Hunan Xiangxi is not just about Fenghuang Ancient Town!! This is the true top Miao Village!

Stop crowding Fenghuang 🎯 Baojing County, Ludongshan Town in Xiangxi is simply a hidden gem I discovered! Why it attracts me here 🧐 Besides the pristine natural scenery, There is the world's number one Miao Village, Authentic market days, Endless fruits to eat, And kind, simple people. 🚗 Transportation tips: From Zhangjiajie-Jishou Station or Changsha-Jishou Station 🚅 There are two bus routes from the bus stop in front of Jishou Station (Route 18/Route 25). Route 25 bus goes directly there / driving along the way is scenic. Route 18 bus’s destination is Hangsha, passing through Hangji. (If driving, I recommend leaving in the morning; the mountain road with clouds and mist is super dreamy ☁️) 🏡 Must-visit Miao Villages: Hangji Miao Village and the "World's Number One Miao Village" can be explored for 3-4 hours. Every household’s wooden house is exquisitely maintained, and you can easily pick loquats and plums by the roadside (remember to bring mosquito repellent! There are lots of mosquitoes near the tea mountains, and although village dogs are not aggressive, be cautious). Miao village aunties will warmly invite you into their homes to see Miao embroidery, admire silver jewelry, and you can even follow intangible cultural heritage inheritors on mountain patrols for a unique experience. ✨ Special experiences: Follow intangible cultural heritage inheritors to pick tea on the mountain Miao aunties showcase stunning silver jewelry Free tasting of roadside loquats and plums (But remember to bring mosquito repellent ⚠️ there are lots of mosquitoes in the tea mountains) 💦 Nearby activities: Dafengchong Waterfall (super stunning after rain 🌈) Mysterious Miao worship platform Market on the fifth day of the lunar month (must try the sour and spicy rice tofu!)
