A mosque in Guiyang that predates most of the city
Guiyang Mosque was founded in 1712 and remains the centre of the province's Muslim life. It is modest, central and easy to reach.
Guizhou is the province China forgot to advertise: Asia's largest waterfall, hundreds of Miao and Dong villages with their own dress, music and architecture, and a Guiyang mosque that has been serving the city's Muslims since 1712.
Guiyang, the provincial capital, is a hilly, green city with a Hui community and a mosque founded in the early eighteenth century. It is also the most convenient base for the province: the Huangguoshu waterfall is two hours away and the minority village country of south-east Guizhou starts just beyond that.
The villages are the real reason to come. The Miao and Dong of Guizhou have kept languages, festivals, embroidery and — in the Dong case — some of the most beautiful covered wind-and-rain bridges in Asia. It is genuine, not staged, and in many villages you are still the only foreign visitor of the week.
Guizhou has no fixed halal package from us, so we build it privately. That suits the province: the best days involve detours, mountain roads and unplanned stops, and halal arrangements work best when we plan them around a specific route.
The halal guarantee on every Guizhou itinerary: certified halal restaurants only, no pork and no alcohol on the premises, the full list with addresses sent before you fly, and your guide re-checking each booking the day before you eat there.

Guiyang's beef rice noodles are the local breakfast and are halal in the classic shops. We list the verified ones and show you the character to look for.
Huangguoshu Falls, the Zhaoxing Dong villages and the karst around Anshun need no interpretation — good for a family that wants scenery rather than museums.
Miao embroidery and Dong weaving are living crafts. We visit homes and workshops rather than shows.
We do not currently sell a fixed departure here. That is deliberate: Guizhou rewards a private route, and halal logistics work far better when they are built around your exact dates.
Not a list of every mosque — the ones we actually build into itineraries, with women's prayer space and wudhu facilities confirmed.
Guiyang
Founded in 1712, the oldest and most important mosque in Guizhou, in the city centre and still an active congregation.
Anshun
A smaller Hui community near Huangguoshu with a local mosque, useful for planning prayer around the waterfall day.
Kaili
Gateways into the Miao and Dong village country. Muslim facilities here are limited, so we confirm prayer stops and pack halal meals on these days.
Clear beef broth, rice noodles, chilli and pickles. The classic Guiyang breakfast, and halal in the shops we use.
Miao-style fish in a fermented tomato and chilli broth. We book kitchens that cook it without pork fat or cooking wine.
Thin rice wrappers you fill yourself with shredded vegetables and a sour dipping sauce — a great, cheap, interactive lunch.
The south-east has its own noodle and smoked-meat tradition, easy to eat halal with your guide ordering.
The largest waterfall in Asia, with the walkway that passes behind the curtain of water.
The largest Dong settlement in China, with its drum towers and wind-and-rain bridges.
A thousand Miao households on a hillside; spectacular at night, busy in the day.
A Ming-era stone town south of Guiyang, useful as a half day.
The 1712 mosque, plus Jiaxiu Pavilion and Guiyang's famously chilli-heavy night food streets.
Longgong cave and the stone forest scenery around Anshun.
A working skeleton, not a fixed package. We rebuild it around your dates, your prayer needs and whoever is travelling with you.
Land at KWE. Guiyang Mosque, Jiaxiu Pavilion, and a chilli-heavy halal dinner.
Drive to Anshun for the waterfall and the walkway behind it, with a prayer stop en route.
Rail or drive to Kaili, then out to a Miao village. Packed halal lunch.
Dong and Miao villages; the drum towers and wind-and-rain bridges of the south-east.
Ming-era town on the way back to Guiyang, evening free.
Add zhaoxing-area village markets, or fly onward to Kunming or Chongqing.
Longdongbao International — about 2 hours 30 from Shanghai or Beijing, with high-speed rail from Guangzhou and Kunming. Connections to Kaili by rail are fast and frequent.
March to May and September to November are the best windows — mild, green and clear. Summer is cool by Chinese standards but wet, with heavy rain and occasional flooding on the mountain roads. Winter is grey and damp. The Miao and Dong festival calendar has major dates in spring and autumn, which we can build a trip around.
Send your dates and who is travelling. A Muslim advisor replies within one hour during China working hours with a day-by-day halal plan for Guizhou — restaurants, mosques, prayer times, hotels and an itemised price.
