Authentic Chinese Hill Tribes without Mass Tourism-yet
Guizhou province has long been one of China¨s least accessible regions. As a result, its ethnic minority Miao and Dong mountain villages retain an unhurried pace and authentic feel compared with Lijiang, China¨s famous minority center, which draws 20 million visitors a year. At least for now. Now Guizhou, too, is starting to open more widely to tourism. The trip from Guangzhou was shortened from more than 20 hours to four after the opening of a $20 billion high-speed railway at the end of 2014. And in 2015, Bike Aways, a Hongkong tour operator, added several Guizhou itineraries, including a Miao shaman festival hiking trip in January. High-end hotels are also opening in the region, including the Anantara Guiyang Resort early this year.
