But it'll take time, considering many of the province's attractions need massive investments in infrastructure and maintenance.
Separately, transportation has greatly improved in recent years.
Now, Longdongbao International Airport in the provincial capital, Guiyang, offers 13 flights to and from popular destinations abroad, including Thailand's Bangkok and Phuket, Japan's Osaka and Nagoya, and Indonesia's Bali.
High-speed rail transport has also boosted visitor numbers.
Tourists can now hop onto buses to major scenic spots throughout the province from right outside train stations, says Mou.
All of Guizhou's counties became accessible by highway last year.
Ye says the improved transport system means he'll likely return.
"I've heard about many other attractions," he says.
"I'll definitely return."
