I believe Guiyang is known by Chinese to be one of the more dangerous cities for theft. It definitely had a seedy feel around the train station area (and surrounding roads) at midnight. Train stations are hives for pickpockets, of course, but we had no problems there. One of the concerns a foreigner has is proximity of other people. In the west we're often used to keeping more space between us, where here that rule doesn't exist. That may add to the concern about pickpocketing, as we don't know who is just standing close and who is checking us out or on the prowl. Anyway, we had no problems, but does supposedly have that reputation in China, so keep that in mind.
