Day 2: Guiyang - Anshun - Guiyang

After breakfast, you'll drive to visit the Huangguoshu Waterfall, one of the largest waterfalls in China and East Asia. The area is Guizhou’s number one tourist attraction. 101 meters wide, plunging 78 meters down into Xiniu Pool (Rhinoceros Pool), an 11-meter (36-feet) deep rhinoceros-shaped pool, and sending foam up to a height of 100 meters. The roar of the water can be heard some kilometers away. Rainbows appear on sunny days, adding a touch of extra beauty to the majesty of the cascade.

In the afternoon, you'll drive to visit Baojiatun, well-preserved ancient village with a history of more than 600 years. If you are lucky, you could watch the live "Nuo Opera" or "Di drama" , characterized by its special features such as ferocious masks, unique dresses and adornments. The purpose of "Nuo Opera" is to drive away devils, disease and evil influences, and also to petition for blessings from the gods.

Day 3: Guiyang - Libo

After breakfast, you'll drive to vist the Seven Small Arches Scenic Park (Xiao Qi Kong) (3.5hrs drive). Here you will find both surprise and delight. Seven Small Arches Scenic Park is a narrow valley within the natural forest. 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 Libo Scenic Area (40min drive) for further exploration onboard a ferry boat across the lake, an experience that provides an altogether different perspective of this stunning scenic area.

Day 4: Libo - Kaili

After breakfast, drive to Daizhai Village to experience the  "Batik Art". Batik is a craft inherited through generations among the Miao ethnic group in southwest China's Guizhou, and has a history of more than 2,000 years. Danzhai County is a major cradle of the Miao ethnic group's batik craft. Bees wax melting, patterns drawing, indigo dyeing, and fabrics boiling are the main procedures of making batik by local people. The folk artwork is famous for its elegant color, graceful patterns and rich cultural meanings.

After lunch, you'll drive to Shiqiao to experience ancient papermaking. Shiqiao Miao village is located in Danzhai County of Guizhou Province and has a history of more than 2,000 years in papermaking, since the middle of the Tang Dynasty. Miao people there have kept and preserved their ancient techniques and now the village is considered as the “living fossil” of ancient papermaking.

Day 5: Kaili - Fanjing Mountain

On arriving at the entrance you could behold some beautifully dressed girls blocking your path. It's a welcome party and guests are allowed in after drinking their twelve courses of way-blocking wines -- a most ceremonious etiquette.

In the afternoon, you'll drive to visit the Zhenyuan Ancient Town(2hrs drive), which has long been an ancient town of the Miao people. Time-honored history endows Zhenyuan Ancient Town with many rich and generous cultural relics, making it much like a historic garden.
