[Guizhou · Wujiang Village] The "Water Jiangnan" Hidden in Northern Guizhou

📍 **"Guizhou's landscapes and culture truly captivated me! 💥

🌟 **[Wujiang Village: A "Living Museum" Hidden in Northern Guizhou]**
Who would have thought that this was once territory of the ancient Shu Kingdom, where Yi, Miao, Dong and other ethnic groups have lived for generations? Stilt houses built along the river, terraced fields layered like paintings - even National Geographic called it the "ceiling of Guizhou's night scenery"!

✨ **Must-Experience Cultural Activities**
1️⃣ **Ultimate Intangible Cultural Heritage Crafts**
- **Wu Paper Workshop**: Make your own flower paper! Lay wildflowers on wet pulp, and after drying, it has natural textures - maximum romance!
- **Bamboo Weaving Workshop**: Watch master craftsmen weave baskets and lanterns from bamboo, and you can't help but try it yourself.

2️⃣ **Folk Performances That Are Instantly Legendary**
- **Bamboo Pole Balancing**: Miao young men crossing the river on a single bamboo pole - just like a martial arts movie!
- **Nuo Opera & Phoenix of Fire**: Mysterious mask dances + drone light shows in the night sky - goosebump-inducing!
- **Bonfire Gathering**: Hold hands and dance with strangers, instantly breaking social anxiety barriers 🔥!

📜 **Fun Facts TIME**
- During the Qing Dynasty, Prefect Chen Yuhui promoted oak silkworm cultivation here, boosting economic prosperity. Chen Gong Shrine still tells this story today.
- The village was originally named "Shangxi," but was renamed after the Wujiang River that runs through it. It was once an important post on the ancient salt and tea-horse routes!
- Wujiang Village's "restore as old" approach is amazing! Old houses have been transformed into teahouses and dye workshops, and even new buildings perfectly replicate Northern Guizhou style. The terraced fields are still cultivated by villagers, with produce going straight to scenic area restaurants - truly "from soil to table"!

📸 **[Photo Guide]**
1️⃣ **Daytime**: Wear Miao ethnic clothing and stand on the wind-rain bridge with stilt houses and the emerald Wujiang River as backdrop - instant ethnic masterpiece!
2️⃣ **Evening**: Watch the sunset from Huilong Island, with sunlight spilling across the river like an overturned palette~
3️⃣ **Night**: Drone light shows + water iron flower performances - so romantic words fail!

🚗 **[Transportation & Accommodation TIPS]**
✅ If driving, navigate to "Wujiang Village West Gate," then walk 10 minutes to the core area to save on shuttle fees!
✅ Highly recommend riverside guesthouses! Wake up to mountain and river views, fall asleep to the sound of flowing water 🌙 (slightly pricey but uniformly managed, so no bad surprises)

🌿 **Final Thoughts**
From Inner Mongolia's grasslands to Guizhou's mountains, Wujiang Village taught me what "poetic dwelling" truly means. There are no cookie-cutter commercial streets here, only the focus of heritage craftsmen, smiling faces around bonfires, and the harmony of river and history. If you're tired of urban noise, come to this "living museum" and be a mountain wanderer for a day~
