I'm not familiar with Guizhou, but Hunan food is indeed crazy spicy (and delicious!)
I ordered takeout today from a Hunan restaurant in Nanjing today, tea oil chicken and red braise pork. They're both good, but also mild af, matches what my expectations of human food always has been. I wouldn't be surprised if there are spicier dishes than this in Hunan, but dark red provinces should be very spicy across a wide range of dishes.
Please enjoy your time on planet Earth
Like the another commenter said, this doesn't look like a lot of spice by Hunan standards
Based on that picture, if you go to Hunan you will get triple the amount of chilli at least
I still don't believe it. I can look up pictures of dishes on dianping from the highest rated shops in Changsha, and they look the same. additionally. the presence of visible chilies doesn't really confer much about the heat. e.g: The tofu noodles in the center is about the spiciest thing I've ever eaten. the green beans are only mildly spicy.
