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.

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
The sightseeing time was enough for us to explore the local ancient towns on our own. The hotels served great accommodations and the Sour Soup Fish - one of the representative dishes of Guizhou was so delicious!! Don’t miss it!
