Things to do
The old part of Anshun, which lies in the northern of the centre area, is a nice place for an evening walk. A few minor festivals are held in the Anshun area, though they are generally not as spectacular as those held around Kaili. None of them are worth the trip to Anshun alone, but if you happen to be in town already, they are a pleasant diversion and certainly a nice excuse to get out and explore the countryside.

Where to eat
There are lots of places to eat in Anshun, but precious little to recommend. There is a food market down an alley off Zhonghua Nanlu, just south of the Bank of China. There are some bakeries and several hole-in-the wall places on Gufu Jie. There is also a huge supermarket on Zhonghua Nanlu, perfect for picking up snacks for day trips. Be forewarned: dog is eaten in these parts… lots of dog.
