Chinese Culture Experience Area
China’s Guizhou Province, renowned as “Colorful Guizhou”, is celebrated for its unique geographical environment, multi-ethnic communities, dazzling intangible cultural heritage such as Miao batik and Dong Grand Choir, and abundant tea resources. Home to 7 million mu (approximately 466,667 hectares) of tea plantations, Guizhou nurtures world-famous teas like Duyun Maojian, Meitan Cuiya, and Zunyi Hong, with the craftsmanship of Duyun Maojian recognized as a national-level intangible cultural heritage. Distinctive tea customs such as the Miao ethnic group’s “Lei Mian Tea” (pounded tea) and the Dong people’s “Da You Tea” (oil tea) exemplify the deep integration of tea into daily life, reflecting the harmony between culture, nature, and tradition in the region.
