CCTV+:240 Hours: Unlock the Vibrant Charms of Guizhou, the "Park Province"
BEIJING, Aug. 13, 2025 /CNW/ -- With 240 hours, visitors from afar can discover the countless wonders hidden within Guizhou, the "Park Province." Known as the "Emerald on the Earth's Belt," this land unfurls a magnificent, three-dimensional karst masterpiece for the world, made effortlessly accessible by transit visa exemption. At dawn, stand on the viewing platform of Huangguoshu Waterfall. Watch the mighty silver cascade—carved by millennia of geological forces—plunge from the 77.8-meter-high cliff. Rainbows dance in the mist, interwoven with the resonant beat of bronze drums played by elderly Buyi people. By afternoon, drive to Libo's Zhangjiang River. Glide through the emerald valleys of Xiaoqikong on a bamboo raft, where the water shifts through secret hues from emerald to peacock blue with the play of light and shadow. Macaques occasionally leap between ancient trees and hanging vines along the banks. As dusk settles, witness thousands of lights ignite in Xijiang Thousand Households Miao Village, like stars cascading into the valley. Learn the Lusheng dance with Miao girls and savor a bite of sour fish soup at the long-table feast—the tangy aroma, brewed from tomatoes and litsea cubeba, embodies the local wisdom of "nourishing the body with sourness." For the culturally inclined, visit Zhaoxing Dong Village to hear the mesmerizing a cappella Dong Grand Chorus. Watch embroiderers weave mountains, rivers, flowers, and birds into intricate patterns with flying fingertips. Or, sit quietly at the observation deck of the "China Sky Eye" in Pingtang, waiting for the radio telescope to capture cosmic pulses from billions of light-years away. Within those 240 hours, you can marvel at the dove trees blooming like fluttering white doves amidst Fanjing Mountain's sea of clouds, and also discover a century-old braised pig's trotter on the stone-paved lanes of Qingyan Ancient Town. Bolstered by the visa exemption policy, services like multilingual guides and international payment options are continuously improving. This "natural air-conditioned province," blessed with refreshing summer temperatures around 23°C, extends a global invitation for a rendezvous with stunning landscapes and vibrant cultures. Every moment spent here becomes a vivid footnote to the saying: "Travel all over China, the most beautiful is colorful Guizhou."

Community gathers in spirit for Africa Day
Well-known Mohlakeng pastor Buyi Zulu gave a spiritual, uplifting and motivational sermon at Mohlakeng St Paul's Anglican Church recently to commemorate Mother's Day and Africa Day activities. Pastor Buyi comes from a charismatic Christian background but was previously part of a more mainstream Anglican church that followed the ideals of the late Emeritus Archbishop Desmond Tutu, particularly his all-embracing approach, which promotes tolerance across both Christian and non-Christian faiths. Being Christian does not mean one must detach from their African identity. We must still find our sense of morality and behaviour through our shared humanity,' she said. In her address, she told women that they play an important role. 'God had a purpose when He created women. Creation could not be perfect without a woman. When women have a partnership with God, all will be good, things will happen.' She called on women in all spheres and dimensions, particularly in Mohlakeng, to go on their knees and pray for the youth, the abuse of drugs and recent criminal activities. According to Buyi, in the township, certain members of the community have been targets of robbery incidents in their households.
