Guizhou

Guizhou is a province of dramatic, poetic beauty, where ancient cultures thrive amidst a breathtaking karst landscape. Known as the “Kingdom of Mountains,” it is a land of swirling mists, emerald-green terraced rice paddies, and countless waterfalls. But its true soul lies in its people. Guizhou is a vibrant tapestry of ethnic minority cultures, home to the Miao, Dong, Buyi, and many other communities. Here, you can wander through Dong villages with their majestic drum towers and wind-and-rain bridges, and hear the harmonious polyphonic songs that have echoed through these valleys for centuries. It’s a living museum of tradition, set against a backdrop of some of China’s most stunning and unspoiled scenery.
