyang to Zunyi is still being built, so expect the 2.5 hour bus ride to be 4 hours and MURDER on your bum. I would have taken the train if I could redo it.
Kaili - "Shiyou Binguan" (Petroleum Hotel)does not exist.
Xijiang - There are TWO main roads now. the bus will probably drop you off at the brand spanking new bus station. walk towards the town on the brand spanking new road and enter the village (to the old main road) on the right after you pass the large description of Xijiang in english written in stone. Walk down and find accommodation, it's EVERYWHERE now. Do your best to find a house-stay.
