A tour for the nature lover and those with a desire to know more of the heart of China’s rich cultural diversity. Start your tour in Guiyang, the launchpad for your adventure, then enjoy traveling to Kaili to discover the Qingman Miao Village. Immerse yourself in village life, gaining an appreciation for the unusual architecture, vibrantly colorful traditional costumes, and skilled craftsmanship which has endured through modern influences. More authentic local experiences await in other Miao villages in the region: Observe traditional paper making in Shiqiao; ethnic song and dance and the ornate costumes that go with it in Langde; unusual houses and buildings on stilts in Datang. Arrive in Zhenyuan Ancient Town where you’ll find the Qinglong Cave Ancient Architectural Complex, a truly remarkable collection of Taoist, Confucian, Buddhist temples built over the mountain cliff. Travel to Libo for stunning natural landscapes and the chance to capture beautiful travel memories of the mountains, lakes, and karst rock formations that are synonymous with Xiaoqikong Scenic Area. A leisurely driving tour over six days, you will appreciate your enthusiastic local guide’s knowledge of the region, airconditioned vehicle travel, four and five star hotel accommodation choices, daily breakfasts, and the chance to know real China. The perfect tour to take as a stand alone adventure or in conjunction with any other tour. Just ask us and we’ll take care of every detail!

Itinerary

Day 1 – Arrive in Guiyang

On arrival in Guiyang, your English speaking guide will greet you at the airport/train station and escort you to the pre-booked hotel in an air-conditioned vehicle. The rest of the day is free for you to enjoy at your leisure.

Meals included: None

Day 2 – Guiyang – Kaili

After breakfast, begin your exploration of Miao minority culture with a 2.5 hour drive to Kaili and the Qingman Miao Village. In a traditional welcoming ceremony, local Miao girls in their vibrantly colored traditional costumes will toast you with home-made rice wine at the entrance to the village. As you wander through the village, admire the wooden stilt houses of typical Miao ethnic architecture and learn interesting facts about their traditional life. Watch first-hand the skill of Miao women weaving, embroidering and sewing traditional Miao clothes in the same way they have for centuries. Appreciate the ancient textile process, delicate embroidery, ancient dyeing skill and other exquisite ethnic arts and crafts that are maintained by the people today, even in the face of contemporary development across China.

Before heading to Shiqiao there will be time for lunch, perhaps tasting the local cuisine.

The tour continues to Shiqiao Miao Village, renowned for its picturesque landscape, inviting customs and 1500 year old paper making technique. Watch skillful craftsmen as they turn tree bark into smooth white and colored paper and decorations, rarely seen elsewhere in this modern world.

At the end of today’s activities you will be transferred to your hotel in Kaili.

Meals included: Breakfast

Day 3 – Kaili – Zhenyuan

In the morning, you will travel to Jidao, a long skirt Miao dress village set in a serene rural landscape. Wandering the ancient paths, enjoy the opportunity to make contact with the locals and learn a little of their laid back lifestyle on a visit to a village family. Marvel at the stilt buildings and water granaries dating back to the Qing dynasty that still play an essential role in local life. A short drive through rugged countryside will take you to Langde Miao Village, where more stilted wooden buildings are set in the idyllic scenery of lush paddy fields. Wander at leisure through the cobblestone streets to get a feel for the unhurried pace of life, friendly people, ancient architecture and unique ethnic customs. If lucky you may come across traditional singing and dancing performances or ancestor worship activities. Further on, after a one hour drive south, arrive at Paika Miao Village where you can observe craftsmen making Lusheng, a traditional bamboo musical instrument and symbol of the Miao and Dong people. The final visit of the Miao Villages today is Datang Short Skirt Miao Village, where local females dress traditionally in miniskirts, part of their distinctive ethnic costumes. Of particular interest amongst the traditional building architecture is the barn built almost four meters above water, as an ingenious way of protecting stores from fire, mice and insects. At the end of the day, you will be transferred to Zhenyuan and checked in to your hotel. Enjoy the peaceful ancient town’s night views along the Wuyang River.

Meals included: Breakfast

Day 4 – Zhenyuan – Libo

Commence your day with a leisurely stroll around Zhenyuan Ancient Town and enjoy the opportunity to learn about history that resides deep within the preserved old city walls and bridges along the town’s street. Continue your exploration with a visit the Qinglong Cave Ancient Architectural Complex, admire the unique combination of temples and pavilions built over the cliff of mountain, still a place of worship for followers of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. The day’s adventure continues with a drive of approximately 3.5 hours to Libo, where you’ll have the chance to appreciate the beautiful natural landscape that is synonymous with the region. On arrival in Libo, your guide will assist with check in and if needed, provide advice for dining options.

Meals included: Breakfast

Day 5 – Xiaoqikong & Daqikong Scenic Area Day Trip

After breakfast, enjoy the one-hour drive to reach Xiaoqikong Scenic Area (named after the ancient bridge of Xiaoqikong, “the small seven-hole arch bridge”)  You will find both surprise and delight in this enchanting place. Renowned for its beauty, it affords visitors breathtaking views of stunning green water lakes, magnificent waterfalls that drop from the karst landform cliff, and idyllic forests that are picture postcard perfect. From here, move on to Daqikong Scenic Area (yes, named after “the large seven-hole arch bridge”) for further exploration onboard a ferry boat across the lake, an experience that provides an altogether different perspective of this stunning scenic area. Enjoy the return trip to your hotel and relax on the final evening of your tour.

This is our second tour with China tours, and it was fantastic. Linda was our guide in Beijing. She was great! She was very knowledgeable about history and culture and a very kind person. Our group was a mix of young and old, and she made our days in Beijing interesting for everyone. We highly recommend Linda and China tours!

Tripadvisor score 100% fabulous experience

June 2025 • Family

The trip with China Tours was 100% fabulous. Everything about it was exactly as described. The tour guides were all wonderful, the hotels, and transfers (two bullet trains, two domestic flights) were amazing, everything went exactly as planned, and we had a great first trip to China. We did the 13 Days China Wonders & Pandas tour in June 2025. The balance was perfect between sightseeing with the guides and having free time to explore this amazing country at each destination. The high quality of the five guides along the way really made the trip. They were wonderful people without exception: professional, courteous, very knowledgeable, and friendly. The team at China Tours did truly great work in arranging everything, down to the last detail. Thank you very much for making this trip a really great experience!

June 2025 • Couples

This is a fantastic tour. The tour guides are amazing- so knowledgeable and extremely helpful. The experience of visiting the historic sites has been made far richer than it would’ve been on our own. We have left China with a greater understanding of Chinese history, culture and its people.

Tripadvisor score A Magical Experience

May 2025 • Couples

From the moment we were met at Beijing airport , until our last day in Shanghai , the service and attention to detail by the guides and drivers, was second to none! We opted for the ten day tour, to take advantage of the Chinese government 240 hour visa free TRANSIT permit , which was easily granted on arrival! ( arrival STARTS at midnight after you arrive! ) The vehicles and hotels were of the absolute best quality , and the whole trip was a joy! As every attraction has to be booked in advance , I certainly would not contemplate trying to organise such a trip independently ; and don`t even attempt to DRIVE in China!! At each stop , the knowledgeable guides would organise everything , and then ten minutes before departure ,would telephone the drivers , who would be waiting for us. Every attraction was well ordered and a real pleasure to visit. The standards of comfort EVERYWHERE were excellent! Thoroughly recommend!
