Guizhou Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village
The group of friends said: It seems to have seen the rivers and lakes in a dream.
In the distance, the blue clouds are curling, and the mountains are overlapping,
People hide between layers of buildings, seemingly close but not far away,
It's like the opening plot of a martial arts novel.
It takes six hours to take the high-speed train from Guangzhou to Kaili High-speed Railway Station. I bought the first high-speed train, and the car was chaotic and lethargic. Regardless of the imagination of Kaili or Xijiang, it is an old town, but when you get off the high-speed rail station, you will be attracted by the noisy cherry blossoms in front of Kaili station.
First Encounter·Miao Family Rivers and Lakes
The bus stop for Qianhu Miao Village in Xijiang is next to the high-speed rail station. After lunch, I bought a package ticket for the village (ticket + ticket + shuttle bus), and arrived at the gate of Miao Village after a two-hour drive. It was particularly fortunate that it happened to be performance time, and the elders of the Miao family gave the welcome wine first, and then went to ask the girls of the Miao family to beg for drinks, and most of them were drunk before entering the door.
There is a shuttle bus when you enter the door. The owner of the homestay who picks up the guests is already waiting at the drop-off point with a pole. Stop and go, eat and drink, the supporting facilities of Qianhu Miao Village in Xijiang are very mature, but the prices are not very expensive (compared to other scenic spots).
The stockade is built along the river, and walking along the river can almost run through the entire stockade. Friends can rent a set of Miaojia clothing for 20-30 yuan, and stand by the river to take pictures. On both sides of the river are shops for eating or selling souvenirs, but they are not the same. The main street tends to be a snack street, and the small road across the river is more of a stall selling silver jewelry.
Standing in the middle of the bridge is another look. What is particularly interesting is that where the two geese stand obediently, the shop next to it is called: The Story of Two Gooses (I didn’t enter the shop, I don’t know the taste).
On the way, I met a restaurant with a Miao family style, and chatted with a group of like-minded friends. I was very happy and always met some small surprises.
Image · Pastoral Reflection
Walking along the main street to the end, you can see a paddy field. The blue sky, white clouds, and hills are all reflected in the paddy field. Layers of bright colors are like oil paintings in an art gallery.
Miao Banquet·High Mountain and Flowing Water
In Miao Village, you must experience the "high mountains and flowing water" Miao family feast, which is very special. How about a special method, hee hee, wait for you to experience it yourself, it is guaranteed to be unforgettable.
Evening and early lanterns
Walking and walking, we came to the beginning of the Hua Deng, and the Miao Village in the evening has its own flavor. There are shops selling specialties on the street, and you can taste them all the way, not to mention, they are really delicious. Especially recommended is the ancient alley at night: Gage Ancient Alley, there is a breeze blowing at night, and occasionally girls wearing Miao costumes pass by.
It's Night·Lights of Thousands of Houses
You must spend the night in Qianhu Miao Village in Xijiang. Only when you are in the thousands of lights, you will be moved. The ticket includes the fee for the shuttle bus. Get on the bus at the shuttle bus point next to the field, and drive all the way to the top of the mountain in the night. What you see is the lights of Wanjia.
Night Market·Food Dignity
After watching Wanjia lights, you must be hungry, right! ! ! Take a look at the snack street night market~
In the evening, besides watching the illuminated mountain top, the most lively place is the snack night market. The young friends with super combat effectiveness in vain come down all the way, and one mouth for each person is simply not enough.
Morning Suowan Noodles
Wake up early and listen to the birdsong, temporarily put aside the troubles of work, stand on the platform and have a bird's-eye view of the stockade, and then go to the small shop by the roadside to drink a bowl of noodles. A beautiful day begins full of energy!
Ancient Village · Treasure Hunting
Take the map given by the proprietress of the homestay to explore the treasures in the ancient village!
There are also many treasures in Dongzhai, such as the leader's house, Guzangtang, intangible cultural heritage: batik and Prince Charming. The scenery along the way is also very beautiful.

Folk Customs Miao Singing and Dance
The most conscientious thing is the large-scale Miao singing and dancing show around 11:00 (seems) every morning. You can enter the venue with your ticket and ID card. If you go early, you can grab a good seat in the front row.
It's really big, and it feels like half the village has been mobilized, including the older brothers and younger sisters of the Miao family, as well as the energetic old people singing the folk songs of the Miao family.
Friends who have watched the show can go to the small river to rent a set of traditional Miao village costumes (there are styles for boys and girls) and take a group photo with the ancient Miao village!
Cheats·Gourmet Sniper
As the soul representative of the food industry, in order to show respect for Miao Village in Guizhou, of course, open three stomachs to experience the food. Come, come, friends of Guizhou gourmet to find out!
