Ethnic Tourism Development in Qiandongnan In 1982 the Guizhou Tourism Bureau (GTB) was established and began promoting two separate tourist routes out of Guiyang. The western route emphasized lakes, caves, waterfalls, and other scenic attractions peculiar to karst landscapes, all within easy access of Guiyang. The eastern route, in Qiandongnan, was to emphasize both scenery and minzu customs. Developments in Qiandongnan did not really get underway until 1985, with the opening of Kaili (the prefecturual capital), Shibing, and Zhenyuan to foreign tourists, and with the establishment of a prefectural tourism bureau in Kaili (Qiandongnan's most well known scenic sites--Yuntai Mountain and the Wuyang Gorge--are located in Shibing and Zhenyuan). More remote from Guiyang, with poorer roads and fewer financial resources, Qiandongnan lagged considerably behind the western route in terms of investments and numbers of tourists (Table 2).6 The majority of tourists who did come, however, tended to be foreigners or compatriots from Hong Kong who stayed longer and spent more money than their counterparts along the western route (Table 3). From 1985 to 1990, roughly sixty percent of the foreign tourists in Qiandongnan were from Japan. The idea that the Miao and the Japanese came from the same origins had become popular in Japan after teams of Japanese ethnographers visited Qiandongnan in the early 1980s and published books on the Miao. The books commented on Miao customs and dress which were similar to those found in ancient feudal Japan; soon many Japanese tourists were coming to Qiandongnan to look for their roots.
