Southwest China 西南中国

Southwest China is the most exotic area of China. It is home to the most ethnic groups in China. Much of the terrain is quite mountainous. Tibet and Northwestern Yunnan are located on the Tibetan Plateau and have many very high mountains; including the world's highest (Mount Everest) which is located on the Tibet/Nepalese border. Guizhou has smaller mountains, terraced rice fields, and many caves.

By far, Southwest China has been our most traveled location that has spanned nearly 4 decades. As much as we have traveled in this region, there is still so much more to explore. We’ve been blessed to have met many of the wonderful ethnic groups that make up this great area like the Zhuang, Miao, Bai, Bai, Dong, Mosuo and Tibetans. They have their own languages and distinct culture. The Mosuo people are special in that they are the only matriarch based society in China.
