Recommended night tour guide for the Miao Village with a Thousand Households – it's so beautiful!

✨The Miao Village with a Thousand Households, which "answers everything with beauty" When the stilted buildings light up thousands of homes, it's like traveling to Hayao Miyazaki's cartoon world. Please accept this guide to niche ways to play that avoid the crowds! 🚗Transportation Guide ▫️Guiyang North Station → Kaili South Station (38-minute high-speed train) ▫️Turn right out of the station and take the direct shuttle bus to the scenic spot (CNY 35/person) to the North Gate ‼️Key point: Buy tickets + 4-way sightseeing bus (CNY 110) in advance on the "Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village" official account. 🏡Accommodation Recommendations ✔️Mid-mountain viewing B&B: Seven Letter/Sanchunli (ten thousand lights can be seen from the window) ✔️Pastoral scenery area: Xiang Su (wake up in the morning in the terraced fields and clouds) ▫️It is recommended to choose a service that includes luggage transfer, as dragging a suitcase on the stone road will be a nightmare! 📸Photo Spots 1️⃣Yunting Panoramic Hotel (classic Miao costume location, reservation required) 2️⃣No. 5 Wind and Rain Bridge (small bridge, flowing water, and stilted buildings; it is absolutely beautiful when there is no one in the early morning) 3️⃣Lusheng Field (capture dynamic beauty during the free performance in the afternoon) 4️⃣Gage Ancient Lane (oiled paper umbrella lane + intangible cultural heritage Miao embroidery workshop) 5️⃣100-meter boardwalk down from the viewing platform (avoid the crowds and take a panoramic view) 🍜Food Red and Black List ✅Caotang Tea House: Sour soup beef with Leigongshan mushrooms, the terrace view is amazing ✅Huinong Sour Soup Noodles: A time-honored breakfast restaurant queued up by locals ✅Hand-made Ciba: CNY 5/piece, freshly made and sold, covered with soybean flour, it is super fragrant ❌Long Table Banquet: CNY 68/person, low cost performance, it is recommended to share a table if you want to experience it 🌌Nightlife Guide ▪️After 19:30, when the lights are on, stroll along the ancient street to shop for handmade shops (Miao silver jewelry is super easy to buy!) ▪️20:00 "Beautiful Xijiang" performance at Lusheng Field (ordinary tickets are slightly expensive at CNY 198) ▪️Order a glass of "Gaoshan Liushui" rice wine at a riverside bar and listen to folk songs 📝In-depth Experience ❶Remember to bargain when renting Miao costumes! CNY 50/day including headdress (recommended pleated skirt style) ❷Every Tuesday is market day: find handmade Miao embroidery/batik cloth (bargain down by half) ❸Terraced field hiking: walk from Yedong Village up to Dongyin Viewing Platform ⚠️Avoidance Tips • Try to carry a backpack! There are so many stone roads + steps that you will doubt your life • Confirm whether the booked B&B is close to the sightseeing bus stop first • Prepare non-slip shoes on rainy days, and bring a light jacket when taking morning mist photos in the early morning • Rent clothing early! Good-looking styles are all picked out after 4pm 🌿This is the most complete original ecological culture of the Miao people When the lights of 11 villages light up one after another Standing on the corridor of the stilted building I suddenly understood what Yu Qiuyu said "The mountain and river twilight is all foreshadowing"
