Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village

Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village is a collection of over ten natural villages built along the mountainside, inhabited by the "Xi" clan of the Miao people. The village features layers of wooden stilt houses on the slopes, with coffee-colored old houses nestled against lush green mountains. The Baishui River divides the village in two. The side of the river (to the left after entering the Xiaobei Gate for travelers) is mainly a commercial pedestrian street, while the opposite side (to the right after entering the Xiaobei Gate for travelers) is primarily the viewing platform overlooking the village. Upon arriving at Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village, you'll see a gate with the plaque "Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village" after getting off at the parking lot. From this gate to the village is a 1.5 km walk, which you can cover either by electric bikes or on foot. After this 1.5 km stretch, you'll encounter another gate similar to the one at the parking lot, also bearing the "Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village" plaque—this marks the true entrance to the village. First drink the welcoming wine, then enter the village. The first thing you see is the commercial pedestrian street, selling a dazzling array of Miao ethnic specialty products. The most eye-catching are the Miao silver ornaments. Kongbai in Xijiang town of Leishan near the Miao village is a well-known silversmith village, where almost all the men master the silver ornament making techniques, and the craftsmanship of Miao silver is exquisite. The performance venue in the pedestrian street area offers Miao ethnic song and dance shows. You can also visit the Xijiang Miao Ethnic Museum and the Drum Head's House (the Miao king's residence, where a bronze drum is enshrined). Alternatively, take a stroll along the Baishui River to see the wind-and-rain bridges with roofed eaves sheltering from the elements, or the low, narrow wooden plank bridges. At the end of the village lies a pastoral landscape, where even during peak season few visitors come. Across the river is a station for electric bikes to the viewing platform, but walking there isn't far, and several spots along the way offer excellent views. Upon reaching the viewing platform, wait for nightfall—the grand spectacle of Xijiang is just beginning. Thousands of lights illuminate from beneath the eaves of wooden stilt houses, dotted like stars to outline the entire Miao village in the shape of an ox head. It's hard to imagine such a brilliantly lit scene in a mountain village. Returning to the viewing platform at dawn, the Miao village is shrouded in mist as the first sunlight gilds the wooden houses golden. Smoke curls up from chimneys, marking the start of a new day. In Miao villages, you can often see Miao women with their hair buns coiled on top of their heads and adorned with large flowers. Just looking isn't enough—you can also rent a few sets of Miao costumes to dress up as a Miao woman yourself. It's especially beautiful and very popular among young women. Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village has mature tourism development, with no worries about food and accommodation. For dining, the famous option is the long-table banquet. Restaurants in the village will often ask if you'd like to try it—simply joining tables to make them longer counts as a long-table banquet, serving as a fun experience. The authentic long-table banquet is held outdoors, with dozens of tables connected end-to-end, sometimes so long that you can't see from one end to the other. These are set up during important festivals or when significant group tours visit, so don't miss the chance if you encounter one. The cuisine of southeastern Guizhou tends to be sour, and the village's specialty dishes include sour fish soup, pickled vegetables, and cured meat.

It's worth a visit. I recommend entering the park around 5:00 PM, taking a stroll and some photos, then returning to the main gate around 5:45 PM to play games and interact with the NPCs. The activities are well-organized and last until 9:30 PM, and both adults and children have a great time. The NPCs are excellent and enthusiastic, and they really create a lively atmosphere. There are direct buses to the park.

Stop and go, there will always be a scene that will make you linger. Walking on the streets of the small town and looking at the dazzling array of local snacks, and then experiencing Guizhou's soul food, Zhe Er Gen, will make me unforgettable in my life.

Imagine a summer with a gentle breeze, surrounded by Miao and Dong style buildings, soaking in hot springs, watching the blue sky and white clouds, watching the sunset, and the moonlight illuminating the town and the small county. I will fall in love with Danzhai again every summer. This summer, I will continue to stroll in Wanda Town with my friends from time to time. When I am tired, I will stop and find a teahouse to rest, and encounter the comfort of summer. I hope that there will be a fireworks show during this year's Intangible Cultural Heritage Week.

I have to say that Southeast Guizhou is really a treasure land. I won’t talk much about the well-known attractions. The Plaster Terraces are a very niche attraction. Here you can also feel the beauty of the terraces. When you walk into the terraces, you can feel the wisdom of the working people. This is really what I like about Southeast Guizhou.

We didn't go there on holidays, so there were few tourists. The scenic area was large, the air was fresh, and the staff were busy with maintenance. There are many animals in the cute pet park. Although there is no performance, they are still very cute. Like it 👍

The scenery is beautiful, the pleasant environment and the air is very good, but the commercial flavor is heavier, eating and buying things roughly match, if there are more elements added would be more perfect ah!

Shiqiao Village, Danzhai County, is located in the north of Danzhai County, surrounded by mountains on all sides, with beautiful scenery. There are more than 60 households engaged in papermaking in the village, mainly producing white paper and colored paper. The handmade paper is unique in the country.

It's OK. It's quite big. I walked in a small circle for three hours! The scenery is nice and the air is good! The top of the mountain is self-funded, so I didn't go up! Locals don't charge, so it can be regarded as the back garden of local residents.

A unique cultural experience in the village. We were all warmly greeted to the village by the local ethnic performers, and some tourists were also offered the local rice wine as gesture of hospitality. Overall a great experience!
