“The Hidden Miao Valley”

#chinatravel Iconic Icon — Dehang Village Dehang Village (德夯苗寨) is an iconic Miao ethnic minority village hidden in the mountains of western Hunan Province, near Jishou in the Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture. What makes Dehang iconic is its stunning blend of traditional Miao stilted wooden houses perched on lush green hillsides, surrounded by dramatic karst peaks, deep gorges, and crystal-clear streams. One highlight is the Dehang Grand Canyon, with its famous waterfalls and sheer cliffs — a paradise for hikers and nature lovers. The village’s name means “Beautiful Valley” in the Miao language, and its culture is just as special: wooden drum towers, ancient songs, silver jewelry, and colorful Miao costumes give Dehang a timeless charm. Visitors love the combination of breathtaking scenery and living Miao traditions.
