In Guizhou, they say the men envy the tiger for its strength and the tiger envies the women of their splendor. Few visitors make the effort to reach one of China's most remote provinces, but for those who do, a rich feast of the senses awaits. This tour is centered around the abundant artistic traditions of Guizhou that give the women of this mountain province their famed magnificence. Under the expert eye of local artisans, you will try your hand at silver working, embroidery and pottery.
Nothing beats studying a culture like learning from the source, with the many and varied minority cultures of Guizhou delighted to share their time honored crafts with outsiders. Classes and workshops in the village give you time to really slow down and appreciate village life for the Miao and Dong people. Classes are then spilt between refreshing hikes up in the surrounding hills and valleys where, just like the locals, you too can gain design inspiration for your very own handmade souvenir.
