Xijiang is to Guizhou what Lijiang is to Yunnan. In the depths of the vast Leigong Mountains, the long years have created Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village, an ancient village with vicissitudes that is integrated with nature. It is a symbol of Southeast Guizhou. If you haven’t been to Qianhu Miao Village in Xijiang, this guide will give you the willfulness to go as soon as you say it, and take you from day to night to understand the beauty of Xijiang.

In the early morning, the Miao village gradually wakes up in the twilight. The sun shines through the clouds and sprinkles on the valley, the roof of the stilted buildings, the stone street and the Baishui River, making the whole village bathed in golden, cool and warm. There is still mist in the distant mountains and valleys, and the stacked stilted buildings seem to have become deep and shallow silhouettes. Scattered Miao people are preparing to open their doors, and some young wives with children on their backs are making breakfast. Cooking smoke slowly rises above the houses, looking from a distance, it is "warm and distant village, smoke in Yiyixu".

This is a gift for early risers. When you check in, find an inn with a view, especially the one on the hillside. Get up in the morning and lie in front of the window to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Xijiang River surrounded by clouds and sunshine. Hu Miao village is prosperous. Walking around the village along Shiban Street, you will find the most primitive Miao village without the noise of tourists.

At three poles in the sun, twelve bars of wine were set up at the north gate of the village, and the melodious singing of reeds came from the village, and the village gradually became lively. In order to avoid the harshness of the sun, you can get into the hidden ancient alleys, learn Miao embroidery, make silver ornaments, make glutinous rice cakes, make batik, eat long table banquets, drink high mountain water, and wear Miao clothes to truly be a Miao family. In the evening, take advantage of the afterglow of the sun to go to the idyllic sightseeing area to see the beautiful scenery of terraced fields, experience the fun of fishing in rice fields, and then find an open restaurant to enjoy a delicious dinner under the sunset.

The night view of Miao Village is a must. When night falls, the whole Miao Village is full of wine and food, and the lights of thousands of families begin to spread from the shops at the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. The sound of reeds can be heard faintly in the air, and the desolate and gloomy ancient songs of the Miao nationality can be heard from the performance stage in the distance. Many people choose to go to the viewing platform on the mountain to watch the night view, which can be reached directly by sightseeing bus from No. 1 Fengyu Bridge, but as a check-in point, it is usually overcrowded. Secretly tell you, in fact, the best viewing spots are the restaurants below the viewing platform and the roadside approaching the viewing platform.

After watching the night scene, you can also go to the folk song and dance performance venue between No. 3 and No. 4 Fengyu Bridge to watch the Xijiang original ecological song and dance performance "Beautiful Xijiang". The Miao people really love to drink, and they opened the official performance with a domineering high mountain and flowing water. Whether it is a folk song and dance or an instrumental music performance, it is full of strong Miao customs.
