Here is the ultimate guide to the world's largest Miao settlement in Guizhou
🏯 Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village, the world's largest Miao settlement‼️ Located in Leishan County, Qiandongnan Prefecture, Guizhou, more than a thousand wooden stilted buildings are built along the mountainside, presenting a spectacular view. Many people say it's too commercialized, but it's also the place where the ancient Miao culture is best preserved. The contradiction between commercial convenience and original ecology is always there. In fact, if you avoid holidays and crowds, the experience and cost-effectiveness are still pretty good✅
💙Travel Tips: Qianhu Miao Village has two entrances, the west gate is on the mountain, and the north gate is at the foot of the mountain, where you can experience the highest Miao etiquette of twelve courses of blocking wine✅
🔷Due to the terrain in Guizhou, it's normal to go up and down. A river runs through the entire village, connected by a wind and rain bridge. If you're short on time, it's more appropriate to play along the river. If you have good physical strength and plenty of time, the various alleys in the village are the essence✅
🌟Recommended spots:
1️⃣Wind and Rain Bridges, there are a total of seven wind and rain bridges in Xijiang Miao Village, among which
No. 1, No. 3, and No. 5 wind and rain bridges are popular check-in spots✅
2️⃣Viewing platform, where you can take panoramic photos of the Miao Village, especially beautiful at night. It's recommended to bring a professional camera, as the effect on a phone is quite average✅
3️⃣Terraced fields and nearby rural scenery, spring's rapeseed flowers, summer's green wheat, children playing by the river, and barbecues set up directly in the middle of the river✅
4️⃣Ancient Street, the main street running through the Miao Village, lined with shops, Miao family museums, and most performances take place on this street✅
5️⃣Ga Ge Ancient Alley, in Miao language means a small alley in the Miao Village, with live cultural displays such as ancient song singing, love song duets, Miao embroidery heritage sites, silver jewelry making, rice wine brewing, etc. Walking into the ancient alley with an oil-paper umbrella makes for especially good photos✅
6️⃣Renting ethnic costumes for photos is also a must-do for the ladies. It's possible to shop around and bargain✅
🍱Food: Sour soup fish, bamboo tube rice and glutinous rice, handmade rice cakes, potato cakes, black pork skewers, pickled spicy fish, farmhouse tofu, specialty smoked sausages and smoked meat, and roasted pig's feet, etc.✅
🎫Ticket: 110 yuan💰 (including 4 electric car rides within the scenic area) More than 4 times is 5 yuan/ride✅
🚇Public Transport: Take the high-speed train or train🚞 to Kaili South Station, next to which there is a bus station that can take you directly to Xijiang Miao Village Scenic Area✅
🏠Accommodation: There are various options in the Miao Village during the off-season, and the cost-effectiveness is also very high. Everyone can choose according to their needs✅
⚠️Due to work, I have lived in Guiyang for a few years and have been to the Miao Village 3️⃣ times, with pictures from both spring and summer. Personally, I think it's worth a visit and suitable for a leisurely tour😀
Go to Qianhu Miao Village, feel the charm and depth of Miao culture! Watch the lights of thousands of homes, feel the waterfall of the Krypton River! Step across the wind and rain bridge and watch the small river fall! Smell the flying song of the reeds and enjoy the beautiful dance of the Miao girl!
Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village is a scenic spot with ethnic characteristics. The hanging foot building built on the mountain is very magnificent, with clean stone roads, flowing water, tree-lined trees, and constant flowers. It is worth visiting. Especially the night view, the lights are shining, the dazzling psychedelic, like the world in a fairy tale.
Of course, the Miao Village is going to Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village to see. There are still quite a lot of tourists. Most of them love to take pictures and are more commercial, but the night view is really not to say, it is worth seeing.
A particularly satisfying homestay experience. First of all, the location is quite good. On the mountainside of the river, you can overlook the panoramic view of Miao Village in the room. It is not far from the ancient town from the small road. But Guizhou is a high and low mountain road, not suitable for elderly people with bad legs. Secondly, the butler service of several little brothers and beautiful women in the hotel is particularly friendly and comfortable. They take the initiative to pick you up and pull your luggage. If you have nothing to do, you will lead the way for fear that you will lose it. The afternoon tea is very generous and the coffee is delicious. If you like to take pictures, the Miao costumes provided by the hotel are really fragrant, new and beautiful, and there are children, you can parent-child.
Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village: It starts with the value of the style in the history of the big waves in the sand, because the wisdom and creation of the Miao people, the beauty of Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village can be preserved, and it has given her more charming human charm. Today, with tourism development and national history and culture research, the beauty of Qianhu Miao Village is also extended and expanded in viewing, as Yu Qiuyu's evaluation of her - "Answer everything with beauty".
The Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village Scenic Area is really well-deserved, with a sea of people from morning to night. The scenic area is very large, and the scenery is photographed during the day. The night in Miao Village at night is more beautiful. The viewing platform is full of people with their heads swirling and flashing lights and constantly shooting night scenes. The commercial atmosphere of the scenic spot is strong, and there are many dining and shopping. Ticket prices are a bit expensive. Overall praise.
Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village is really beautiful. It was raining during May 1st. I thought the weather was bad and I couldn't see a good scenery. I didn't expect it to surprise me! How to come: From the Kaili South High-speed Railway Station, there is a direct bus to the scenic spot on the right side of the station (it was only found that luggage can be stored), the fare is 35 yuan, you can choose the west gate or the north gate. How to return: at the north gate exit, go down the stairs to the right hand bus station to the high-speed rail Kaili South Station. The fare is the same as 35 yuan. How to play: I entered from the west gate and exited from the north gate (actually found that there are more activities in the north gate than the west gate), and only took two sightseeing buses throughout the whole journey. Others chose to walk directly because there were too many queues! The advantage of Ximen is that the sightseeing car is not long after getting off the bus, and you can go to the observation deck to watch the whole Miao Village panoramic view! The observation deck goes downhill and goes straight to the No. 1 Wind and Rain Bridge. Follow the Baishui River (1234567 Wind and Rain Bridge) and you can go to Xiaoximen, and then take a sightseeing bus to the North Gate. The route I play is the most scenic spot and the simplest route. The whole journey is about 3 hours and you can see the most classic scenery of Miao Village. If you still have time, you can climb the mountain to see other scenery.
The photos are very good, the characters wear Miao costumes and makeup is very nice; the overall Miao Village village and the distant mountains and sky clouds are very fairy. It is quite important to live in a good hotel. Since we live on a hillside, it feels like going down the mountain and then going up the mountain to take pictures, but the scenery on the hillside is very good. Everyone chooses it for yourself. ~
