Yaoshan village, an ethnic Yao settlement in Libo, also drew praise from the international travelers. Local residents create and sell products that feature both modern aesthetic elements and their ethnic features, without having to leave parents and children behind to work in plants in big cities. Richard Max Gavrich, a professor at the California College of the Arts, praised that approach, saying it is one of the best ways to keep ethnic culture and traditions alive.

Guizhou is much more than natural scenery and ethnic charm. The mountainous province is also home to nearly half of the world's 100 highest bridges, including the Baling River Bridge, which stands 370 meters and extends approximately 2,237 meters. It has become a hot destination for extreme sports, including bungee jumping and high-altitude swings. The commercial bungee jumping site at Baling River Bridge has been certified by Guinness World Records as the world's highest.
