Thousand Miao Village | Read this full guide to Thousand Miao Village | Super comprehensive

🏡 The Miao is one of the largest ethnic minorities in China. If you want to experience the Miao Village, then the Xijiang Thousand Miao Village in Guizhou is a must-visit. This place is known as the largest Miao settlement in the world. If you want to know the essence of the tour, then keep this guide 👇. 🚗 Transportation guide: 1. Airplane: You can first take a plane to Guiyang, then take a car from Guiyang to Kaili, and finally take a car from Kaili to Thousand Miao Village. 2. Train: You can take a train to Kaili Railway Station, and then take a car from Kaili Railway Station to Thousand Miao Village. 3. Car: You can take a bus from Guiyang, Kaili, Leishan and other places to Thousand Miao Village. I drove here, the road conditions are very good, it is recommended to stop at the west entrance area, there is a parking lot outside the Miao Village, go to the parking lot, and then walk to the scenic area to buy tickets. There is a large commercial street on the way to the ticket office. You can also take a battery car to the homestay in the scenic area with your luggage. 💰Ticket price: 90 per person, plus 20 yuan for the battery car ticket, the scenic area is open day and night, you must stay inside to experience the essence of the Miao Village. 🏨Accommodation guide: I chose to live in the Miao Village, the popular homestay here is 'Xijiang Cloud Pavilion Panorama Hotel', the photos are absolutely amazing. So I chose to live near the viewing platform here. Of course, you can also choose the homestay near the pedestrian street at the foot of the mountain, which is closer to the commercial area and more convenient to play. 🏰Attractions guide: 1. Because the hotel is on the high viewing platform, you can choose some bars to watch the panoramic view of the entire Miao Village (better at night). The internet celebrity pavilion in the hotel I chose is basically one of the must-visit check-in points when coming to the Miao Village. The best position requires extra money to go up if you are not a guest. 2. You can take a battery car from the viewing platform to the No. 1 Wind and Rain Bridge. This is the east area of the Miao Village. If you go west along the Baishui River, you can pass six Wind and Rain Bridges. Each one is worth a visit. The streets on both sides of the line are the core commercial areas, with all kinds of shops, but first go and take a photo with the Wind and Rain Bridge, which is another must-check-in project. You can refer to the positions where I took photos, especially between the 5th and 6th Wind and Rain Bridges, which are very beautiful. 3. If you want to taste Miao ethnic food, you can find a restaurant at random on the commercial street of the Miao Village or by the Baishui River. There are all kinds of prices. You will find that many restaurants in the Miao Village have singing, which may invite you to experience 'High Mountain and Running Water' (a group of Miao girls pouring you wine). If you just eat, the specialties are sour soup fish, pickles, bacon, etc., especially sour soup fish 👏 4. The lusheng field in the center of the Miao Village is a large outdoor Miao stage, where there are often free Miao group song and dance performances, highly recommended, a famous scene. Not far from it is the oldest Gaga Ancient Alley in the village, where many characteristic ethnic shops are opened. (You can navigate directly here.) 5. In many houses between the commercial area and the high places on the mountain, they are basically either homestays or local residents. The Miao Village is composed of several Miao villages, not just pure tourist attractions, so the school basketball court is near the commercial street, just stroll around to appreciate the architecture of the stilted buildings and see the life of the locals, which is also very interesting. This is how deep tours are played. 6. At the easternmost part of the village is a large piece of farmland, which can be seen not far from the No. 1 Wind and Rain Bridge to the east. This is a place close to nature. It is also terraced fields, but the background is the layered high-footed house scenery is different, if you have time, you must come over for a walk, the scenery is unique. 📌Small Tips: The area of the Miao Village is very large, there are many places to watch and play, it is recommended to stay for at least two days or more. Don't think it's commercialized, go up the mountain carefully, you will find many places still retain the original state. If the ladies want to take pictures, there are many photographers here, various ethnic costume travel shots in the southwestern ethnic scenic area have been out of control, I see they are all the same, it is better to take some unique photos by yourself. 🌈In short, if you don't come to Guizhou to travel to Thousand Miao Village, you won't be able to experience the essence of Guizhou.
