My Unforgettable Day Fishing at Qingshan Fish Pond in Guiyang
As someone who’s obsessed with finding hidden gem fishing spots around Guiyang, I stumbled upon Qingshan Fish Pond last weekend—and it instantly became my new go-to. Tucked away in a quiet village but easy to reach, this spot checks all the boxes: beautiful scenery, fair prices, and just the right vibe for a relaxing day outdoors. Let me break down why you need to add it to your fishing bucket list.
Where Exactly Is Qingshan Fish Pond?
Qingshan Fish Pond is located in Qingshan Village, Maijia Town, Baiyun District, Guiyang City, Guizhou Province. Don’t let the “village” part fool you—getting there is a breeze. I drove from downtown Guiyang, and the whole trip took about 40 minutes; the roads are smooth, and there are clear signs once you enter Maijia Town. No bumpy dirt roads or getting lost here!
What’s the Size & Water Condition Like?
One of the first things that impressed me was the pond’s size and water quality. It spans 5 mu (that’s roughly 0.33 hectares, or about half a soccer field)—big enough to give you space to set up your gear without crowding other anglers, but small enough to feel cozy. The water depth is a consistent 1.8 meters, which is perfect for most freshwater fish species. I even dipped my hand in the water (carefully, of course) and it felt clean and clear—no murky muck here.
Pricing: Transparent & Fair
Let’s talk about the part everyone cares about: cost. Qingshan Fish Pond has a straightforward pricing system:
- 150 yuan for 4 hours of fishing
- 200 yuan for 4 hours (I later found out this is for peak weekends or if you want access to a slightly more “prime” corner of the pond—worth it if you’re chasing bigger catches!)
No hidden fees, no surprise charges. I went with the 150-yuan option on a weekday, and it felt like great value for the time and experience.
Why It’s a Perfect Spot for Leisure Fishing
What makes Qingshan Fish Pond stand out isn’t just the fishing—it’s the atmosphere. The pond is surrounded by green hills and trees, so the air smells fresh, and the only noises are birds chirping and the gentle splash of water. I brought my dad along, and even though he’s not a serious angler, he spent the whole afternoon sitting back, drinking tea, and watching the clouds. It’s the kind of spot where you can focus on catching fish or just unwind—whichever you prefer.
Final Thoughts (And a Quick Tip!)
If you’re tired of crowded, overpriced fishing spots in Guiyang, Qingshan Fish Pond is a breath of fresh air. Whether you’re a seasoned angler looking for a quiet place to cast your line or a beginner wanting to try fishing for the first time, this spot works. My quick tip: go early in the morning (around 8 AM) when the fish are most active—I caught three decent-sized carp before 10 AM! Trust me, you won’t regret making the trip.
