Post Trip Break-away: South East Guizhou

Journey to the Drum Towers : Your adventure begins with a swift flight from Shanghai to Guiyang, a gateway to a world where 92% of the land is dramatic, mountainous terrain. After an authentic local lunch, explore the historic Jiaxiu Tower and Jucheng Square in the heart of the city. By afternoon, you’ll whisk away via high-speed train to Zhaoxing, a timeless village famous for its soaring ancient drum towers.

Sacred Traditions & Hidden Villages: Prepare for deep cultural immersion as we head to Huanggang Village for a traditional "Welcome Wine" ceremony. You’ll be serenaded by the legendary folk songs of the Xiaohuang Dong Village elders before spending your afternoon exploring the unique customs of the Basha Miao Village. We return to Zhaoxing in the evening, surrounded by the echoes of ancient history.

Terraces & Traditional Crafts: Wake up to the stunning scenery of the Tang'an Terraced Fields for a morning hike through some of China’s most beautiful agricultural landscapes. The afternoon is yours to enjoy—we highly recommend an optional workshop to experience the intricate art of Batik craftsmanship directly within Zhaoxing Dong Village.

The Scenic Route Home: Enjoy one last morning in the mountains before boarding a high-speed train back to Guiyang. From there, you’ll head directly to the airport for your flight back to Shanghai, for your onward flight to your Home City, carrying memories of the Karst Kingdom with you.
