We set off after having a local specialty breakfast on the morning of October 12. Along the way, we gradually saw the colors of autumn, and some golden late rice. The pristine scenery on both sides of the road came into view. It took more than 20 minutes from the county seat to reach the most primitive tribe. As soon as we entered the village, we were overwhelmed by a feeling of nostalgia, the simple wooden houses, the bluestone paths, and the clear streams, which seemed to give people a feeling of relaxation and solidity. This is one of the best-preserved Miao villages in Hunan Province. Walking on the country paths, I feel like I have forgotten the depression of city life. At this moment, I feel like I have returned to my childhood. Happy and blessed. Welcome everyone to Disun Miao Village.

Disun Miao Village is located in Disun Village, Sanqiao Township, Jingzhou County, Huaihua City, Hunan Province.

It is a natural oxygen bar, with rich ethnic architecture and simple folk customs, which attracts many people. Miao Village is one of the important birthplaces of the national intangible cultural heritage Miao Gepi. There are many good singers and dancers here.

| Jingzhou, Hunan, the hometown of bayberry. Jingzhou, Hunan, is not well-known, but it has a long history. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it became a major commercial town at the border of Hunan, Guizhou, and Guangxi provinces due to its geographical advantages. However, as times changed and waterways were no longer the main means of transportation, it became a leisurely small town hidden in the mountains that few people knew about. Today, the only traces of history that can be touched in Jingzhou city are basically the Tuqiao Street and He Street, the mottled old houses and alleys, and the colorful glutinous rice drying in front of the houses; there are also the wharfs, the old stilted buildings, the renovated guild halls, and one can vaguely recall the past glory from them. The street is not long, and at the end you can see the long Qujiang River. The bluestone slabs of the Ma Wang Bridge are still there. Eating a bowl of handmade ice powder at the small stall at the head of the bridge and chatting with the old people, it seems like you are still living in that simple era. Wangjiang Tower, as one of the city landmarks, has a good night view. It is diagonally opposite to the Jiangdong Wind and Rain Bridge, which is a good place to sit leisurely. The floating bridge in the river under the bridge, although rebuilt, is a great restoration of the appearance at that time. It is convenient for people on both sides to come and go daily, and it is also a good place for leisure and sightseeing. The only regret is that although it is an autonomous county of the Miao and Dong ethnic groups, you have to go to a slightly farther village to feel the original ethnic customs. 🚗Transportation strategy: Take a train from Chongqing or Huaihua, Guangxi, get off at Jingzhou Station, and there are buses to the city area, in fact, it is not far to walk. 🌟Local must-visit: Fei Mountain, Dishun Miao Village, Yanjiao Dong Village, etc. 🍲Food recommendation: Jingzhou is the "hometown of Chinese bayberry" and "hometown of Poria", the local specialties mainly include: carved honey preserves, bayberry wine, bayberry dried fruit, Poria crisp cake, pickled vegetables, all are quite convenient to take home.
