This is the best trip I've ever taken, bar none. And I've been all over. Usually, I prefer to figure things out on my own, but this particular trip was quite ambitious, so I ended up contacting a tour company, which turned out to be a godsend. I had roped all of my friends into coming to visit me in China, and I wanted to show them a good time unlike anything they had ever done before. China Explorer Tour got back to me with a perfect destination: a karst cave in rural Guizhou. And so I brought my friends to a hole in mountain in the middle of nowhere in one of China's least-developed provinces and had a massive party. I am still amazed that I was able to find a tour operator to provide the type of experience I was looking for. The locals from the village below rucked everything up to the cave--food, spirits, music, even a cake--cooked us a beautiful local meal, sang and danced, outdrank us, cleaned up, and had a lovely breakfast ready the next morning when we were all hanging. And all of this was done sustainably in an utterly pristine landscape. Truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I doubt I'll ever top it, and I can't thank China Explorer Tour enough. Again, I've travelled a lot, especially in China, but I've never encountered a tour company as professional, personable, communicative, and fun as these guys. I have since done a couple of their other tours that are not listed on this site, which were also outstanding. They are absolutely the go-to operator for travelling in China.

This Guizhou trip completely blew me away. From exploring ancient caves by torchlight and sharing a cave-side meal with local villagers, to hands-on Miao embroidery workshops and singing around a campfire—every day felt special. The scenery was stunning, the food was amazing (don’t miss the sour fish soup!), and the local experiences felt real, not staged. I especially loved the secret teahouse with a breathtaking view and the Dong village music night. It was immersive, off the beaten path, and full of heart. Highly recommended for anyone looking for something different in China.
