By adopting ArcGIS technology and econometric method, a study has been carried out on the classification, time change characteristics, spatial pattern distribution characteristics and development level structure of 104 rural tourist attractions in Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province. The results show that the rural tourist attractions in Qiandongnan Prefecture can be divided into four first-class categories and ten second-class categories with a great difference in the development scale and spatial structure of each category. From the perspective of temporal evolution, 2004—2012 is the initial stage of rural tourism development in Qiandongnan Prefecture, a period with a relatively small development scale and slow growth rate of the four first-class categories of rural tourism attractions. 2012—2018 is a stage witnessing the rural tourism development in Qiandongnan Prefecture, with the rural tourism development scale achieving certain results with an obvious acceleration. From the perspective of spatial evolution, rural tourism attractions under the 4 first-level categories are unevenly distributed, while the traffic conditions and water resources have a huge impact on the spatial pattern of rural tourism attractions, with a relatively high overall concentration of rural tourist attractions in the region. There is a great discrepancy in the development ranking index of rural tourist attractions between counties and cities, with Leishan County characterized with the highest development ranking index of 2.68; Majiang County, Tianzhu County and Zhenyuan County an index of 0.14, the lowest one among all.
