Your China Festival tour begins with a visit to one of the four most famous historical and cultural towns in Guizhou, Qingyan Ancient Town, which was originally built to station troops and open up wasteland over 600 years ago.

Miao minority people's festival celebration, Kaili

Apr 05Kaili - Shidong - Kaili

The climax of the tour is coming today as you attend the traditional Sister's Meal Festival of the Miao people in Shidong area. The festival is the most ancient Valentine's Day of the Miao people and well-known as the Oriental Valentine's Day, offering opportunities for young people to pursue their lover. During the festival, all the girls will be dressed up in elaborate clothes, shining silverware, crowns, hairpins, earrings and bracelets. In addition, the girls will make colorful sister's rice to send messages. If the girl gives a boy the sister's rice with a pair of chopsticks in, it means she wants to go steady with him. If the sister's rice received by the boy is put in only one chopstick, it means the girl does not want to go out with him and he should date another girl. If nothing is put in the sister's rice, it means the boy is not attractive to the girl at all. However, they could still get along well with each other and make friends. Activities such as cockfighting, bullfighting and horse racing make the festival even more exciting and joyful. You will be deeply impressed by the splendid scene.
