FAQs on Guizhou Tours

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.

How to get there?

The best way to get to Guizhou is by plane. Visitors can reach Guiyang in 3 hours from Beijing or Shanghai, 2 hours from Xi'an or Guangzhou, only 1.5 hours from Chengdu or Kunming. Those flights are scheduled daily. There are even direct flights from Chengdu to Kaili.

If you prefer to have a look at the landscape along the way, taking a high-speed train is a good choice as well. It needs only 2.5 hours from Kunming to Guiyang, however, it takes 4 to 9 hours to reach Guiyang from big cities, such as Chengdu, Guangzhou, Xi'an, Beijing and Shanghai. If you take high-speed trains from those cities to Kaili, it takes a little longer time, another half an hour.

    Each attraction had a unique highlight and on this 5-day Guizhou tour, we learned some Miao minority’s culture and tried their unique costume for taking photos.

    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 booked an 8 days in-depth Guizhou tour on Travel China Guide last year. The guide was from ethnic minorities and spoke English very fluently and clearly. She shared us with lots of their folk cultures and local historical stories. She was amiable, interesting and experienced in arranging our route and adjusting the schedule according to the changeable weather. We were also very pleased with her service of reminding us of the matters needing attention!
