Guizhou | Minority Ethnic Group: Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village
The Chinese culture integrates various ethnic groups, and one interesting destination during travel is the settlements of minority ethnic groups, such as the Tibetan, Miao, Yi, Qiang, Korean, etc. These are generally located in border areas and indeed have quite different living habits from the Han nationality.
Guizhou is one of the main distribution areas of the Miao nationality, and Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village is the largest settlement here. It takes about four hours to get there from Guiyang. The entrance has a large sign that reads 'Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village', and the back of the ticket has a complete tourist map of the scenic area ❤️
A half-day cultural journey might look like this: Take a leisurely walk and snap photos all the way to the highest point for a panoramic view of the entire village. You can change into Miao ethnic clothing for beautiful pictures. After descending, sit in the central square of the village. The square has regular activities such as Miao dance performances or rice drying. If interested, you can also join in the dance 💃, enjoying a leisurely half-day 👍

It is one of the 18 ecological cultural preservation circles determined by the World Indigenous Culture Foundation.
Worthwhile attractions to visit
📍 Zhenyuan Ancient Town
National 5A tourist attraction, located in Zhenyuan County of Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture in Guizhou Province, with the old prefecture city on the north bank and the old garrison city on the south bank. Both cities were built during the Ming Dynasty, and some parts of the city walls and gates still exist. Taking a boat ride at night to enjoy the night view of both banks, the reflection of ancient buildings in the water is a different kind of enjoyment.
📍 Tongren Fanjing Mountain
National 5A tourist attraction, the main peak of the Wuling Mountains, with an altitude of 2572 meters, located at the junction of Jiangkou, Yinjiang, and Songtao counties in Tongren City, Guizhou Province. Fanjing Mountain, also known as the City in the Sky, offers a variety of colors such as red, yellow, purple, and green as you ascend in autumn, allowing you to experience a diverse landscape in one trip.
📍 Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village
National 4A tourist attraction, located in Nangu Village, Xijiang Town, Leishan County, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture of Guizhou Province, consists of more than ten natural villages built along the mountains, connected into a patchwork. Terraced fields stretch up to the clouds along the mountains, and the Baishui River runs through the village, dividing Xijiang Miao Village into two. Here you can experience the simple local customs and a different geomorphological style. It is known as the Chinese version of 'Spirited Away'.
📍 Miaowang City
Located in Songtao Miao Autonomous County, Guizhou Province, it was first built in the early years of the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty and was originally the residence of the Miao chieftain. Miaowang City is the only well-preserved ancient Miao fortress in the southwestern region that integrates politics, economy, culture, military, and architecture. Built in the time of the Ming Dynasty, it quietly waits for others to discover it through the torrents of time. This is not just a scenic spot, but also a gateway to Miao culture.

The Wooden House Village.
The Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village is a special ancient village in Guizhou Province of China. It is home to the Miao people, a minority group in China.
Getting there: Get to Kaili city (in Guizhou province) by train. Then get a taxi to the village. A private car is also an option and you just need to search online for a company - there are many English speaking ones that can take you.
The village itself is filled with stunning traditional wooden architecture and stunning scenic views of the ancient village. (see my photos for some examples). It is truly a unique part of China.
I recommend staying for several nights to really enjoy and take in the culture.
Tip: Go for sunset shots to enjoy a panoramic view of Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village. There are viewing decks on the opposite hill of Xijiang Miao Village and electric car can take you there. Standing on the viewing deck, you’ll enjoy picturesque and peaceful panoramic view of the whole village.

The best thing happen when you get here!
While wandering in Xinjiang, Miao Villages I was lucky to witnessed and experienced their Ethnic dance performance. It was amazing, after their performance you are allowed to take pictures with them they will welcome you with a warm smile. Aside from that, you can't leave in this place without trying there local dessert that you can buy everywhere in the streets for ¥5. The ginger tea and of course the famous barbecue stick that cost ¥10 for 10 pcs. If your fan of milktea don't worry this place has too 😂😊.

Spectacular Ancient Village!
Xi Jiang Miao village in Guizhou province is a stunning place to walk around and photograph.
As a budding photographer, I just loved walking through the narrow streets and climbing to the top of the village for a birds eye view of the entire village.
I recommend staying in a local hotel inn at the top of the village. You can wake up, like I did, to one of the greatest sunrises ever.

Xijiang Ancient Town - lovely valley views!
🚗 To get into the Ancient Town you have to park and buy tickets at the main West Gate and walk with your stuff to the main bus area (towards the huge silver round building). There are traditional dancers upon entry and heaps of restaurants, souvenir shops as you enter (and exit) you pass.
🎟 The tickets including the bus were 110rmb each and you can exit and enter the park 4 times with the ticket. You then get on a bus for a 10km/10mins drive down a steep winding road. It still drops you off at the top of a hill you have to walk down (about 7mins) to get to the main viewing platform. We chose not to use the various small shuttle buses throughout the town because walking down and up the winding alleyways was fun and let us see the many different views! If you have any mobility issues the buses can take you from place to place but the line ups looked a little long depending on the time of day.
😬 This is the busiest and biggest Miao village in Guizhou and as such it gets pretty loud. There is still a lot of construction that starts early in the morning and traditional dance shows combined with nightly KTV can be quite loud.
nay
⛰ Having said that – we found this glorious walk along a wooden walkway that led us to the next valley where we were in complete silence. It was around a 4-hour hike at a leisurely pace. Many tourists go here to dress up in the local ethnic minority costume and take pictures, so that seems to be the main thing most people do. For dinner, there is plenty of delicious restaurants along the way that sell delicious food but I would highly suggest having a night of street snacks. The local rice rolls are vegetarian and simply deliciously fresh. We also had some killer shaved noodles, some spicy roasted potatoes and some rice deserts. Washed down with a couple of beers and some glorious people watching – it’s a fun night out amongst crowds of people!

Xijiang Miao Village
Xijiang Miao Village is a scenic area located at the foot of the mountain in Leishan county, in Guizhou province. This traditional and beautiful Miao village is one of the largest in China. The village is full of shops to buy souvenirs and food, wooden houses, beautiful nature…Definitely it’s a good place to scape from the hustle city. Although it’s important to know that this tradicional village is quite well prepared for tourism and there is an entrance fee.

Get lost wandering in Xijiang ❤️
Xijiang is a rural town in Leishan county, Guizhou, China. The town is renowned for its Miao villages and their custom and human relationships.
The most popular one, the Xijiang Miao village.
One day is not enough to explore throughly the place. For it is rich in culture and architectural design, these Miao villages will surely capture your interest.
Hike up a bit if you want to get on the Observation deck so you can have a good bird's eyeview of the Xijiang Miao village. Walk on the side of the river to get a better view of the stacked-up houses. Get lost on those small alleyways uphill.
Yes you will get tired from walking, but hey, the place is really beautiful. Really beautiful. ❤️

Meeting the Miao ethnic minority ❤️
Miao is the official Chinese term for four distinct groups of people who are only distantly related through language or culture: the Hmu people of Southeast Guizhou, the Qo Xiong people of West Hunan, the A-Hmao people of Yunnan, and the Hmong people of Guizhou, Sichuan, Guangxi, and Yunnan.
It is believed that the Miao were among the first rice farmers in China.
In Xijiang Miao village in Leshan county, Guizhou i met some of them. They are friendly amongst the foreign and local tourists. They will welcome you open arms with a rice wine in welcoming platform. There is also a free song-and-dance performances twice a day when you visit the village.
Miao women in Xijiang wear elegant and glittering silver ornaments. They wear large neck rings, necklaces, earrings, and silver bracelets. With their colorful and vibrant costume wear.
For like 45-60rmb, you can dress up as a Miao man or woman and have your picture taken.

The thousand house village
This is an amazing place to spend some time. It is filled with tourists so be ready for many crowds. The sights are however 100% worth it. At night you can take a bus up to the top to look down and all the houses light up. The people are very friendly and love to see a foreign face. There are many places to hike, take photos or just relax. Would highly recommend spending 2 days here. #china #ancientvillage #summervacation

The thousand household village, and the largest Miao village in China.
Set in the natural basin of a valley, surrounded by paddy fields, wooden houses on stilts (known as diao jiao lou, 豆角楼) rise up off the grounds covering the hillsides. Comprised of three storeys, the first usually is usually used for storage of tools and livestock; the second acts as the bedroom, living room, kitchen; the third is used to store grain and other products.
From long table banquets and colorful performances to incredible viewing decks and unique local eats, you’ll need to stay at least two days to experience everything Xijiang Miao Village has to offer.

heart for a few years of Xijiang thousand household Miao Village, today finally got their wish. After

Morning Serenity at Qianhu Miao Village:Discovering the Quiet Charm Before the Crowds
#chinatrip #guizhou
A morning walk at Xijiang Qianhu Miao Villageis truly the best way to experience its serene and authentic charm before the bustling tour groups arrive. As the first rays of sunlight illuminate the layers of wooden Miao stilt houses cascading down the hillside, the village feels like a peaceful dream. The cobblestone paths are quiet, with only the soft sounds of nature and the occasional early riser going about their day. This tranquil time offers a chance to appreciate the intricate details of Miao architecture, the terraced fields in the distance, and the gently flowing Baishui River that weaves through the village. Without the crowds, it’s easier to connect with the soul of this cultural gem, soaking in its history, beauty, and the slow-paced rhythm of life that defines it.

The best viewing point in Kaili Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village.
Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village Icon Viewing Platform. At dawn, a row of colorful fireworks shot straight into the night sky, lighting up the darkness in the distance and waking up the sleeping Xijiang icon. Walking along the winding stone steps to the viewing platform on the mountain, a row of photography enthusiasts have already set up long guns and short cannons facing the Qianhu Miao Village at the foot of the mountain, like snipers waiting for the best opportunity to press the shutter and freeze the moment. In the evening, the warm sun drove away the haze and slowly shone on the Miao village opposite, as gentle and comfortable as a Miao mother stroking her child. Gradually, the temperature of the setting sun was cooled by the deep night, and the lights at the foot of the mountain gradually lit up the outline of the mountain, warming the whole village once again.

Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village Beautiful Xijiang Performance.
The Beautiful Xijiang performance is held in the theater on the commercial street of Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village. The theater has performances every day, with additional performances on holidays. When the drums start to beat, a group of Miao people in traditional costumes will begin their performance. Their colorful costumes, cheerful dances, beautiful legends, and touching love stories are all presented through their movements. The Miao ancient songs are the most wonderful part of the performance. The singers are all elderly people from the village, singing epic ancient songs in the Miao language. The Miao ancient songs are divided into four parts, covering the origin of all things, the ancient world, and the bitter history of migration.

Weekend trip! Relaxing 2-day, 1-night trip from Chengdu to Guizhou and Qianhu Miao Village👇🍁
It's the off-season for travel, so it's a great time to visit Guizhou.
Transportation: Take a high-speed train from Chengdu East Railway Station to Kaili Railway Station in Guizhou (3–4 hours). After getting off the train, you still have a ways to go to Qianhu. You can take a scenic area bus at the entrance, a Didi, or a local driver (we paid CNY 40 per person). There are also scenic area buses in the scenic area to reduce walking.
Accommodation: I really recommend staying at a guesthouse at the foot of the mountain. Otherwise, carrying your luggage up the mountain is exhausting. The guesthouses are stacked on top of each other. They look close, but they might be on the mountain. Staying on the mountain has its perks (beautiful scenery, especially the night view, and many guesthouses have photo spots).
Food: The scenic area is known for its sour fish hot pot. We had local specialties on the first day and sour fish on the second day. I recommend Luanxi Diary, a new restaurant with great food (compared to others!).
Things to do: Two days is more than enough. The village is big, but there are so many photo spots. You can take photos in traditional clothing, watch local performances, and try the milk tea (it's really pretty). There are many stalls selling cultural and creative products, and you can find unique trinkets.
The popular Pigpen Cafe is halfway up the mountain. I recommend going early because it's very crowded.
The big swing is on the same mountain as the cafe. You can visit both in the afternoon. Afterward, you can go down the mountain and enjoy the beautiful night view.

Traveling with Parents to Qianhu Miao Village.
On the eighth day of our ten-day trip, we took a bus to Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village at 9:00. There are buses available in the scenic area. We arrived at Xijiang at 11:00, just in time for the welcome performance at the entrance.
We stayed at Xianxin Banshan Xingxiu near Bridge No. 1. Yes, we had to climb for a long time and were out of breath, but the hotel is right next to the farmland and the cable car station to the viewing platform. We ate a few pancakes on the way and were not very hungry, so we went to the viewing platform and visited the museum. The museum introduces the branches of the Miao ethnic group, such as the differences in clothing between the Bai Miao and Hua Miao. It also introduces Miao medicine, which combines witchcraft and medicine. I had heard about the head-dropping technique before, which is a bit scary.
We watched the performance at the square at 2:00, and then went to Miao Xiang for brunch. They have affordable set meals. After the meal, we went back to the homestay to wait for the night view. Next to the homestay is the popular restaurant Fangshan, which has the Wuzhishan. While having tea, we chatted with a Bai girl. She said that authentic Miao clothing is a wedding dress embroidered by the mother for her daughter, with a set of silver jewelry, which costs more than 200,000 yuan. The jewelry at the photo spots is made of white copper. I didn't want to take photos, so I can't give any advice.
At night, we took photos of the night view at the homestay. It is said that the next Miao king, who is hereditary, is only 20 years old and is a sophomore in college. He lives in the lit-up area in the upper left corner (photo 11). His father is only 48 years old. Interested girls can sing with him on March 3.
