Miao Wang City: Seeking the Most Beautiful Nostalgia in Spring

Miao Wang City is located in Xinzhai Village, Songtao County, Tongren City, with a long history. It has been managed by dozens of Miao kings since the Ming Dynasty, and now has a history of more than 600 years. It is the only well-preserved ancient Miao fortress in the southwestern region that integrates politics, economy, culture, military, and architecture. Miao Wang City covers an area of ten square kilometers. Based on the mountain shape and water potential, there are six ancient military fortresses built in front and back. Inside the ancient fortress, there are eleven lanes, and within the lanes, there are eleven fortress gates to resist foreign enemies. The stilted buildings in the fortress are typical of Miao family characteristics, and the crooked paths are a unique architectural style of the ancient fortress. The Awakening of Insects has passed, and all things are reviving. The gentle spring rain nourishes the mountains and the earth. For a time, the ethereal and pleasant sound of birdsong, the rustling of insects, the rustling of wind blowing through the leaves, and the sound of water flowing in mountain streams and valleys all play the symphony of nature. March is the perfect season to visit Miao Wang City for a spring outing. The river that flows through the fortress, the peculiar and precipitous cliffs, the dense forests, the elegant Miao-style wind and rain bridges, as well as the Miao women washing clothes by the river, the playful children, and the singing of Miao people working in the fields, create a dreamlike atmosphere for visitors, as if 'traveling in a painting' and merging with nature, returning to nature and to oneself in the landscape gallery of Miao Wang City. Miao Wang City combines mountains, water, caves, springs, waterfalls, canyons, forests, ancient trees, tea gardens, primitive villages, military lanes, and Miao customs into one. It is an ideal destination for tourism, vacation, leisure, and adventure, known as 'the first fortress in a thousand miles of Miao territory.' It is the famous hometown of Miao songs, Miao drums, folk stunts, and a film and television shooting base. In Miao Wang City, Miao girls in full silver dress will warmly sing card songs and perform the door-blocking ceremony, offering up the mellow Miao King rice wine. In the green-tiled wooden houses, the fragrant Miao family meals are served. Beside the spinning wheel, the old grandmother and the girl weaving flower belts speak the incomprehensible Miao dialect. The affectionate dark kerchief left on the handsome young man's face is the love of the kitchen smoke, and under the ancient tree, the frenzied entertainment of the gods is the spirited old Miao master. The bare-chested young men dance a strong and unrestrained drum dance. The rain in Miao Wang City has its own gentle character. It falls slowly and lasts long, with a touch of tenderness and a hint of vitality. In the drizzle, walking with an umbrella, strolling through the ancient streets, or sitting alone under the corridor, each is a scenery, beautiful enough to intoxicate the heart. The sky is blue, waiting for the misty rain, and in March, Miao Wang City is waiting for you. Tips: It is recommended to drive by yourself, as the journey is scenic.
