    "The hanging towers, wind and rain bridges and terraced fields of Qianhu Miao Village are very distinctive. At night, watching the lights of thousands of homes on the observation deck is very spectacular. There are many performances and tourists interacting in the ancient village to experience the customs of Miaojia. Overall feels good"

    Highlights: Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village is composed of more than ten natural villages built on the mountain, inhabited by the "Xi" clan Miao people. There are layers of Miao wooden stilt houses on the hillside, and coffee-colored old houses lean against the green mountains. The Baishui River divides the village into two parts. This side of the river (the left side after entering the Xiaobei Gate for tourists) is mainly a commercial pedestrian street, and the other side of the river (the right side after entering the Xiaobei Gate for tourists) is mainly a viewing platform overlooking the village.Arriving at Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village, we saw a gate with a plaque of "Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village" hanging on it at the parking lot. From this gate to the village, there is still a 1.5-kilometer road. You can take an electric car or walk. After this 1.5 kilometers, we saw another gate with a plaque of "Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village" hanging on it that looked similar to the one in the parking lot. This was the real arrival at the village.Drink the gate-blocking wine first, then enter the village. The first thing you see is the commercial pedestrian street, which sells a wide variety of Miao ethnic products. The most worth seeing is the Miao silver jewelry. Kongbai, Dagou Township, Leishan County, near the Miao village, is a well-known silversmith village. Almost all the men in the village have mastered the silver jewelry making technology, and the Miao silver craftsmanship is exquisite.There are Miao singing and dancing performances at the performance venue in the pedestrian street area. You can also visit the Xijiang Miao Museum and Guzangtou (the house of the Miao king, which houses bronze drums). Or walk along the Baishui River and see the wind and rain bridges with eaves over the river and the short and narrow wooden trestle bridges.At the end of the village is a pastoral scenery, and few people come here even in the peak season. There is a battery car station to the viewing platform across the river. Let's go to the viewing platform. The road is not long, and there are several points along the way to overlook the scenery. It is also a good view. Arrive at the viewing platform and wait for the night to fall. The drama of Xijiang has just begun. Thousands of lights are lit from the eaves of the wooden stilt houses, dotted with stars, outlining the outline of the entire Miao village, in the shape of a bull's head. It is hard to imagine that a village in a mountain has such a brightly lit scene. In the early morning, I came to the viewing platform again. The mist shrouded the Miao village. The first ray of sunshine turned the wooden house into gold, and the smoke from the cooking rose. A new day has begun. This brightly lit scene. In the early morning, I came to the viewing platform again. The mist shrouded the Miao village. The first ray of sunshine turned the wooden house into gold, and the smoke from the cooking rose. A new day has begun.In Miao villages, you can often see Miao girls with their hair in a bun on top of their heads with big flowers in it. If you just look at them, you can rent a few sets of Miao costumes and dress up as a Miao girl. They are very beautiful and very popular among the girls.Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village has mature tourism development, and there is no need to worry about food and accommodation. As for food, it is famous for long table banquets. People will ask you if you want to have a long table banquet in every restaurant in the village. If you put the tables together to make them longer, it will be considered a long table banquet. Just treat it as an experience. The real long table banquet is open-air, with dozens of tables connected so long that you may not be able to see the end from the beginning. During important festivals and when important tour groups visit, authentic long table banquets will be set up. Don't miss it when you see it. The taste of Southeast Guizhou is sour, and the special food of Miao Village includes sour soup fish, pickled vegetables, bacon, etc.
