Things to do in Kaili

The most satisfying trip to Qianhu Miao Village!! The hotel was fantastic, with stunning views everywhere. They provided complimentary breakfast and afternoon tea, and the butler service, Xiao Ye, was impeccable—she was incredibly attentive, handling our luggage and planning our route the entire time, making for a truly chill holiday.

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!

Nestled against the mountains and beside the water, Xiasi Ancient Town blends Huizhou, Lingnan, Western, and ethnic minority architectural styles, with its cobblestone streets and rustic wooden buildings creating a picturesque scene. It retains its authentic, everyday atmosphere, and its local delicacies, such as sour fish soup, are unforgettable. The ancient town is tranquil and simple, steeped in history, making it an ideal place to escape the hustle and bustle and explore its hidden gems.

Kaili Miao-Dong Folk Culture Park is an excellent window to appreciate the culture of Guizhou's ethnic minorities. The park features traditional Miao-Dong architecture, with wooden stilt houses scattered in an orderly manner and carved eaves that fully demonstrate the beauty of ethnic craftsmanship. Visitors can watch intangible cultural heritage displays such as reed pipe dance and silver jewelry making, taste special foods such as sour soup fish and glutinous rice, and participate in hand-made experiences such as batik and embroidery. Although it is slightly commercialized, the concentrated ethnic customs and interactive activities are still very attractive, making it a convenient choice for exploring the humanities of Southeast Guizhou.

At the foot of the mountain, jagged rocks and ancient stone buildings coexist. When we started climbing, the stone steps were steep, with a rock wall on one side and hanging in the air on the other. Holding the cold railings, sweat dripped down, but we dared not stop. We took a short break on the way, looking back at the scenery gradually getting farther away, and we felt expectations in our exhaustion. At the viewing platform, we could see Kaili City and the green mountains and green fields. The world was vast and our minds were suddenly opened. When we reached the top, the mountain breeze blew on our faces. This climb challenged ourselves on the steep mountain roads and found inner peace in the magnificent mountain scenery.

Guading Hot Spring is indeed very famous in Miao Village. The reason why so many people choose it is mainly because the spring water here is natural and has good health care effects on the skin.

If you want to go to Guizhou, you must first choose Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village. The scenery along the way is amazing. Most people are very tired when they arrive, so many people don’t see the night view. But the beauty of Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village is at night.
