May Day Holiday Photo Spots Featuring Miao Girls

✨ **Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village, Guizhou – A Thousand Years of Miao Heritage, Ten Thousand Lights** ✨

**🌿 This is a secret realm where time stands still.**
Thousands of stilted houses are built on the mountain, layer upon layer, as if growing out of history. In the misty morning light, wisps of smoke curl up; when night falls, thousands of lights illuminate the valley, like a galaxy pouring down on earth.

**🎵 Hear the heartbeat of the Miao people.**
The Lusheng music is melodious, the silver ornaments jingle, and the girls dance the joyful "Caitang" dance. The ancient Miao songs echo in the terraces, and every chant is a tribute to the ancestors and a praise to nature.

**🍶 Miao customs on the tip of your tongue.**
Sour soup fish is spicy and appetizing, glutinous rice is fragrant, and a sip of rice wine brews the enthusiasm of the mountains and rivers. At the long table banquet, strangers can become friends over a bowl of wine.

**📸 Freeze your Miao memories.**
Wear a Miao embroidered costume and be a son or daughter of the Miao family for half a day; stand on the observation deck and overlook the clouds, or stroll through the ancient alleys and touch the temperature of rattan and bamboo wares.
