Description: "In the south west of China, the so-called 'mountains of the moon' form a natural barrier within the province of Guizhou -- a region so isolated that life there resembles a different era. Undiscovered China explores this province and its people, particularly the Miao, who make up the largest ethnic group in the area, and who have been unaffected by change. It documents their customs, legends and festivals, and a rural cycle that is still very much dominated by the seasons."--Book jacket.
