Guizhou Tour Highlights

1 Natural Beauty

Guizhou is home to the magnificent Huangguoshu Waterfall, which is not only the largest waterfall in Asia but also ranks as the third largest in the world. This waterfall is a true spectacle of nature, with a width of 101 meters and a height of 67 meters, forming part of a larger cluster of 18 waterfalls. The thundering cascade of water creates a misty veil that shimmers in the sunlight. The scenic area surrounding the waterfall offers multiple viewing platforms, including the Water-Viewing Stage, which provides a bird’s eye view of this natural wonder.

2 Diverse Ethnic Cultures

Guizhou Province is a veritable melting pot where numerous ethnic minorities coexist, creating a rich and diverse cultural mosaic. Travelers can have the opportunity to explore traditional villages that have stood the test of time. These villages are not just architectural marvels but living museums where ancient ways of life are still practiced and preserved.

Experiencing authentic customs and traditions is a must for any visitor to Guizhou. There are countless ways to engage with the local culture, such as observing traditional crafts of batik making and silver crafting, learning a few phrases in the local dialect or participating in a tea ceremony. Guizhou is not just a destination but a living, breathing embodiment of China’s ethnic tapestry, waiting to be explored and cherished.

3 Pleasant Climate

Guizhou enjoys a subtropical humid monsoon climate with mild temperatures throughout the year. The province is particularly cool in the summer, making it an excellent destination for those looking to escape the heat. The average temperature in the hottest month does not exceed 25 degrees Celsius, which is significantly lower than many other regions in China. This pleasant climate is due to the province’s high elevation and mountainous terrain, which also contribute to the breathtaking natural scenery that Guizhou is famous for.
