May Day Holiday Photo Spots Featuring Miao Girls

✨ **Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village, Guizhou – A Thousand Years of Miao Heritage, Ten Thousand Lights** ✨ **🌿 This is a secret realm where time stands still.** Thousands of stilted houses are built on the mountain, layer upon layer, as if growing out of history. In the misty morning light, wisps of smoke curl up; when night falls, thousands of lights illuminate the valley, like a galaxy pouring down on earth. **🎵 Hear the heartbeat of the Miao people.** The Lusheng music is melodious, the silver ornaments jingle, and the girls dance the joyful "Caitang" dance. The ancient Miao songs echo in the terraces, and every chant is a tribute to the ancestors and a praise to nature. **🍶 Miao customs on the tip of your tongue.** Sour soup fish is spicy and appetizing, glutinous rice is fragrant, and a sip of rice wine brews the enthusiasm of the mountains and rivers. At the long table banquet, strangers can become friends over a bowl of wine. **📸 Freeze your Miao memories.** Wear a Miao embroidered costume and be a son or daughter of the Miao family for half a day; stand on the observation deck and overlook the clouds, or stroll through the ancient alleys and touch the temperature of rattan and bamboo wares. —— 📍 **Coordinates**: Leishan County, Qiandongnan Prefecture, Guizhou ⏳ **Best time to visit**: All seasons are beautiful (spring for rice transplanting, autumn for rice harvesting, July for the Xin Festival, and November for the Miao New Year, which is the most lively) "Understand a nation by reading a village."
