Guizhou is located in Southwest of China, rich in natural cultural and environmental resources. Guizhou is also one of China's most diverse provinces with many minority groups. In this trip we will explore mainly at the Southeast Qian Autonomous Prefecture with Dong and Miao ethinics as main population. Though Guizhou is relativaly poor and economically underdeveloped privince the locals are doing their best to protect the environment and preserve the old tradition.
In this 5-day trip we will not only know about the different minor groups (there are many small families for Miao minority ethnic) and their life style, culture, cuisine, farming, architecture, language but also appreciate the beautiful natural environment. We also have the chance to experience the minor ethnic festival and celebrate it with the locals! You will get touched by their warm-hearted welcome ceremony!
