The mysterious "Eastern Indian" in the ancient village of Guizhou deep mountains|

|In 2024, I didn't expect to see such an ancient village in the deep mountains of Libo, Guizhou. It's not commercialized, primitive and simple, it's really amazing! -Yaoshan Ancient Village High-speed Rail to "Libo" station, a 20-minute taxi ride will get you there. - Bai Jingting and Xie Tingfeng have both come to check in. It's only 5 kilometers away from Libo Xiaoqikong, which is the main settlement of the White Pants Yao. The natural village is well preserved and is known as the "Eastern Indian", preserving the ancient matriarchal clan system. Yao folk customs are fully displayed here. Men wear "white pants", women wear "two pieces of Yao". Villagers in traditional Yao costumes can be seen everywhere in the ancient village. During some special festivals, Yao compatriots will welcome guests with the highest etiquette of "gun firing" and "door-blocking wine". - In the ancient village, you can also see the iconic historical buildings and warehouses. It is supported by four pillars, with wooden boards on the upper layer and a round grain warehouse below. The round warehouse is supported by four wooden pillars at equal distances at the bottom, separated by pottery jars in the middle, which can prevent rats and keep it airy and prevent grain from getting damp and moldy. Under the warehouse is a good place for Yao children to play, women to work and chat. - You can experience Yao embroidery, handmade pottery, and Yao sticky paste dyeing during your visit. Intangible cultural heritage visit: Top Workshop, Sticky Paste Workshop, Medicine Cooking Workshop. Large-scale live performances and bonfire parties by Yao people in Yaoshan, including Fire Gun Dance, Monkey Drum Dance, Bronze Drum Dance, Fire Dance Yaoshan. - About accommodation, friends who like quiet can stay here for two days. This time, we stayed at the "Yaochi Xiaoqikong Homestay" in Yaoshan Ancient Village. If you have nothing to do, you can boil tea around the stove in the countryside and drink tea with friends. The floor-to-ceiling glass in the room allows you to see the strangely shaped rolling hills not far away. The clouds and mist in the early morning are like a fairyland. The room also has a large bath, where you can directly experience one of the three major bathing cultures in the world, Yao bath. The ingredients are Yao medicine made by the medicine cooking shop. It's really comfortable to take a bath while enjoying the view outside the window.
