The province's current tourism theme, "Colorful Guizhou", is part of the local authorities' efforts to tell the world about the region's multifaceted soul, and that it goes beyond ethnic diversity and fields of flowers.
Xie Nian, deputy head of the publicity department of the Communist Party of China's Guizhou Provincial Committee, says that initiatives continue to enhance the province's environment, cultural vitality and overall visitor experience.
That commitment was evident in Lizhi Gorge, where we boarded a pavilion-inspired boat and glided silently through emerald waters framed by towering cliffs. The water's clarity and the pristine scenery were testament to the value placed on the environment and its ecology.
