Guizhou

Huangguoshu's thundering waterfall, the turquoise karst pools of Libo and Miao villages stacked up the hillsides — Guizhou is China's cool, green southwest.

What to see

• Anshun — Huangguoshu Waterfall — 78 metres high and the largest in Asia, walkable behind the curtain of water
• Libo — Xiaoqikong — turquoise pools and karst valleys in a subtropical forest
• Xijiang — Xijiang Miao Village — more than 1,000 stilt houses climbing a hillside, with silver-jewellery workshops
• Guiyang — Jiaxiu Tower, Qingyan Ancient Town and the city’s famous sour fish hotpot
