In the countryside of China’s southwestern province, Guizhou, diverse ethnic minority villages are separated by lush, terraced hills.  On the 12-day “Country Colors” journey, you will take your time combining short, picturesque hikes along these terraces, with stops to watch traditional dancing and singing performances and to converse with villagers and local craftsmen.  The colorful and varied traditional clothing and jewelry adorned by the various village communities are just a couple visual indicators that you have arrived at a Miao or Dong ethnic minority village – villages where you meet with local families, experiencing the rich cultural traditions and the quieter, slower pace of life of Guizhou’s colorful countryside.
