You will be met and welcomed by the guide in Guiyang Airport（Early Flight）. Guizhou is nicknamed 'The Kingdom of Mountains', as 87% of its land is comprised of mountains and plateaus. The afternoon's program highlights the remaining culture of the old Han (Chinese) ethnic group. The ancestors of these villagers migrated from Jiangxi Province to Guizhou Province in the Ming Dynasty. We will visit Jichang Old Han village. Women here are still dressed in traditional Ming dynasty costumes, and houses remain faithful to the Ming architectural styles. In the village we would also watch the Ground Opera, which is called a fossil of opera because it has been played for over 6 centuries.（LD）
