 A date with Xijiang, spending the night in the heart of the Miao Village✨
.
Stepping into Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village feels like falling into a romantic dream in the mountains🌙
.
Rows of stilted wooden houses stretch along the mountain slope. When the morning mist drifts over the dark tiles, it seems the entire ancient village is floating in the clouds☁️; as the mist clears, the winding bluestone path leads deeper inside, with shimmering terraced fields reflecting the blue sky on one side🌾, and the century-old village’s lively atmosphere on the other—every step filled with poetry.
 
Fortunately, I met , who made a home in the heartbeat of the Miao Village💓. Here, there’s no need to rush your itinerary. In the afternoon, brew a pot of local tea🍵 and watch sunlight dance through the wooden window onto the tea cup; when night falls, lie on the terrace waiting for the starry sky to spread across the horizon🌌, watching the lights of thousands of homes below gradually light up, like scattering stars on earth; late at night, moonlight quietly climbs the wooden building🪵, silver ornaments hanging from the eaves gently sway, reflecting tiny fragments of light, as if pieces of the Milky Way are hung right outside the window💫.
.
Falling asleep to the tranquility of the Miao Village, even dreams taste sweet.
