Xiaoqikong and Basha Miao Village showcase the natural charm of the area

Wandering through the emerald waters and green forests of Xiaoqikong, and visiting the mountainous dwellings of Basha Miao Village, the scenery along the way naturally becomes a paradise for photography enthusiasts. There is no need to search deliberately; every corner is a perfect landscape painting. This place is not only a beautiful sight in Guizhou but also a vivid imprint of the culture of China's ethnic minorities. Basha Miao Village is known as China's last 'gun-carrying tribe.' It is a small mountain village located in Congjiang County of Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture in Guizhou Province, with a history of over six hundred years. Basha Miao Village is famous for preserving the traditional hunting rifle culture. The male residents here all possess homemade black powder guns, which are not only tools for hunting but also an important symbol of Miao culture.
