|
Guizhou province lies in southwest China, between 103°37' and 109°32'E and 24°37' and 29°13'N.
Many national minorities (Dong, Hui, Yao, Zhuang) live in Guizhou, with the Miao in the majority.
85 per cent of Guizhou is a high plateau crossed by mountain ranges, the highest peak being 2900m/9520ft. The level of the land drops in three stages from east to west, and the dense network of rivers and valleys produces a very complex natural structure.
The climate is the typical monsoon type with mild winters and warm summers. In the capital Guiyang the average temperature in July is 24°C (75°F) and in January 4°C (39°F).
Rainfall amounts are very large (1000-1500mm/40-60in.
