Guizhou is a multi-minority province in southwest mainland China. It is surrounded by Sichuan Province to the north, the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region to the south, Yunnan Province to the west, and Hunan Province to the east. With its marvelous landscapes, simple ethnic customs (see Guizhou Ethnic Festivals), cultural and historical relics, and pleasant climate, Guizhou is attracting more and more tourists, both domestic and international.
Most of the amazing scenic spots are located in areas in which minorities live.

Dragon Palace is a spectacular underground Karst cave located 32 kilometers southwest of Anshun, Guizhou. You can take a boat to see the splendid sights of the caves.
