Quick Introduction

The Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau is located in the hinterland of China with high and precipitous mountains. The Yunnan Plateau is 1800-1900 meters and the Guizhou Plateau is on average 1000 meters above sea level. They are cut by many rivers and separated into hilly areas, river valleys, basins and small plains. Its complex topography forms the unique natural landscapes here. The Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau is also home to different ethnic groups, such as the Miao, Dong, Zhuang, Yi, Zhao, etc. They live here and form the cultural customs of ethnic minorities in Southwest China. Going deep into the southwestern hinterland, exploring the natural landscapes and living conditions of the ethnic groups here, will give you further understanding of China.
