Guizhou province, located in Southwest China, is home to dozens of ethnic groups whose unique cultures have helped the province boast a wide range of intangible cultural heritages.
Guizhou authorities declared a war on poverty several years ago, unveiling an array of measures to aid people living in impoverished conditions ranging from subsidies to support startups.
New measures are being devised to raise the living standards of the country's poorest groups by giving new life to moribund villages in the rural areas.
