My goodness! This is the only place I've been to and want to go to again!

Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village, a nationally and internationally renowned ethnic cultural tourism destination, is located in the northeastern part of Leishan County, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province. It is only 36 kilometers away from Leishan County and 32 kilometers away from the prefectural capital, Kaili City, and about 198 kilometers away from the provincial capital, Guiyang. It is one of the largest, best-preserved and most populous stilted building complexes in the world, with over 1,300 households and a population of more than 6,000 people. Qianhu Miao Village, with its unique charm that cannot be replicated, has become the only 'must-go-again' destination in my heart! An extraordinary circular exploration from the No.1 Wind Bridge to the No.6 Wind Bridge, leaves a deep cultural imprint and beauty of time with each step. Starting from the No.1 Wind Bridge, crossing six bridges that carry historical stories, forms a meaningful time-space spiral. This is not just a simple walk, but an artistic stroll to immerse in the Miao customs. When you complete the round trip to the No.6 Wind Bridge, you will find that this journey cleverly connects the beginning and the end, symbolizing the endless inheritance power of Miao culture. The viewing platform is undoubtedly a highlight. Standing here, the entire Miao Village panorama is presented in front of your eyes like a poem and a painting, with a wide and magnificent view. The internet-famous check-in holy land 'Yun Pavilion' is hidden among them, capturing those enviable travel blockbuster moments. To enrich the travel experience, it is strongly recommended to rent a set of exquisite Miao costumes and leave a memorable photo here, because the next visit to this secret place may not be scheduled. Food exploration is an indispensable part of the journey, and the following restaurants are worth tasting one by one. Caotang Tea House is proud of its signature Miao sour soup beef, with tender and delicious beef immersed in sour and spicy soup, it is a wake-up call for the taste buds. Huinong Sour Soup Noodle House, a ten-year-old shop, has successfully captured the taste buds of every food seeker with a bowl of smooth and soulful sour soup noodles, becoming a must-check-in food landmark. There are more delicacies waiting for you to discover! For accommodation, you can refer to the unique mountain top homestays. Qifengxin·Preamble is like a pearl inlaid on the top of the mountain, adjacent to the viewing platform. Staying here, every glance is a vivid interpretation of the panoramic scroll of Qianhu Miao Village, especially in the early morning or at dusk, the beauty here is intoxicating. Another recommendation is Sanchunli Homestay, which has three branches in the Miao Village, each of which can provide a panoramic viewing platform, ensuring that no matter which one you book, you can enjoy the spectacular night view of the Miao Village under the starry sky. Special reminder: Qianhu Miao Village Scenic Area has two main entrances, east and west. Please plan the best drop-off point in advance according to the actual location of the hotel you booked, so as to start this wonderful journey more quickly and comfortably. Only with sufficient preparation can you reap unlimited touring pleasure in a limited time, making the trip to Qianhu Miao Village a dazzling chapter in your Ctrip travel memory, which can be savored and shared widely!
