Zhaoping County

An opportunity for westerners to visit rural China. Travel with China Backpackers.Com through unspoiled villages dating from the Ming period and nestled among the spectacular Karst topography that Guangxi Province is famous for.

The area is relative untouristed. Zhaoping receives some visitors from Hong Kong and Taiwan, but few westerners.

I worked with an old friend, Chen Wen Gang, to modify a Guilin tour that will allow visitors to experience Zhaoping's villages and by-ways as I did in the autumn of 1998.  This part of China is best experienced during  the planting and harvest seasons of May and September.
