What to expect in Guizhou?
Guizhou is home to 48 Chinese ethnic groups, second only to Yunnan, each of which have developed their own unique customs and cultures. Among them, Miao and Dong minorities are the two biggest groups in Qiandongnan Autonomous Prefecture. Starting your journey from Kaili and moving onwards, you will see villages of different minorities one after another along with amazing natural sceneries.
Many traditional festivals are also celebrated among different ethnic groups each year, which attract a lot of travelers from far away. When a festival is hosted, they dress up, prepare a lot of festival food and celebrate it with rich activities, such as singing, dancing, trading and all kinds of competitions. Should you take our private guided tours to Guizhou you may want to try on their traditional dress and join in with the festivities.

When is the best time to visit Guizhou?
The climate in Guizhou is often mild and moist, neither extremely hot nor cold. Although the best time for taking Guizhou tour packages is during late August, spring (March-May), summer (June-August) and autumn (September-November) are all wonderful seasons for sightseeing. During these months, you can also expect to experience traditional festivals such as Sanyuesan Festival and Sister's Meal Festival in spring, Liuyueliu Festival in summer, and the Shui New Year Festival in autumn. The best seasons for visiting Huangguoshu Waterfall in Anshun are summer and autumn when the scenery is the most splendid.

The 4-star hotels were not excellent as those in the big cities’ like Beijing and Shanghai, but we still experienced a comfortable and good-quality service. All in all, thanks for helping us undergo such a memorable Guizhou minority experience!
My friends and I were all happy to learn more Chinese culture on this 8 days Guizhou tour!
We went there in March, the off-season, so we had plenty of time to travel and play. We visited Miao Ethnic Minority Villages, among which I liked the Qingman Long-Skirt Miao Village. The people in this village wore long skirts, thus the name. The Miao villagers were very hospitable and served us with block way wine. This village still retained its original look: bluestone roads, and wooden stilt houses. We could feel its traditional lifestyle when we visited a local family. The life in the beautiful village was so happy and relaxing that I did want to leave. I would recommend my friends to travel to Guizhou! A terrific place! ... More
