[2025 Leishan Stay] Travel Guide for Seven Letters · Houshan Intangible Cultural Heritage Research Homestay (Updated May)

In Guizhou's Xijiang Thousand Household Miao Village, the "Seven Letters" homestay has partnered with the Colorful Guizhou Ethnic Costume Museum to create an immersive cultural experience space centered on intangible cultural heritage revitalization, bringing millennia-old Miao craftsmanship out of display cases and into contemporary life. ​Batik: A Millennia-Old Art of Blue and White​ Rooted in ancient Miao techniques, the experience area offers batik workshops guided by inheritors of this intangible cultural heritage. From sketching butterfly, fish, and bird totems with beeswax to indigo-dyeing that creates ice-crack textures, visitors can create their own fabric art piece—a functional yet aesthetic heritage artwork. All dyes follow the museum's restored traditional formulas, making these crafts truly "usable" in daily life. ​Miao Costumes: Wearing an Epic of Civilization​ Drawing from the museum's collection of over 3,000 costumes, the homestay has reproduced 20 museum-grade Miao outfits. From the elaborate split-thread embroidered costumes of Shidong Miao to the star-patterned wedding dresses of Danzhai Bazhai Miao, each piece revives endangered techniques. Professional cultural interpreters explain the creation myths and migration codes woven into these patterns as visitors dress up, becoming "walking history books." ​Cross-Border Symbiosis: A New Paradigm for Heritage Spaces​ This collaboration redefines intangible heritage value through "academia + experience": 1. Themed Spaces​: Art walls incorporating Miao costumes and embroidery create a "sleeping within culture" experience; 2. Cultural Innovation​: Museum patterns inspire trendy products like bronze-drum backpacks and batik dolls, bridging ancient symbols with modern life; 3. Living Heritage​: On-site embroidery demonstrations and visitor proceeds support artisan communities, fostering craft preservation in surrounding villages. ​Experience Guide​ Address: Seven Letters·Houshan Intangible Heritage Study Homestay (Xijiang Thousand Household Miao Village Observatory Branch) ⏰Activities: Batik workshop (includes artwork), Miao costume dressing (includes photography), cultural product exhibition Opening Hours: 10:00-22:00 When a homestay becomes a cultural vessel, heritage is no longer a distant symbol. Here, every touch sparks a dialogue across millennia, and every creation carries the embers of civilization.
