🇨🇳 Hidden Wonders of Guizhou: A Journey to Congjiang’s Traditional Charm

#favouriteitinerary Guizhou’s Congjiang is a hidden gem, offering a unique glimpse into the traditional life of the Miao and Dong ethnic groups. Nestled amidst stunning mountains and picturesque landscapes, Congjiang is known for its well-preserved culture, stunning wooden architecture, and vibrant festivals. Visitors can explore the quaint villages, admire the intricately carved wooden houses, and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. The region is also famous for the beautiful Yanziyan (Swallow Cliff) and the picturesque Dong-style Wind and Rain Bridges. To get to Congjiang, the most common way is to travel to Guiyang, the provincial capital of Guizhou, either by train or flight. From Guiyang, take a bus or hire a private car for the roughly 3-4 hour journey to Congjiang. The town is well-connected by road, making it easy to reach, though the mountainous terrain offers a scenic, yet winding, ride. Once there, you’ll be rewarded with an authentic cultural experience unlike anywhere else.
