Map & Itinerary
Map & Itinerary
Guizhou, one of China’s
less known provinces and best kept secrets, opened to tourists in the late
1980s. This is one of the most beautiful provinces, offering dramatic karst
limestone scenery, a spectacular plateau landscape cut by great gorges and canyons,
terraced hillsides and enchanting vistas. The many attractions include
waterfalls, untouched forests alive with rare species of plants and animals,
underground cave complexes and caverns with superb displays of stalactites and
stalagmites resembling great fluted cascading curtains.
Here are some of the most superb examples in Asia, offering tremendous
potential for hikers, potholers and nature lovers.
Guizhou is a multicultural province with the third largest ethnic population in
China. Forty-eight distinct ethnic groups live alongside Han Chinese who have
migrated there from all regions of the country. The variety of ethnic groups
living in Guizhou make up 40 percent of the total population of 35 million. A
major charm of the province for travelers is the number of festivals,
resplendent with colour and suffused with music, that take place throughout the
year and remain an important part of continuing traditional lifestyles and
customs.
Note: All the time and distance shown here are approximate and indicative only,
if there is inconsistency, it will depend on the weather, local road condition
and other actual situation.
