Life advice: Visit the largest Miao village in the world at least once

This is the most romantic night I have ever seen. It's right here in Xijiang, the largest Qianhu Miao village in the country. This place has always been on my must-visit list. But to be honest, the commercialization here is much more serious than I imagined. However, as night falls and I climb to the top of the mountain to look down, the lights of thousands of homes light up, and the scenes from Hayao Miyazaki's animations unfold before my eyes, and I am truly moved to tears by the beauty! - 🚄Transport: Kaili South High-speed Railway Station 🚌Bus: After getting off the high-speed train, turn right to the bus station and take the bus (25 yuan) to either the North Gate or the West Gate (ask the owner of the homestay which gate is near when booking). - ✅'Check-in advice' 1️⃣There is a 'blocking gate wine' ceremony at the north gate of the scenic area every day, don't miss it! 🌟It's really unique, with two sessions at 11:00 am and 4:30 pm. 2️⃣Most of the merchants in the scenic area rent costumes for photography, it's advisable to ask around and compare. 3️⃣To the left of the scenic area, there are more shops and food, with several famous delicacies located on this road; to the right is the photo check-in area. 4️⃣I do not recommend going to the long-table feast!! The portions are small and the dishes are not very tasty, but if you want to join in the fun, you can go and experience it. - 📸'Photo recommendations' 1️⃣The night view from the observation deck is really amazing!! The daytime view is also good. 2️⃣The Yun Ting Hotel is the most classic spot, but it's crowded and there's a fee. 3️⃣The Wind and Rain Bridges are very photogenic, you can take pictures all the way. 4️⃣Behind the Wind and Rain Bridge, there is a large area of rice fields, lush and beautiful. 5️⃣If possible, bring a drone, the aerial view of the Miao village is stunning no matter how you shoot it.
