Located in the Southwest region, Guizhou province is nicknamed as the Switzerland of China for having amazing mountains, a cool climate, stunning lakes and hearty food. There's also a historical road in the area that looks like a snake which is a must see for tourists.

The historical 24-bend snake road literally looks like a snake with sharp curves that will make one dizzy before reaching the destination. According to CNN, the road was once used during World War II as a route for delivering supplies. But the road has been inactive which is just an attraction for tourists today or a passage for locals.

But aside from that, Guizhou is the perfect place for travelers who want to experience Switzerland with a twist. Both places have similar attractions and landscapes but the former is just so rich in culture. According to China Highlights, there are different ethnic groups in Guizhou which make the province culturally diverse.

Tourists can experience the daily lives of the different minority groups like the Miao, Bouyei, Shui, Dong and Yi people. It's a nice opportunity for tourists to experience the different customs and traditions of the locals.

The good thing is that the attractions are also located in the areas where the people live so you'll have a good mix of experiencing nature and culture at the same time. The different attractions in the region are the Huangguoshu Waterfall, Dragon Palace Cave and Caohai Lake.

Huangguoshu Waterfall, which means yellow fruit tree, is famous for being the tallest waterfall in Asia. It's been rated as one of the most scenic places in China by the Chinese Tourism Board.

Meanwhile, the Dragon Palace Cave is an underground cave with a water system of its own. It has scenic rock formations, lakes and waterfalls in the cave itself.

Caohai Lake on the other hand is famous for being a bird sanctuary because of the different species of birds that flock to the area. It's just a small mountain that's good for tourists who love tranquility.

Guizhou is a must see for travelers because there's a reason why it's called the Switzerland of China. Make sure you plan for it in your next travels.
