This is fine.. although nothing much impressive architecture.. 6.5/10.

http://www.1rest.com/HotelImg/c1/26Guizhou/38/1627_11.jpg

reminds me a bit of Caracas.

I like it. For Guizhou being China's poorest province it's really nice and does not look as bleak as Shijiazhuang which I rated just 5 minutes ago. Nice surrounding landscape

7/10

voted 7.5/10 skyline is tall but buildings are boxy

buildings lacks architecture and its quiet boring.
