Internet celebrity check-in point
In addition to eating, drinking and having fun when you come to Qianhu Miao Village in Xijiang, it is worthwhile to take photos of Internet celebrities. We lived in Miao Village for a few days, walking up and down the streets and alleys. If we want to take pictures of Miao village celebrities, we must first rent a set of Miao costumes. Since I carried too much photographic equipment, I was too lazy to change into Miao costumes. I really regret it now, 5555...
1. North Gate of Miao Village:
The north gate of Qianhu Miao Village in Xijiang is the entrance to the scenic spot. Everyone who comes here will drink high mountain water and twelve gate wine. Miao men and women in costumes welcome us. , but a slightly drunk tour of Miao Village is another experience.
High mountains and flowing water and door-blocking wine are the highest etiquette for Miao villages to welcome guests. The high mountains and flowing water are lined up in order from high to low. On both sides, ten Miao sisters hold wine bowls connected to each other, and pour rice wine into the mouths of guests from top to bottom, forming a Spectacular scene of mountains and rivers.
Twelve barrier wines are lined up one by one, and they drink ox horn wine. Whenever there are distinguished guests or folk activities in Miao village, they must drink ox horn wine. You can only drink ox horn wine with your mouth, not with your hands. You can pass the test with just one sip.
2. Wind and Rain Bridge:
Miao villages pay attention to being close to mountains and rivers, and generally build wind and rain bridges on streams and rivers, which can not only store wind and store energy, keep out wind and rain, but also pray for good weather and good harvests.
There are five wind and rain bridges in Qianhu Miao Village in Xijiang. There are many people no matter what time of day you go. It is recommended to take pictures in the morning with fewer people. The night scene is also beautiful in the evening. We stopped and went all morning and took pictures from various angles.
3. Lusheng field:
Lusheng Field is located between No. 2 and No. 3 Fengyu Bridge. It is suitable for aerial photography, and it looks good with a super wide-angle lens, provided that you wear Miao costumes. There are Miao singing and dancing performances every afternoon in the Lusheng Field, which can be watched for free with tickets.
4. National song and dance performance venue:
If you want to watch the Miao singing and dancing performance of "Beautiful Xijiang", you can go to the folk singing and dancing performance venue, which is between No. 3 and No. 4 Fengyu Bridge. The "Beautiful Xijiang" performance needs to buy a ticket to enter the venue, and you have to wait until the end of the show to take photos with strong visual impact.
5. Viewing platform:
If you want to see the panoramic view of Qianhu Miao Village in Xijiang, the viewing platform on the top of the mountain is the best viewing spot. Looking at the Miao Village divided into two by the Baishui River, layers of stilted buildings spread from the top of the mountain to the distant hills, which is very magnificent. .
The viewing platform is a must-see for every tourist, but unfortunately there are too many people, it is only suitable for taking panoramic views of the Miao Village, especially the brightly lit Miao Village at night is very spectacular. If you want to take pictures of Internet celebrities, you can only take part of the scene, and it takes time to wait for fewer people to take pictures.
6. Internet celebrity hotel:
My fellow friends have been to Miao Village and said that it is more beautiful to go down from the top of the mountain and take pictures at Muyue Villa Hotel. We avoided the crowds and walked down the mountain. Sure enough, we took a picture of the magnificent Miao Village panorama. We plan to take another night view at night. I believe it will be even better.
If you want to take pictures of Internet celebrities, the Yunting Panorama Hotel on the mountainside has a great view. It took us a long time to find it. If you want to take pictures, you should ask the local Miao people.
This stilted building is very beautiful. The third floor is an excellent photo spot. It is super beautiful to take pictures in Miao costumes. If you have plenty of time, it is best to take night scenes at six or seven in the evening. At this time, the pavilions and pavilions are brightly lit, like a fairyland on earth.
7. Gage Ancient Road:
Gage Ancient Road, which means the small alleys in Miao Village, there are many Miao characteristic handicrafts and local specialties in Southeast Guizhou in the alleys, and you can also experience non-heritage cultural items such as papermaking and batik.
Gage Ancient Road Lane is narrow and tall, with colorful paper umbrellas hanging on the top of the head, which is particularly gorgeous and eye-catching against the black stilted buildings. The lights come on in the evening, setting off the ancient Gage Road beautifully. Taking low-angle photos here, people look beautiful and have long legs.
8. Pastoral sightseeing area:
Autumn is the harvest season. The terraced fields are dyed golden yellow, and layers of terraced fields are spread all over the hills. Wearing Miao clothes to take pictures on the terraced fields is beautiful no matter what you take.
The pastoral sightseeing area covers an area of more than 400 mu. The land here is fertile and the water is sufficient, which is suitable for growing rice. The ancestor of the Miao people’s terraced field construction was Jiang Yang. The Miao people first looked at the water source and flow direction, and opened fields under the water source so that they could fetch water to irrigate the fields at any time.
9. Xijiang Miao World:
Xijiang Miao World, also known as Xijiang Culture and Art Base, integrates a large-scale performing arts theater, Miao Museum, Miao medicine health care center, cultural theme hotel, famous art creation hall, Miao life experience street, Fengxiang square and bar street.
The Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village has a north gate and a west gate. The north gate is the front of the scenic spot, where the mountains and rivers and the twelve gates of wine are located; the gate of the Xijiang Miao community in the west gate is a photo spot for Internet celebrities. The huge Miao headdress is very eye-catching. It is very eye-catching during the day. I don't feel much, taking pictures at night when the lights are on, it's really beautiful.
Qiandongnan Cuisine
When I think of Qiandongnan cuisine, my mouth is watering. When I first arrive, I must taste the table banquet of the Miao parents and feel the enthusiasm and traditional toasting customs of the Miao family. Sour soup fish and yellow beef are a perfect match, zheer root fried bacon has a unique taste, and Guzang meat is boiled pork belly in white water.
All over the world is the highest etiquette for the Miao people to welcome guests. Different from mountains and rivers, there are nine Miao sisters in five lakes and four seas, five on one side and four on the other. The rice wine brewed by the Miao family is very sweet, but the rice wine is poured continuously to ensure that you can drink it Doubt about life.
1. Fish in sour soup:
The sour soup is made of naturally fermented rice soup as the soup base, and is boiled with ingredients such as bad pepper, tomato, and wood ginger. The fish in sour soup is sour, spicy and delicious. The sour taste is soft and not choking, which makes people appetite. The rice flower fish boiled in sour soup is particularly fresh and tender, and the meat is smooth and has no fishy smell. We highly recommend the yellow beef with skin. It is especially delicious when cooked in sour soup. It is sour and chewy and goes well with rice.
2. Stir-fried bacon with folded ears:
The local Miao people like to eat zheergen, which is used in cold dishes or fried bacon. It has reached the point of eating every meal. Zheergen is Houttuynia cordata. People in Guizhou like to eat the root of Zheergen, and other places like to eat it with leafy vegetables. The taste of zheergen is a bit strange, and the bacon made of black-haired pig is sweet and chewy, and it tastes first-class when served with wine!
3. Drum Tibetan meat:
Guzang meat is boiled pork belly, which is a hard dish for the Miao people to celebrate the Guzang Festival, implying "gold and silver wealth". The boiled black hair pork is big and looks fatty. I like to boil it in sour soup and eat it with sauce.
4. Pan-fried Rice Flower Fish:
In order to improve the utilization rate of rice fields, the Miao people stock rice flower fish in the terraced fields. The fish swim in the fields, eat grass and defecate, and play the role of rice strong and fish fat. The rice flower fish is fried golden and fragrant, and the fish is tender and fragrant. I especially like it.
5. Yellow cake:
Huang Gaoba is a special snack in Guizhou. Glutinous rice and brown sugar are wrapped in zongba leaves. The portion is small and delicate, just one bite at a time. The local Miao people especially like to eat glutinous rice, and they can also make colorful glutinous rice, but unfortunately I didn't eat it this time.
