Guizhou people are so tight-lipped! They never told us about this beautiful place!
I’m so “angry” with Guizhou people! How could they keep such a beautiful place a secret? 😭 Today, I’m going to reveal this hidden gem in Zunyi, Guizhou, that is seriously underrated: Wujiang Village International Resort.
The resort is home to the cultural characteristics of eight ethnic minorities. The green Wujiang River reflects the unique stilted buildings. Take a boat ride along the river and enjoy the scenery, as if you’ve traveled back in time. The resort offers a variety of folk activities, such as tea brewing, hanging pot banquets, fish lantern parades, and fire pot performances. Each activity is full of ethnic flavor. It’s like “a night in the village, a thousand years in Guizhou.”
Winter is here, and the resort has carefully created the “Wujiang Village Winter Song - Hot Art Season” to showcase the multi-ethnic customs of Guizhou.

You must try the special mutton hanging pot banquet, which is located in front of the ancient theater on Huilong Island. You can enjoy the performance while eating.
The sour soup fish on the riverside food street is a must-try dish in Guizhou. It’s sour, spicy, and delicious. You’ll love it after one bite.
