Guizhou line (4): the legend of the mountains - Xijiang thousand households Miaozhai

Small seven holes scenic area to the Xijiang thousand households Miaozhai 220 kilometers about 3 hours away, we arrived at the north gate of the Miaozhai scenic area at about 8:00 p.m. At this time around the parking lot are basically full of several, the plaza are dragging luggage backpacks to run to the night scene of the tourists! It is said that from the front door to the real gate will also take half an hour of sightseeing bus, I hurriedly pack up things, only a shoulder bag, and rushed to go to the ticket queue waiting for the bus to rush to the observation platform

Miaozhai wind and rain bridge at night is the most beautiful scenery, lights reflecting the light, lights and shadows in the river jumping, in the Miao such wind and rain bridge there are seven, the fourth, the fifth two can be reached by foot on the top of the hill to the observation platform, and if you want to take the sightseeing bus can only be in the first, the first, the last, the last, the last, the last, the last, the last, the last and the last. If you want to take a sightseeing car can only be in the first bridge

The night road conditions are not familiar, we chose to take the car up the mountain, the car a northeastern woman is with a friend video: guess where we are ah? The first time I've ever seen a woman in a car, she was in the middle of a video with a friend. Uh-huh? I was in a bit of a trance and didn't know where I was. The sightseeing car all the way uphill, ten minutes or so to the observation deck

This time the Miao Village has become a sea of lights, you can see the Miao Village presents the shape of the bull's head. But if you want to avoid the crowds, find a better angle to shoot this beautiful scenery is still difficult

So we decided to stay next to the inn, drink a little wine with dinner and then watch the scenery

This decision is not too wise, yo, and then the owner of the inn told us that the roof of her balcony than the observation deck is also higher than the five or six meters, it is the best location to watch the scene

The most beautiful From the roof of the building to see the Miao village, the fog in the mist as a ink painting

There is no endless stream of tourists on the street at this time, I was walking alone, enjoying the tranquility of the morning ......

The paths, cooking smoke, fields, constituting a tranquil idyllic painting

About time, Mr. The first thing you need to do is to get up, and then slowly sneak back to the inn, and enjoy the quiet time of the Miao Village with him

Xijiang Thousand Households Miao Village is a place to preserve the "original ecological" culture of the Miao people intact, by more than 10 natural villages built on the mountain connected to a piece, is currently China's and even the world's largest village of the Miao people living. The Whitewater River divides the village into two, one side is a commercial street and the other side is an inn and a viewing platform overlooking the village

Hanging footstools are traditional buildings unique to the Miao ethnic group, with the back part built on a sloping hillside and the front part supported by wooden pillars to form hanging footstools, so they are called "hanging footstools. From the inn, we walked along the green stone path, crossed the wind and rain bridge, and came to the ancient commercial street

There are small stores here, full of commercial atmosphere like many ancient towns, but those hammock-style wooden houses are not losing the characteristics of the Miao family

Lusheng Square, the place where songs and dances were performed during the festivals and celebrations, has now become a stage for me to play on alone

On the opposite side of the square is the Xijiang Miao Museum, which is a museum introducing the Miao ethnic group in Xi Jiang. Xijiang Miao Museum is the most comprehensive place to introduce the culture of the Miao people

The museum has a hammock building and 11 exhibition halls. There are 11 exhibition halls inside the museum, including the Hall of Living Customs, the Hall of Hmong Medicine, the Hall of Silver Jewelry and Costumes, etc.

From the museum is the entrance to the Yedong Village, and there is a sign indicating that the Drum Zangtou's house is located at the top of the highest part of the hill

The "Live Lu Tou's house" is said to be the "Minister of Agriculture" of the village, who arranges the agricultural production. "

The road to Gulzangtou's house is all uphill, and it's not easy to be physically fit

The current Gulzangtou is called Tang Shoucheng, or "King of the Miao," and is about 50 years old. He's responsible for the Hmong rituals and for the sacred drums, which are the same drums that are inside the Gulzangtou Hall. Into these hillside lanes, look at the original Miao village home, feel such a simple and ancient, in fact, this is the purest thing in the Miao village, these footstools in the serenity of the life with no competition, so that you have a yearning ......

Some of the graffiti will be a bright spot, the group picture is very ethnic characteristics

around the circle After going down the hill, you are again in the ancient street, along the river is a street of snacks. Look: this is on the "tip of the tongue of China" of the Miao village specialties - hairy tofu

Mao tofu is through artificial fermentation, so that the surface of the tofu grows a layer of white velvet. Because of the fermentation of tofu, the plant protein is converted into a variety of amino acids, so the cooking flavor is quite fresh

And my favorite bacon, almost every meal in Guizhou must be ordered

There are two performances a day by the local Miao compatriots of the ethnic song and dance program "Beautiful Xijiang", the morning session of the morning session will start in half an hour, we ate as we walked toward the performance venue

The performance is very local.

The show is very local color, gorgeous costumes, cheerful songs and dances and beautiful love stories can make you more understanding of the humanities of the Miao

Song and dance show time half an hour, and finally in the chorus of "I love my motherland" in the successful conclusion!

If you ask me how Xijiang Thousand Households Miao Village is, Mr. Yu Qiuyu said, "Answer everything with beauty, see Xijiang to know the world of Miao Village"!
