What is the best/ practical transportation from Chengdu to Beijing?
Oct. 23,2009 01:10
Mr.Sauer replied:
The most applicable way is by air, which only takes about 2.5 hours. Either bus or train costs too much time on the way.

How is the location of Sheraton Guiyang Hotel? How much it will take if I take a taxi from the airport to the hotel?
Oct. 23,2009 01:10
Mr.Sauer replied:
The Hotel is situated in the prosperous central business district, only 15 minutes drive from the Guiyang International Airport. If you take the taxi to the hotel, it will take less than CNY40.00 net. Is this clear?

How do we get from Hong Kong to Guiyang to join the 4 days Guiyang tour?

Mr.Markin replied:
The flight from Hong Kong to Guiyang is not available everyday. If it happens no flight on the day you are going to travel, I suggest you arrive in Guangzhou or Shenzhen first to connect a flight to Guiyang.

When is the Miao's local festival?

Ms.Cathy replied:
Most of the Miao's local festivals happen in Spring, especially in March and April. There are few festivals in other seasons, but not as concentrated as in Spring.

I prefer to visit weaving and embroidery when we are in Guiyang. Any good advice?

Ms.Maggie replied:
I have heard that there is a private museum named The Sun Drum Miao & Dong Costume Museum is set up in Kaili, which collected different embroideries. If you want to see the local weaving, you can see it at the Sunday Market in Kaili.

We plan to visit the Guizhou during our vacation and have some questions. Which are the most interesting festivals that will expand our understanding of the cultures as well as provide very good photographic opportunities in Guizhou. We have heard that the Sisters Festival is very popular. Are there other festivals that offer the same degree of local color and interest? Which tour or tours provide the best focus on indigenous cultures, their villages, markets, handicrafts.

I could give you some idea. As the local festivals are in quite different dates, you may not meet all the festivals during your visit. However, you can still experience the distinctive local culture and custom throughout the tour. The minority festival costumes, masks and embroideries can be purchased at any time. And the nature beauty will also be attractive. As for the Sister's Meal Festival, it is held in every March 15 in the Chinese lunar calendar. According to me, 703 is better choice for one to enjoy indigenous cultures, otherwise you may work out an itinerary by yourself:-)

I think you should better finalize your itinerary before your tour starts. Because the train and flight tickets, hotel rooms, as well as some sites tickets need to be booked in advance. If you cannot settle your itinerary ahead of the time, I am afraid it’s hard to guarantee the tickets or hotel rooms. Also, it may also involve some cancellation penalty.

Bullfight festival in Kaili, Guizhou
The bull play is an important part in Miao minority culture. Bullfight is popular and customary in Miao regions. Unlike the bullfight in Spain in which a man flights with a bull, in Miao region, it is two bulls fight with each other. The bulls lower their heads and begin butting each other. More ofen or not, neither bull will give in resulting in stalemate. When the bull'' head bleed from the wounds inflicted in fights, each side send ten young men to separate them apart. The side whose bull falls down or runs away from the arena is the loser.

When planning a tour, consult your travel agent about the difficulty index of the spot visiting, or read some tips about the sightseeing you planned. I am very interested in Guizhou province to visit the minority groups of China, however, our agent declined me to travel there. They said it is a very tough trip to visit Guizhou. Let alone the hard condition of hotels and dining, several hours driving journey each day would be unbearable for seniors. But it doesn't mean that the handicapped pals cannot take a tour. As i know from the tips I read, wheelchair can be rented in China at about RMB200-400Yuan per day. You can also hire a servant to push the wheelchair for you. All of these can be handled by your travel agent and you just need to pay the cost. China has been making great progress nowadays, and every issue can be dealt. Take it easy and make full preparation, and you will have a nice visit to China.
