Detailed Tour Itinerary:
Meet your tour guide in the morning at your hotel lobby and be transferred to Guilin High Speed Train Station to wait for a connecting high speed train into Guizhou Province. Depending upon your hotel location as well as the high-speed train departure timetable will determine meeting time.  Upon arriving at Guilin Train Station, you'll check in and board a high-speed train destined for the Dong Ethnic Minority Villages of Guizhou Province. For reference, the train ride from Guilin Railway Station (West) to Guizhou takes approximately 1 x hour.
Picture
Upon arriving into Guizhou Province, a separate driver will be awaiting arrival and we'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.

Following the village tour and cultural experience, we'll then transfer to a separate village - Tang'an Village where you can further explore and thereafter, commence a hike through rice terraces and natural scenery. The hike is a downhill hike leading to the largest Dong ethnic minority village in the world - Zhaoxing.
Picture
Upon reaching Zhaoxing Dong Ethnic Minority Village, you will explore the village and be able to compare the differences between the other villages seen during the day. There's also a local performance which is held in the late afternoon/early evening but just depends upon train departure time and whether it's being performed when visiting.

After visiting Zhaoxing Dong Ethnic Minority Village (and depending upon departure train timetable), you'll be transferred to the high-speed train station to return to Guilin. Upon arrival back into Guilin (or Yangshuo as this can be offered too), your driver will be awaiting your arrival and transfer you to your hotel. END OF TOUR.
