Using visual art as a mirror to reflect the charming culture in Southwest China's Guizhou province, 31 photographers, illustrators, designers and filmmakers from home and abroad provide their own narrative about the region during a recent visit.

Organized by China Daily and the local publicity department, Visual@China Guizhou 2024 took artists from China, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Spain, Peru, Laos, Malaysia, Nepal and Bhutan on an immersive cultural journey.

From Sept 10 to 15, they explored the beautiful landscapes, experienced local culture and customs, visited ancient villages inhabited by ethnic groups, and enjoyed signature cuisine.

Presenting the artists' creations, this page showcases the colorful ethnic culture and splendid natural scenery.
