Meryong Miao Village: A Beautiful Leisure Village in China
🏝Meryong Drum Town (Meryong is a transliteration of the Miao language, meaning "a place with dragons") is an open-air Miao culture museum in Hunan, which is large in scale and well-preserved. During the Wanli period of the Ming dynasty, it belonged to the Yongshun Xuanwei Envoy Yingqi, and during the Qing dynasty, it belonged to the Gushangping Hall Xiyingbao.
🏝In the 10th year of the Republic of China, it belonged to the Xiying Township of Guzhang County, and in 1981, it was established as Meryong Town. Because every household in the area loves to play drums, the Miao drum dance has become an important entertainment activity in the production and life of the people. The nickname of Meryong Drum Town has spread and become famous at home and abroad.
🏝Meryong Drum Town has been rated as the hometown of Miao flower drums in China, the hometown of Chinese folk culture and art, a traditional Chinese village, a Chinese ethnic minority village, a national 3A-level tourist attraction, and a beautiful leisure village in China. It has become a shining pearl of Miao culture on the golden tourist route from Zhangjiajie to Fenghuang Ancient Town in China!

The ancient Morong Miao Village in Guzhang County, Xiangxi.
The wooden stilt houses built on the mountain, the simple bluestone roads, the beautiful Miao costumes, the pleasant Miao songs, the joyful door-blocking wine... The charming ethnic customs make people forget the hustle and bustle of the city. Locals in Xiangxi seem to be able to enter for free.
