The city pulsed with the rhythm of lusheng flutes, the thunder of gongs and drums, and the graceful movements of ethnic dances. Participants from various ethnic groups, adorned in their finest attire, transformed the streets into a living stage for cultural expression.
The two-kilometer parade, orchestrated by director Tang Huang, celebrated the theme of ethnic unity and collective joy. It showcased the open and welcoming spirit of Guizhou, aiming to present its rich ethnic heritage to a wider audience.
The festivities extended beyond the parade to embrace younger visitors with city tours that blended urban culture and lifestyle experiences. Guiyang also boasts eclectic markets and contemporary exhibitions, offering a vibrant blend of tradition and modernity.
