Cloud Terraces as Beautiful as Paintings

【Autumn Exclusive】Come to Leishan in October to encounter golden terraces, miss it and wait another year🍂 Who would have thought! The Leishan terraces in October are as beautiful as a spilled palette, the entire hillside dyed golden yellow, the aerial view is truly stunning! 📸 Photo and check-in spots: 1. Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village Viewing Platform (Xijiang Town, Leishan County) Best shooting time: 6-8 AM, especially dreamy with morning mist, recommended to stay in the village and get up early 2. Langde Shangzhai Terraces (Langde Town, Leishan County) Feature: Preserves original farming style, amazing light and shadow at dusk, ticket 60 RMB/person 3. Datang Miao Village (Datang Township, Leishan County) Secret-level terrace group, fewer people and beautiful scenery, suitable for deep travel 🚗 Travel tips: - Recommended gear: bring a telephoto lens + drone (remember to register in advance), wearing ethnic-style clothing makes photos stand out more - Transportation: 3-hour self-drive from Guiyang Airport, many mountain roads so daytime driving is recommended - Accommodation: first choice is Miao village stilted houses homestay, open the window to see terraces (off-season 200-400 RMB/night) 🍜 Must-eat list: ✔️ Sour soup fish (recommended at Anong Miao Family in Xijiang Miao Village) ✔️ Stir-fried cured meat with Houttuynia (almost all farmhouses in Langde Town have it) ✔️ Five-color glutinous rice (freshly made by the terraces, sweeter and more fragrant) Warm reminder: Mid-October to early November is the golden period, it is recommended to avoid the National Day holiday, the terraces have just finished harvesting and the straw art installations are super cute!
