Map & Itinerary
Map & Itinerary
Guizhou, one of the China 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 had 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, take place throughout the year and remain an important part of continuing traditional lifestyles and customs.
