Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village, if it weren't so crowded

Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village | At night, the mountains are full of people, what to do if you can't squeeze into the observation deck 🥹🏮 My teammate found a milk tea shop where you can sit and enjoy the night view with a purchase. The fire station next door took the best spot 😌 So envious.

💫 Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village
China's largest Miao gathering place! Thousands of lights like stars falling into the human world ✨

🚗 Transportation
📍 Address: Xijiang Town, Leishan County, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province
Self-driving: 3 hours from Guiyang
High-speed rail: Get off at Kaili South Station, 40 minutes by taxi. There's a direct shuttle bus from the high-speed rail station to the scenic area. Carpooling is 5 yuan more expensive, which is also a fair price.

🐾 Must-visit routes
1️⃣ Observation deck to overlook the panoramic view of Qianhu Miao Village. If you don't want to squeeze, go to the milk tea shop next to the fire station and solve the problem with money.
📸Tips: Get a spot before 6 PM! The blue hour at dusk is the most beautiful.

2️⃣ Wind-Rain Bridge
5 Wind-Rain Bridges span the Baishui River, Bridge No. 3 is the most photogenic.
📸Photo spot: Stand in the middle of the bridge and photograph the stilt houses on both banks.

3️⃣ Gaga Ancient Alley
Original ecological Miao alley, silver ornament workshops are great for browsing.

🍲 Food recommendations
Sour Fish Soup: Miao family's secret red sour soup is super appetizing.
Cured Meat Ciba: Charcoal-grilled sticky rice cake is super fragrant.
Five-Color Rice: Rainbow glutinous rice dyed with natural plants.

💡 Anti-scam guide
❌ Avoid the "free photo" scam on the roadside.
⭕ At the milk tea shop next to the observation deck, you can buy a seat for about 30 per person.
⭕ Remember to bargain when renting Miao costumes! Regular styles are 50/day.
