Color of Guizhou 7D

Welcome to Guiyang, the capital of Guizhou Province. Upon arrival at Guiyang airport or raiway station, you will be met and transferred to hotel. Enjoy your free time for the rest of today.

Guizhou is nicknamed 'The Kingdom of Mountains', as 87% of its land is comprised of mountains and plateaus. 

Today's program highlight is the remaining culture of the old Han (Chinese) ethnic group. The ancestors of these villagers migrated from Jiangxi Province to Guizhou Province in the Ming Dynasty. We will visit Tianlong Old Han Village. Women here are still dressed in traditional Ming dynasty costumes, and houses remain faithful to the Ming architectural styles. In the village we would also watch the Ground Opera, which is called a fossil of opera because it has been played for over 6 centuries. 

Afterwards, we drive 30 minutes to Anshun. 

One-day tour included Huangguoshu Waterfall and Tianxingqiao. The Huangguoshu Waterfall, which is 223 feet in height and 276 feet in width, is the biggest in Asia. This site can be crowded with tourists (Jun.-Sep.) but the spectacular site makes up for it. It is especially beautiful as the rainbow arches over the falls. You will walk along a well-cut cliff path where you can view the water curtain from behind. The walk will be 1-1.5 hours along well-cut steps. After lunch, you will visit Tianxingqiao, a complex of different land formation of karst. You will return to Guiyang in the evening.    

Drive 2.5 hours to Kaili, visit Matang, a quiet village inhabited by the Gejia minority, where we will learn about their culture, of which very little is known. 

This afternoon, we will drive to visit Jidao, a real gem with traditional wooden houses and waterwheels. 

Then we will continue our journey to Datang, a Miao village with an aquatic granary and the women's“Mini skirt".

After hotel breakfast, you will take one-hour car ride to Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village, which a big Miao town. There are well-preserved wooden houses along the river in the valley.

 It is a wonderful experience to walk around the village to explore the local food, and souvenirs.

Today you will drive to Zhengyuan from Kaili. Zhengyuan Old Town is built along the Liuyang River, the old houses, small lanes, bridges and boat on the river to make a wonderful picture. Particularly the night lights along the river is impressive.
