It takes about 3 hours to travel 220 kilometers from Xiaoqikong Scenic Area to Qianhu Miao Village in Xijiang. We arrived at the north gate of Miao Village Scenic Area around 8pm. At this time, several parking lots in the surrounding areas were basically full. The square is full of tourists dragging their luggage and carrying bags to enjoy the night view! It is said that it takes half an hour to take a sightseeing bus from the gate to the real village gate. I packed up my things in a hurry, only carried a backpack, and hurried to buy tickets, queue up, and rush to the observation deck
Miao The Wind and Rain Bridge in the Miao Village is the most beautiful scenery at night, with the lights reflecting each other and the shadows of the lights jumping on the river. There are seven such Wind and Rain Bridges in the Miao Village. The fourth and fifth bridges can be reached on foot from the top viewing platform. If you want to The only way to take the sightseeing bus is No. 1 Bridge
We were not familiar with the road conditions at night, so we chose to take a ride up the mountain. In the car, a Northeastern woman was video chatting with a friend: Guess where we are? Jiangxi Miao Village! "Huh? It made me feel a little dazed. I didn't know where I was. The sightseeing bus went uphill all the way, and we arrived at the observation deck in about ten minutes.
At this time, the Miao village had turned into lights. In the ocean, you can see the shape of the cow's head in the Miao Village. However, if you want to avoid the crowds, it is still difficult to find a better angle to take pictures of this beautiful scenery
So we decided decisively. Check into the inn next door, have some wine and dinner before viewing the view
This decision is not too wise. Later, the inn owner told us that her rooftop balcony is five or six meters higher than the observation deck. , is the best place for viewing
The most beautiful moment is the bright night, which belongs to the beauty of the deep mountains. The stars of thousands of households dot the entire Miao village. This is the direction of home. It is a yearning for happiness...
After the bustle of the evening, the village returns to calm in the morning. Looking at the Miao village from a distance, it looks like an ink painting in the mist.
At this time, there were no endless tourists on the street, so I was walking leisurely by myself, enjoying the tranquility of the morning...
The paths, cooking smoke, and fields formed a tranquil pastoral painting< /p>
After waiting for time, it was almost time for my husband to get up, so I slowly walked back to the inn and enjoyed the quiet time in the Miao village with him
Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village is a place where the Miao people are preserved. A place with a complete "original ecology" culture, it is composed of more than 10 natural villages built on the mountain. It is currently the largest Miao village in China and even the world. The Baishui River divides the Miao village into two, with a commercial street on one side. On one side is an inn and a viewing platform overlooking the village
The Diaojiaolou is a unique traditional building of the Miao people. The second half is built on a steep hillside, and the front half is supported by wooden pillars to form a stilted building. columns, so it is called "diaojiaolou"
We followed the bluestone path from the inn, crossed the Fengyu Bridge, and came to the ancient commercial street
These are all small stores. , like many ancient towns, is full of commercial atmosphere, but those stilt-style wooden houses still retain the characteristics of the Miao family
Lusheng Square, a place where singing and dancing are performed during various festival celebrations, has now become a place for me. The stage
Opposite the square is the Xijiang Miao Museum, which is the most comprehensive place to introduce Miao culture
The museum looks like a stilted building and has 11 exhibition halls.
Including the Living Customs Hall, the Miao Medicine and Miao Medicine Hall, the Silver Jewelry and Clothing Hall, etc.
Going out from the museum is the entrance to Yedong Village. There is a sign indicating that Guzangtou’s house is located at the highest point on the top of the mountain
< p>The "Huo Lutou" house is said to be the Miao Village's "Minister of Agriculture" who presides over the arrangements for agricultural productionThe road to Guzangtou's house is all uphill, and it's really hard to do it if you don't have enough physical strength

The current drum head is called Tang Shoucheng, also known as the "King of Miao". He is about 50 years old and is responsible for the Miao sacrifices and the care of the bronze sacred drum, which is the drum in the drum hall. He is not only a Miao Living history and also a primary school teacher
Farmer painter Li Yufu is a veteran and one of the representatives of the new culture of the Miao family. Perhaps because he has the same military experience and has a special emotion, I focused on visiting his home
His paintings are very realistic, and there is a long table banquet at home
I like to walk into these hillside lanes and see the original Miao village People, feel such simplicity. In fact, this is the purest thing in Miao Village. There is a tranquility without competition in these stilted buildings, which makes you yearn for...
Some graffiti will make people see it. Bright, the pictures are all very ethnic.
After going around a circle and going down the mountain, we arrived at the ancient street. Along the river is a snack street. Look: this is the Miao special food featured in "A Bite of China" - Mao Tofu
Mao Tofu is made through artificial fermentation, so that a layer of white hair grows on the surface of the tofu. Since tofu is fermented to convert the plant protein into a variety of amino acids, it tastes quite fresh after cooking
There is also my favorite bacon, which I must order for almost every meal after arriving in Guizhou
There are two ethnic song and dance programs "Beautiful Xijiang" performed by local Miao compatriots at the performance venue every day. The morning show started in half an hour, so we walked to the performance venue while eating
The performance is very local. The gorgeous costumes, cheerful songs and dances and beautiful love stories can make you better understand the humanistic customs of the Miao people
The song and dance performance lasts for half an hour, and ends with the chorus "I Love Mine" "Motherland" comes to a successful conclusion!
If you ask me what Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village is like, Mr. Yu Qiuyu commented like this: "Answer everything with beauty, look at Xijiang and know the world's Miao Village"!
