Langde Miao Village

Our visit to a Miao minority village in Guizhou was a fascinating experience that allowed us to immerse ourselves in the rich culture and traditions of this ancient community. We were especially intrigued by the stunning Miao dresses that we saw, which were intricately embroidered and adorned with silver jewelry. Serena was particularly taken with the dresses, and she decided to rent a local costume for our visit. As she posed for photos on the village square, she looked like a true Miao princess, with her dress and jewelry shimmering in the sunlight. But our visit was about more than just admiring the beauty of the Miao dresses. We also had the opportunity to learn about the history, culture, and customs of the Miao people. We were fascinated by the community's unique architecture, which included stilt houses and wooden bridges. We also learned about the Miao's rich tradition of embroidery, which has been passed down through generations of women. Overall, our visit to the Miao minority village in Guizhou was a truly enriching experience that left us with a deep appreciation for the beauty and richness of this ancient culture. We highly recommend it to anyone seeking an authentic and enlightening cultural experience.

While touring through Guizhou, we visited a lot of different Miao Villages, but there is one that really seems to stand out in my mind: Langde. During our stay, it wasn't packed with tourists, and there are actually two parts of the village that you can explore - the upper and the lower part. We received a really warm welcome from the local villagers - a procession of musicians and small cups filled with rice wine as you enter the grounds of the village; followed by a performance of local song and dance. Following this warm welcome, we were left to our own devices to wander - without a doubt it is a quiet village, where local culture and traditions are kept alive by those still living there.
