Tour in Guizhou
- Guizhou is on a plateau at an altitude of 1070 meters. The terrain is
rugged, with karst formations, underground rivers, jagged peaks,
dramatic valleys and terraced rice fields. 26% among its population
are minorities. They contribute to the fascinating architecture
and over 100 lively festivals a year. These include bull fights,
dragon boats, horse races, and Lusheng dancing. Some villages
are untouched by tourists. The minorities retain most of their unique
customs. They are hospitable and warm, wear brilliant and beautiful
ethnic clothing, hold elaborate welcoming ceremonies, worship their
totem, and play intriguing music, dance graceful dances. Miao women
wear much silver jewelry. Dong architecture is unusual and charming.
