Kaili is home to over one hundred festivals a year. The most common festival is the lusheng festival held often during spring festiavl and the festival is celebrated by the miao and dong villagers around kaili.
At festival time the miao women wear their stunning sliver jewellery often piling on five or six neck rings at a time as well as chains loins, chest locks and multiple headresses ,silver was originally obtained from melting old coins and girls wear huge horned silver headdresses and crowns with delicate birds and flowers and coins.
festival it's time for the people to get together, provide the opportunity to travel around,socialize,meet friends and kinsfolk and be entertained by singing and the dance. a market is frequently set up during the festival time that allows people to buy much needed goods!

Hi Louisa,

I am from Belgium.
Last november I was travelling in Guizhou, Kaili and around.

Next week I'll come again to visit the festivals.
Do you have more detailed info as to where and when those festivals are held?

Thanks,
Herman

Hi Louisa,

I have been here for almost a year but I haven’t heard of those minority festivals yet. I heard Kaili is a nice place to go because of its splendid sceneries and I’m hoping to pay a visit in this coming Spring Fest… Can you name some nice hotels there?

From Shenzhen you can take a plane or train to get here in Guiyang. I bet there’s no direct train that goes to Kaili. Once you’re in Guiyang you can take a bus that goes to Kaili.
You can read about the complete details in the below link:

Are you going to travel by yourself? Getting to Kaili isn’t that difficult but it’s better to have someone who knows much about the places, etc. I am planning to have a tour there also maybe as a group so it’ll be merrier. By the way, when do u tend to visit Kaili?
