My question is this, Where can I stay between Guilin and Kunming? we will travel by train but are looking for a stopover rather than doing the whole journey. My research shows that either Guiyang or Nanning are the natural choices as they are easy to get to and have trains through to Kunming for our onward journey. My books tell me Guiyang is an up and coming crime spot and Nanning is boring and uneventful, it will only be for 1 or 2 days so which should I choose or is there an alternative?

Alternatively you could stop off in Xingyi on the Yunnan/Guizhou border. Maling gorge is well worth a visit and there are small ethnic villages including a museum near town. It is much smaller than both the other larger cities. Read my review Glimpes of Guizhou for more details on Guiyand and Xingyi
