  • We want to thank your most sincerely for your wonderful assistance and professionalism. We didn't think that such a complicated tour that we planned (with 20 different hotels, 6 flights, 2 trains, 2 buses, countless boats, 2 concerts, a major trek etc etc) would be possible without some serious hiccups - we were totally wrong! This was, by far, the best organised holiday we've ever been on and we were delighted by your choice of hotels, local guides etc.

Guizhou Tours

The relative isolation of Guizhou in southwestern China has made the region one of the best kept secrets in China. This is a land endowed with natural wonders and diverse cultures. It is relatively unknown to visitors and just waiting to be discovered. For photographers and hikers, the magnificent natural scenery of Guizhou is a must, but the essence of Guizhou lies in the pageantry of its minority groups. Our tours are centered on the scenic area of Southeast Guizhou, where the majority of ethnic villages are located. The fascinating customs of the abundant ethnic groups, especially the county's two largest, the Miao and Dong communities, are a time-honored legacy of those ancient tribes. By traveling from village to village, you will be treated to an eye-opening journey of discovery.

Stepping into the ancient Drum Tower in Zhaoxing Dong village and wandering among rows upon rows of stilted wooden houses in Xijiang Miao village, you will be welcomed by the hospitable minority people to share their unique cuisines and simple lifestyles. Their gorgeous ethnic costumes and brilliant silver ornaments will also arouse your admiration. If you are visiting the area, you should make sure to hit at least one of the traditional festivals. When the notes of the Lusheng sound, the whole village turns into a festival ground, alive with color, dancing, music and feasting. The Miao's New Year and Sister's Meal Festival are usually atop tourists' itinerary. All of these will contribute to an ethnic odyssey, the memories of which will last a life time. Come and enjoy the very best Guizhou has to offer!
