Kaili Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)

Kaili City in Guizhou Province is located on the banks of the Qingshui River, boasting a historic ancient town

🏨 Xiashi Ancient Town ❤ Recommended Reason: Xiashi is not only stunning at night, but the 600-year-old buildings are also incredibly photogenic during the day! Xiashi Ancient Town is situated in Kaili City, Guizhou Province, nestled on the banks of the Qingshui River. This ancient town has a long history that dates back to the Ming Dynasty. 🌟 Highlights: As an important commercial port in the southeastern region of Guizhou, Xiashi Ancient Town was once the economic, cultural, and transportation center of southeastern Guizhou. The town's architecture is unique and quaint, resembling a vivid ink painting! 🗓 Itinerary: 1. Drum Tower: This is a common sight in Dong villages, and surprisingly, there's such a structure at Kaili South Station! It's usually used for meetings and dancing, and the dome is quite beautiful! You can take photos from different angles! 2. Xizi Tower: A place where scholars in ancient times used to burn paper, with a small inverted U-shaped door for placing the paper! 3. Yangming Academy: The most rewarding part of the trip! The entire academy interprets the life of Wang Yangming from birth to death in five stages of 'realization'. His ups and downs, changes in thought, personality, hobbies, and character are vividly depicted on paper, truly dynamic! 4. Conscience Bridge The bridge surface is more complex and grand. There's also another bridge called the Connected Hearts Bridge, both ancient and single-arched. 5. Lusheng Square: A place where locals dance and sing, and also a large square for gatherings and performances, with an ancient stage (reportedly filmed by CCTV), and Western-style buildings – the old post office, connected to the ancient street, with vendors' calls echoing! 6. Yuwang Palace: Actually, it's the former site of the Two Lakes Guild Hall, and the wood carvings inside are stunning, especially the wood carving with its two claws suspended in the air! Moreover, the origin of the Xiashi dog is introduced inside, which is quite interesting. You can also visit the Zhejiang Guild Hall, which houses many coins from the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China! 7. Guangdong Guild Hall: Grand and splendid, it's said to have a very large stage inside, but it was not open today. The exterior walls are very beautiful, all patterned, and from the side, it looks like a 'convex' character. It's said that a lot of silver dollars were spent on its construction, not something ordinary people could afford! 🍽 Dining Recommendations: Of course, there are also docks and some other buildings worth checking out! There are two restaurants recommended inside, one is Yang Dog Restaurant (owner's name), where I ordered a beef hotpot, which was very generous! Then there's Xiashi Taste across the street, where I had 'chicken rice', which is actually smoked chicken porridge haha, both very affordable and delicious. 👍 Most Recommended: Besides the architecture, you can also capture the local culture, framing the streets and residents together, which really brings out the flavor of the old street!

There are more than 2,100 people in the Lisha people, which is a branch of the black scorpion. It is said to be the descendant of the third son of Chiyou. Their ancestors fled to settle here, and the hardships and beliefs made them unique. The people of Zhangsha worship the forest and think that the soul of the ancestors is attached to the tree. As a result, rare species that have grown for hundreds of years can be found everywhere in the village. In order to protect the forest, the ancestors set the rules, and the man had to keep a long hair on his head. The Shasha man loves to arm, and he will bring a waist knife and a shotgun when he goes out. In order to respect their customs, the relevant departments approved a special approval to allow each of the sands men to have a shotgun. But how many mysterious stories are there in the sands, no one can make it clear... Men carry seven pieces of equipment: firearms, wine cellars, machete, pipe, gunpowder gourd, purse, flower bag, After pondering, this equipment can be regarded as just having softness. The flower bag is probably sent by the sweetheart, and the combination of embroidery and dyeing is quite fine. The gun was squatting on the shoulder, the flower bag was slanting back, and the other equipment of the wine cellar machete was neatly hung on the waistband of the belt; wearing a black high-waisted coat with a rounded copper buckle on the left and right, a large trousers with straight legs, and a pair of big feet; Resolute and generous, holding the vertebrae on the top of his head, wrapped around a strip of headscarf, and escaped from a Warring States warrior.

Look at the pavement made of stone and cobblestones. There is a piece of stone wall made of bluestone on the roadside. There is no cement mortar, it is all by stone, and it is as natural as a rock. The wooden shacks are a patchwork of wooden shacks, lined up in the green hills halfway up the mountain. There are no crowds, some are just a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. There are several inns in the village, and the village is completely local. In the place of life, the villagers enjoyed the afternoon leisurely.

The Nanhua Miao Village, not far from the Langde Miao Village, is built on the hillside, and the hanging feet are layered on top of each other, nestled among the lush forests. At this time, Miao Village can see the Hmong people who work hard and the original Miao customs, as well as the landscape of the pastoral scenery! In fact, Nanhua Miao Village and Langde Miao Village are the first batch of stockades to develop tourism, but now Xijiang Miao Village has far more fame than them. There are fewer and fewer tourists coming here, and many tourists are slowly forgetting. This beautiful little stockade, but also let this stockade return to the strong Miao nationality. is a little smaller than Langde Miao Village, there are not many buildings, all built on the mountain, the air is fresh, in Nanhua Miao Village, most of the young and middle-aged are going out to work, leaving only a little older Old people and children, they are farming at home, self-sufficient, like to see how they work in front of their own home, more real and meaningful. There is basically no tourist in Nanhua, and there is no commercialization. The whole village is particularly quiet.

Although he is not as old as the Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village, he has a profound original Miao culture. It is also because of the current life of the Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village in 2008, which has made the South Huamiao Village, which used to be a busy city, gradually forgotten.
