Thousand Households Miao Village Summit Secret Spot | Find the Most Chill Corner of the Miao Village

Drink coffee in the "Pigpen," swing in the "Cowshed." The biggest charm of Pigpen Coffee and Cowshed Camp is that in the time it takes to enjoy a cup of coffee, you can privately take in the magnificent panoramic view of the entire Thousand Households Miao Village. This is an excellent vantage point overlooking the continuous stilted buildings and terraced fields, with a relaxed atmosphere perfect for zoning out and taking photos. 🗺️ How to Find Them The key to finding these two spots is to follow the right signs, as their locations are somewhat hidden. · Core Landmark: No matter which gate you enter the Miao Village from, you ultimately need to find the No. 1 Wind and Rain Bridge. · Starting Point for Climbing: Near the No. 1 Wind and Rain Bridge, look for the road leading to the Xijiang Police Station. Near the police station, start climbing the mountain from the small path beside it. · Along the Way: The path up the mountain is made of bluestone steps and is somewhat steep. There are clear wooden handwritten signs along the way pointing to "Pigpen Coffee House" and "Cowshed Camp." Just follow the signs, and you won’t get lost. You will pass a photo spot called "Half Summer Bloom." · Sequence: Usually, you will reach Pigpen Coffee first, then continue climbing a bit further to arrive at Cowshed Camp. 📷 Must-Experience and Photo Spots ☕️ Pigpen Coffee House * Viewing Terrace: Order a cup of coffee (priced around 30-40 RMB), sit on the terrace, and right below you is the panoramic view of Thousand Households Miao Village with a very wide field of vision. You can also take photos with the window frame of the nearby Village Study Room as the foreground, capturing the charming scenery of the Miao Village. * Special Features: Occasionally, there are lazy cats inside the shop, adding a touch of leisure to the atmosphere. 🏕️ Cowshed Camp * Cliff Swing: This is the most famous attraction at Cowshed Camp! Swinging out feels like you’re suspended above the Miao Village. Usually, ordering a drink is enough to experience it. * Rice Field Scenery: The camp is located on a patch of rice fields. You can sit in a small pavilion, enjoying a moment of tranquility with the lush green seedlings and the village in the distance as your backdrop.

Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village

#November Destinations 2025 Xijiang Miao Village, the largest Miao village in China, is located in Leishan County, Qiandongnan Prefecture, Guizhou Province. It is renowned for its well-preserved "original ecological" Miao culture, boasting a spectacular cluster of wooden stilted houses. It's an open-air museum for experiencing Miao clothing, silver ornaments, language, cuisine, and traditional customs, and an important base for Miao cultural research. Visitors can enjoy ethnic song and dance performances, experience handicraft making, taste local delicacies such as sour fish soup, and climb to the viewing platform for a panoramic view of the entire village, experiencing its unique charm. Its distinctive feature is the ingeniously constructed wooden stilted houses built into the mountainside, mostly three stories high: the ground floor for storage, the middle floor for living quarters, and the upper floor for storing grain.
