On Friday, April 12, the weather was cloudy and the local temperature was 20-27 degrees.

The surrounding area of ​​the hotel is very quiet, there are not many guests staying, and they all fell asleep early. Woke up to the sound of birds chirping at dawn.

Breakfast is free, 10 yuan standard, a bowl of noodles, barely enough to eat.

At 8:50, drive to Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village.

At 9:04, get on the expressway at the Qingyan toll station. There are basically no cars on the highway, and it is a bit foggy on cloudy days, but it does not affect driving.

At 11:23, we arrived at the Xijiang toll station, and the ETC deducted 110 yuan.

Walking a section of mountain road, single lane, there is a bus in front of the road, unable to overtake the car, and the speed is relatively slow.

At 11:39, we arrived at the North Gate parking lot.


There is a small square between the parking lot and the ticket gate and the gate of the scenic spot. Two lines of Miao costumes are lined up to welcome tourists. At the beginning are a few old men, holding musical instruments, playing and playing; in the back row are old ladies, swaying to the music; Tourists toast.

Bypass from the side, go to the self-service machine in the ticket hall, and swipe your ID card to pick up the ticket (online booking, 10 yuan per person for sightseeing tickets).

On the right side of the gate, the sightseeing bus is waiting for the bus, get on the bus and leave. There is a walking path built on the side of the main road, and you can walk into the Miao Village.

The sightseeing car runs for less than 3 minutes and reaches the end point, which is the real gate of Miao Village.

It was exactly 12 noon.

The street is not wide, with running water on one side and shops on the other. Local vehicles can enter and exit at will, and individual vehicles are very fast.

There is a soup dumpling shop in Miao Village here. I bought two baskets of soup dumplings and soy milk for lunch, and it only cost 26 yuan.

There are six wind and rain bridges along the river, connecting with the opposite side. On the opposite bank, the buildings along the mountainside and along the river are all in the style of Diaojiaolou. It's not a restaurant, it's a hotel.

Xijiang Miao Village has been fully commercialized.

The terrain here is relatively flat, and there are relatively more buildings. The main road is built along the river, and the Miao Village has a long and irregular layout.

After passing the No. 5 Fengyu Bridge, there is a street of snacks, and the smell of gutter oil can be smelled from a long distance, and the sanitary conditions are not flattering.

Follow the signs and go to the museum.

There is a long table banquet along the road, I don't know how much it costs.

The museum is free to visit, and there are free guides to give systematic explanations. After following the tour guide for less than half an hour, I was able to systematically understand the humanities and history of the Miao Village and the Miao Nationality.

"Four 120" of Miao nationality:

According to the tour guide, if the tribe breaks the precepts, they will be punished with "four 120".

Without rules, nothing can be achieved; it is precisely with such strict punishments that the harmonious coexistence and common development of the Miao people are guaranteed.

Although it is a quick tour, the museum is still worth a visit.

Come out of the museum and continue to move forward. At 13:30, we arrived at the observation station at the entrance of the village. There are a lot of tourists queuing up, but the sightseeing bus leaves when it is full, and the queuing time is not long.

The sightseeing car went up all the way, and the speed was very fast. It took more than 2 minutes to reach the viewing platform.

There is a small platform here, and you can overlook the buildings on the opposite side of the mountain. It is said that the night view is very beautiful.

There are many service points for renting out seedling outfits to take pictures, and the business is very good.

After staying here for less than 10 minutes, I took a sightseeing bus down the mountain.

Walking back along the river, it may be because it is upstream, the river is relatively clean.

It took less than 30 minutes to arrive at the north gate of Miao Village in less than 30 minutes from the time of getting off the sightseeing bus.

It was 2:30 in the afternoon, and there were more tourists waiting in line at the sightseeing station.

It may be due to the off-season of tourism. There are people on duty at the ticket gate, but there are no service personnel from the waiting area to the boarding point.

Everyone is scrambling to get on the bus, especially the older men and women, trying to squeeze forward, lest they can't get on the bus; in fact, a sightseeing bus comes every few minutes.

At 2:50 p.m., depart from the parking lot (parking fee is 12 yuan) and go to Huaihua, Hunan.

After driving along the mountain road for less than 10 minutes, we entered the Xijiang Toll Station.

There are few vehicles on the expressway, and the mountain road is still winding.

At 4:45 p.m., arrive at the Dalong Toll Station (the junction of Guizhou and Hunan), and the ETC will deduct 95 yuan.

At 5:56 p.m., I arrived at the Huaihua toll station, and the ETC deducted 56.5 yuan.

Walking on a suburban road, there are many vehicles; after entering the urban area, there are many vehicles and the speed is slow.

At 18:30, arrive at the scheduled City Garden Hotel.

After check-in, go to the small restaurant next to the hotel for dinner.

The store is small, the quality of the dishes is good, and the price is cheap. Dinner consumption is 93 yuan.

summary:

Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village has been completely commercialized, only the stilted buildings of the Miao Village still have some characteristics. Came once, will not come a second time.

The sightseeing car takes a ride, and the ticket is 5 yuan per person. There is only a section from the entrance of the tourist center of the scenic spot to the gate of the Miao Village, plus a section from the entrance of the Miao Village to the viewing platform. If you book online, you will get a discount of 10 yuan per person for four car rides (round trip). Buy tickets from the visitor center, all four rides are 20 yuan per person.

The parking lot charges are quite reasonable, with a maximum cap of 30 yuan a day.
