Guizhou Minority Village Walk Tour

About This Trip:

Guizhou is a multicultural province with the third largest ethnic population in China. Fifty five distinct ethnic groups live alongside Han Chinese who have migrated there from all regions of the country. The variety of ethnic groups living in Guizhou make up 40 percent of the total population of 35 million. A major charm of the province for travelers is the number of festivals, resplendent with colour and suffused with music, that take place throughout the year and remain an important part of continuing traditional lifestyles and customs. During this 8 day walking tour to the minority villages, we will take you to experience both the stunning views of nature and rich ethnic culture.
