Hidden amongst jagged karst mountains, misty waterfalls and undulating hills, Guizhou is a gem hidden under layers of gorgeous scenery, and with each step, a new vista emerges. Guizhou is possibly one of China's most inhospitable areas. 80% of the land here is covered in either mountains or limestone. Yunnan and Guangxi might have been developed too much in the past few years. While Guizhou is still a fascinating and authentic spot.

The highlights of this southwestern Guizhou trip is to appreciate the Karst mountains, waterfalls and one special Han Chinese village and the villages of Long-horn Miao, one unique tribe of Miao ethnic group.
