Exploring the beautiful crafts of Guizhou 😍

Guizhou province in China is renowned for its rich tradition of textile and embroidery crafts. The province is home to many ethnic minority groups, including the Miao, Dong, and Buyi, who have developed their unique styles of embroidery and textile over centuries. These traditional crafts are an integral part of the local culture and have been passed down through generations. Visitors to Guizhou can explore local markets and villages and witness the intricate embroidery and weaving techniques firsthand. The Miao people, in particular, are famous for their embroidery, which features intricate designs and vibrant colors. The Dong people are known for their batik textiles, which involve applying wax to fabric before dyeing to create unique patterns. Visitors can also participate in workshops and learn these traditional crafts from local artisans. By supporting these traditional crafts, visitors can help preserve the local culture and way of life while also taking home unique and authentic souvenirs. 💚 #chinalife #mytripvlog #tripblazers #guizhou #guizhoutravel #art #heritage #localculture

The best thing happen when you get here!

While wandering in Xinjiang, Miao Villages I was lucky to witnessed and experienced their Ethnic dance performance. It was amazing, after their performance you are allowed to take pictures with them they will welcome you with a warm smile. Aside from that, you can't leave in this place without trying there local dessert that you can buy everywhere in the streets for ¥5. The ginger tea and of course the famous barbecue stick that cost ¥10 for 10 pcs. If your fan of milktea don't worry this place has too 😂😊. #chinesenewyearadventure #2023travelwish #travelalone #guizhoutravel #wintergetaway

Dongshan Park - Mini hiking experience

The area is quite famous so a lot of transport systems pass through there. Depending with where you’re coming from, there are bus, subway or taxi options (Didi included). The entrance is a little tricky to find, I got lost twice, haha. Check my second slide to see where the entrance is exactly. The place has beautiful gates that you see as you climb up, very colorful and well designed. It’s literally hiking but kinda easy because there are stairs so you’ll be blessed to get a view of the city of Guiyang the higher you go. Once you get to the top, there’s the key feature of the scenic spot: the temple. A well designed structure if I must say. There’s a pavilion also and most people prefer to go early morning or end of day to see the sunrise or sunset. There are many hotels nearby. Food & beverages are sold at the summit of the mountain. Not a wide range to choose from though. There are some people who sell jewelry and prayer accessories handmade by monks. #gthatguy1 #dongshan #guiyang #guizhoutravel #chinatravel #hiking

Unique Experience at Yelang Valley

Spend a couple hours exploring these unique stone statues near Guiyang. The park is not very big so 1-2 hours should be plenty. There’s quite a few vendors selling a drinks and snacks and a gift shop with themed art to purchase. If you want to take photos get there early. The sun can create some unattractive shadows so go on a cloudy for better photos. Cost - 20 rmb Getting There - Drive about 45 minutes from the Guiyang city center. Take a didi there if you don’t have a car. I was easily able to find one coming back too. #summervacation #chinatravel #guiyang #guizhoutravel #guizhou #guizhoutrip #urbanexplorer

Best Views of Guiyang

Head up to DongShan park for incredible views of the city. The sunset is spectacular but it is very crowded at this time. This is a very popular spot for locals to go for sunset. There’s two entrances to the peak, the one in the south seems to have a lot more stairs and is the entrance used by most people. There can a bit of a jam of people all going down together after sunset. You can stay longer on top to enjoy the night view to avoid this. I checked the star charts and stayed until 10:30 to watch the moonrise. I’ve heard the southern entrance won’t allow you up after 6pm but the northern entrance isn’t as strict. #guiyang #guizhou #guizhoutravel #chinatravel #summervacation

Stone Head Castle in Guiyang

This holiday I decided to pick a completely random destination just from looking at a map of China. I decided on Guiyang as I hadn't seen much about it on social media. I am extremely happy with this choice. On the first day we went to the Stone Head Castle built by Song Peilun during his 70s. Each head is uniquely designed and there are more than 200 stone heads on the grounds. This project took him 20 years. From the city, you can take a taxi for 70rmb and that takes 45mins OR you can take a bus for 2 hours. There are plenty of food vendors on site and lots of souvenir shops. The cost of an entry ticket is 20rmb. #guiyang #guizhoutravel #chinatravel #tigeryear2022 #stoneheads #travels #travel Inspiration

Experiencing beautiful Miao Village

If you are planning a trip to Guizhou province then this is one of the best place to visit 🏞. From kaili you can take a taxi or coach to this village. This place is like a full package with beautiful biggest Miao village, mountains, small stream, green fields and very vibrant night streets and restaurants 🍜 with live music 🎼 and programs 💃. Usually This place will be crowded but if you want a quite and peaceful atmosphere to enjoy the beauty of village then it's best to stay at a hotel inside the village.

Early mornings are very quite and peaceful with melodious sounds of birds chirping and burbling stream. #momentsmission #thanksgiving #luxuryhotel #xijiang Miao village #kaili #guizhoutravel #guizhou #village #miaovillage #china #xijiangmiaovillage #historicculture#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer

Great architecture in Guiyang

Sometimes you see some architecture that you either hate or love, not a lot in between. I love this apartment buildings in Guiyang, some people call them skewer-buildings or 串串-houses in Chinese. The official name of the compound is "龙禧苑", you can either shoot them from the street or from opposite buildings. I tried to keep certain privacy standards and didn't shoot any people. I guess that will be appreciated. It's about the architecture, not about the people living inside. 📍Where is it? It's in Guizhou provinces capital Guiyang, in the west part of the new city, south of GuanShanHu park. #architecture #architecturephotography #guizhoutravel

The village of the "Kaili Blues" movie

Bi Gan is a Chinese director who created Arthouse movies. He is from Kaili and I like his movies, so I decided to visit the village, where large parts of the movie was filmed. 👁️ Uncle Zhang had a small part in the movie and can show you around. You can find his phone number on posters inside the village. (Chinese only) 🚎 You can take a local bus to arrive there. It's less than 20 RMB. Name of the village: Ping Liang Village (平良村) #guizhoutravel #movie #china

My travel experience

I spent 3 days in Anshun and I have visited Huangguoshu waterfall and Dragon palace cave 🏞. Waterfall is 41km and Cave is 17. 7km away from downtown. The cheapest way to travel is to take shuttle bus from Anshun east coach station 🚌. To waterfall it costs around 22 RMB per person and to cave around 12 RMB. 📍 Entrance fee to waterfall including all other attractions inside and shuttle bus is around 200 RMB. In the Huangguoshu waterfall they have an escalator near to waterfall so no need to climb the hill.which has to pay extra 50 RMB for both ways. A good place if you like to spend more with greenery and nature. 📍 Entrance fee to cave is around 150 RMB including shuttle bus and boat ride. They charge extra 10 RMB 💴 for insurance if you doesn't want you can avoid that. This place I liked the most in Anshun. I loved the boat ride experience through the longest and beautiful cave and also the view of dragon field. Which is the biggest Chinese letter field 🌿 #travelguide #china #waterfall #cave #mountain #guizhoutravel #summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer
