Kaili City Walk: Where ethnic culture comes alive day and night

Welcome to Kaili in Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, southwest China's Guizhou Province, where diverse ethnic cultures are woven into the very texture of the city.

By day, visitors can explore a treasure trove of ethnic artistry at the Xiulitao Intangible Cultural Heritage Market and sample local snacks to satisfy any foodie's cravings.

By night, instead of being just a visitor, become a participant. Taking part in a "Village T" fashion show offers a closer look at locals' passion for their culture.

In the Miao language, Kaili means "a newly reclaimed land full of hope." Come visit and you will see why: whether through its renewed splendor of tradition or the enthusiasm locals hold for life, something here feels very much alive.
