Leishan Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
You should visit Guizhou at least once, and experience the day and night of the Qianhu Miao Village!!
It turns out that the off-season is the correct way to visit the Qianhu Miao Village of Xijiang❗️||🏠Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village
🚗About transportation:
Take the high-speed rail to Kaili South Station!
❗️There is a bus ticket office on the left side of the high-speed rail station: 18/person (but there is a timetable, it seems to be one and a half hours)
❗️If the departure time is close to the departure time, then I strongly recommend taking the bus! There is really no need to take a black car, the bus can directly send to the west gate or north gate, both gates will stop
-
🚪About which door to enter:
Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village has two gates, west gate and north gate
I sincerely recommend going in and out of the north gate
Because the west gate must go through a commercial street that lasts for seven or eight minutes,
The commercial street is really really very⬇️ Head
If you are dragging a suitcase, it is even more difficult
-
🚌About sightseeing car:
After entering the scenic area, you have to take a sightseeing car to enter the village
I can only say that the money that should be spent still has to be spent
-
🏘️About accommodation:
Accommodation is not recommended! The best view is with a balcony
If there are not too many requirements, it is enough to suggest halfway up the mountain
Living too high is really really hard to climb
-
🍽️About eating:
For friends who come to Guizhou for the first time, I recommend sour soup beef or local stir-fry
-
📝Note tips:
There are really few people going in the off-season
Accommodation and eating are relatively convenient
It is best to find a sunny day to go
The experience on a rainy day should not be too good
The village is quite commercial, but I personally think it is very beautiful and worth it! The stilted buildings are very beautiful and the photos are very good. It is a good choice to go on a sunny day for a weekend. It is not as unbearable as the Internet says
There will be some performances at a fixed time
Try to bring as little luggage as possible. It is really hard to walk with a suitcase on the road in the village. If there is really a lot of luggage, try to choose a homestay that can help with luggage
Remember to wear a pair of comfortable shoes

Langde Miao Village Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
Langde Miao minority village in Guizhou
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.
Exploring Miao Culture in Guizhou
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.
Find it: Langde Miao Village, Leishan County, Guizhou, China

Michaela (@uncoveringcities) Langde Miao Village
Our story start from small city Kaili. It's located around 40-45 minutes drive from Langde Miao Vilage and it's the place where you can find few good hotels.
Langde Miao Village is old and authentic village of Miao people and they still leave there. Located between hills, next to small river it's amazing place to spend few hours. From the entrance gate you can walk or take shuttle bus. If you are lucky you will see typically Miao dance at main square inside of the village. You can also rent clothes and make some nice pictures for your social medias.
You should definitely put this place on your list and enjoy in nature and history.

Fengxiang Oil Painting Art Light Luxury Guesthouse Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
On the spring mountains of the Miao village, brew a pot of tea
The hotel is located on the hillside to the east of Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village, and from the hotel, you can see the entire mountain on the west side of the village. If you continue to climb up the mountain road, you can also visit the home of the Drum Zangtou (Miao King).
There is a fragrant maple tree at the entrance of the hotel, which is said to be covered with golden leaves in autumn, extremely bright and beautiful. Although it is early spring now, and most of the leaves are still withered, it does not prevent the sunlight from coming in another bright and beautiful manner—the setting sun in the afternoon will first cast its warmth onto the platform in front of the hotel, illuminating the red carpet, the wooden tables and chairs, and the railings. If you are willing to sit in the sunshine, brew a pot of rose tea, watch the sun move bit by bit, watch the halo undulate on the opposite hillside, and see the occasional faint smoke rising from the foot of the mountain, you will feel that time is not just passing by; it is also singing and painting while it flows. Such a scene requires one to experience it quietly.

Observation Deck Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
Southeast Guizhou|Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village|A beautiful home hidden deep in the mountains
It's getting cold, everyone is heading south, and Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village in the southwest may be the most popular tourist spot in Guizhou. It is known as the largest Miao settlement in the world, and the essence of the tour is listed below👇.
🚗Transportation strategy:
I drove here from Kaili, the road conditions are very good all the way, it is recommended to navigate to the west entrance area, there is a parking lot outside the Miao Village, after parking, walk to the scenic area to buy tickets. There is a large commercial street on the way to the ticket office, I didn't stroll around here with my luggage, I went directly to the homestay in the scenic area by electric car.
💰Ticket price: 90 per person, plus 20 yuan for the electric car ticket, you must stay inside to experience the essence of the Miao Village, I played with this ticket for three days, and did not come out in the middle.
🏰Attraction strategy:
😬First go to the viewing platform, there is an electric car directly to here at the entrance, the terrain here is relatively high, you can see the panoramic view of the Miao Village, the night view is better in the evening, it's a famous scene, there are also many bars in this area, find a place to sit at night , Watching the night view is very comfortable. During the day, you can walk down the hill from the hillside along the small road to the core commercial area. There are also many characteristic homestays and shops hidden in these small roads, which are suitable for deep travel and slow exploration.
😀During the day, the viewing platform can take an electric car to the No. 1 Wind and Rain Bridge in the east. From here, you can walk west along the Bai Shui River in the middle, and you can pass six Wind and Rain Bridges. Each one is worth checking in. The scenery is different. I think it is one of the most beautiful scenes in the Miao Village. You can refer to the position of my shooting, especially between the 5th and 6th Wind and Rain Bridges, it's very classic.
😀If you want to taste Miao special dishes, you can find a restaurant at will on the commercial street of Miao Village or by the Bai Shui River, there are all kinds of prices. If there is singing in the restaurant, it may invite you to experience "High Mountain and Running Water" (a team of Miao girls pour you wine).
😆The Lusheng Field in the center of the Miao Village is a large outdoor Miao stage, there are often free Miao group song and dance performances, highly recommended, you can sit in the audience for a long time. Not far to the east of it is the oldest Gaga Ancient Alley in the village, many characteristic shops are opened here.
😆The Miao Village is composed of several Miao villages, not just pure tourist attractions. Along the main street, you can also see schools, basketball courts, and you can stroll around in the village at will. There are characteristic stilt-style buildings everywhere, and this is the life of the Miao people.
😆At the easternmost part of the village is a large piece of farmland, which is highly recommended. Walking east from the No. 1 Wind and Rain Bridge is a large terraced field. Although terraced fields are common, the background is layers of stilt houses, and the scenery is picturesque. Regret if you don't come.
📌Small Tips: The Miao Village is very large, it is recommended to stay at least three days, slowly experience, the more you go up the mountain, the more primitive. The photo check-in position can refer to my picture.
Thousand Miao Village | Read this full guide to Thousand Miao Village | Super comprehensive
🏡 The Miao is one of the largest ethnic minorities in China. If you want to experience the Miao Village, then the Xijiang Thousand Miao Village in Guizhou is a must-visit. This place is known as the largest Miao settlement in the world. If you want to know the essence of the tour, then keep this guide 👇.
🚗 Transportation guide:
1. Airplane: You can first take a plane to Guiyang, then take a car from Guiyang to Kaili, and finally take a car from Kaili to Thousand Miao Village.
2. Train: You can take a train to Kaili Railway Station, and then take a car from Kaili Railway Station to Thousand Miao Village.
3. Car: You can take a bus from Guiyang, Kaili, Leishan and other places to Thousand Miao Village.
I drove here, the road conditions are very good, it is recommended to stop at the west entrance area, there is a parking lot outside the Miao Village, go to the parking lot, and then walk to the scenic area to buy tickets. There is a large commercial street on the way to the ticket office. You can also take a battery car to the homestay in the scenic area with your luggage.
💰Ticket price: 90 per person, plus 20 yuan for the battery car ticket, the scenic area is open day and night, you must stay inside to experience the essence of the Miao Village.
🏨Accommodation guide:
I chose to live in the Miao Village, the popular homestay here is 'Xijiang Cloud Pavilion Panorama Hotel', the photos are absolutely amazing. So I chose to live near the viewing platform here. Of course, you can also choose the homestay near the pedestrian street at the foot of the mountain, which is closer to the commercial area and more convenient to play.
🏰Attractions guide:
1. Because the hotel is on the high viewing platform, you can choose some bars to watch the panoramic view of the entire Miao Village (better at night). The internet celebrity pavilion in the hotel I chose is basically one of the must-visit check-in points when coming to the Miao Village. The best position requires extra money to go up if you are not a guest.
2. You can take a battery car from the viewing platform to the No. 1 Wind and Rain Bridge. This is the east area of the Miao Village. If you go west along the Baishui River, you can pass six Wind and Rain Bridges. Each one is worth a visit. The streets on both sides of the line are the core commercial areas, with all kinds of shops, but first go and take a photo with the Wind and Rain Bridge, which is another must-check-in project. You can refer to the positions where I took photos, especially between the 5th and 6th Wind and Rain Bridges, which are very beautiful.
3. If you want to taste Miao ethnic food, you can find a restaurant at random on the commercial street of the Miao Village or by the Baishui River. There are all kinds of prices. You will find that many restaurants in the Miao Village have singing, which may invite you to experience 'High Mountain and Running Water' (a group of Miao girls pouring you wine). If you just eat, the specialties are sour soup fish, pickles, bacon, etc., especially sour soup fish 👏
4. The lusheng field in the center of the Miao Village is a large outdoor Miao stage, where there are often free Miao group song and dance performances, highly recommended, a famous scene. Not far from it is the oldest Gaga Ancient Alley in the village, where many characteristic ethnic shops are opened. (You can navigate directly here.)
5. In many houses between the commercial area and the high places on the mountain, they are basically either homestays or local residents. The Miao Village is composed of several Miao villages, not just pure tourist attractions, so the school basketball court is near the commercial street, just stroll around to appreciate the architecture of the stilted buildings and see the life of the locals, which is also very interesting. This is how deep tours are played.
6. At the easternmost part of the village is a large piece of farmland, which can be seen not far from the No. 1 Wind and Rain Bridge to the east. This is a place close to nature. It is also terraced fields, but the background is the layered high-footed house scenery is different, if you have time, you must come over for a walk, the scenery is unique.
📌Small Tips: The area of the Miao Village is very large, there are many places to watch and play, it is recommended to stay for at least two days or more. Don't think it's commercialized, go up the mountain carefully, you will find many places still retain the original state. If the ladies want to take pictures, there are many photographers here, various ethnic costume travel shots in the southwestern ethnic scenic area have been out of control, I see they are all the same, it is better to take some unique photos by yourself.
🌈In short, if you don't come to Guizhou to travel to Thousand Miao Village, you won't be able to experience the essence of Guizhou.
