Pre-Tour - Stay overnight in Guilin (or Yangshuo)
Arrive into Guilin the day before your tour is scheduled to begin as the high-speed trains into Guizhou Province depart from Guilin. Day 1 - Stay overnight in Zhaoxing Dong Ethnic Minority Village In the morning, your tour guide will meet you at your Guilin Hotel Lobby and thereafter, travel to the Guilin Train Station where all of you will board a high-speed train. The exact departure point and corresponding time is dependent upon train and ticket availability (which will be advised upon confirmation of tour). For reference, the train ride from Guilin Railway Station (West) into Guizhou Province takes approximately 1 x hour. |
Upon arriving into Guizhou Province, your local driver will be meeting you to commence your exploration! The first stop in the itinerary is a visit to a nearby Miao Ethnic Minority Village. The village, Basha Miao Ethnic Minority Village, is a small hunter-gatherer village known as the last tribe in China with guns!
Visitors will explore the village and watch the local performance, which the villagers perform. This is a great insight into their traditional culture as well as a way to support the development/improve their living standards! The village has become more 'developed' over recent years so if you're looking for a very remote and isolated village, please let us know instead as we can switch over the itinerary. |
After visiting Basha, you'll be transferred to Zhaoxing Dong Ethnic Minority Village. This is the largest Dong Ethnic Minority Village in China nestled in a valley between surrounding mountains and rice terraces. Zhaoxing Dong Village features drum towers, old houses and spectacular views (especially at night).
You'll get the opportunity to explore the village, check-in to their hotel and enjoy the local performance followed by dinner. A walk up to the viewpoint to see the night views is also an optional activity (no additional fee) for those interested. The evening is at leisure in Zhaoxing Dong Ethnic Minority Village. |
Day 2 - Stay overnight in Guilin or Yangshuo/END OF TOUR
Meet your tour guide in the morning at your Zhaoxing Hotel (meeting time is flexible and can be discussed with your tour guide). You'll then further explore the Zhaoxing Dong Ethnic Minority Village. Thereafter, you'll walk to the nearby Tang'an Dong Ethnic Minority Village - which features a scenic walk along the trails and with spectacular views overlooking surrounding Rice Terraces! The hike from the Zhaoxing Dong Ethnic Minority Village to Tang'an Dong Minority village is uphill and a great option to explore the nearby vilages from Zhaoxing. |
Following the visit to the Tang'an Dong Ethnic Minority Village, you'll be transferred directly to an off-the-beaten track, Dong ethnic minority village. The village is very isolated and poor but everybody is very friendly and welcoming to outside visitors. In support of the local village, we arrange a singing performance as well as tour around the village itself, allowing you to experience something totally different from what the Guilin/Yangshuo area has to offer.
Afterwards, you'll be transferred to the railway station to board a high-speed train back to Guilin, where you'll arrive in the afternoon. Thereafter, private transfer from the Guilin Railway Station to your Guilin Hotel, Yangshuo Hotel or departure points to conclude the tour. END OF TOUR. |
