Such a quiet farming map will make the whole person particularly quiet and peaceful.

Standing on the observation deck, you can see the smoke rising from thousands of Miao families when they are cooking. Thousands of Miao families' diaojiao buildings are built on the mountain, with numerous layers and majestic atmosphere. You can shoot the top of the mountain from the foot of the mountain, and it's beautiful to shoot it casually. (Rent a Miao costume, and blend in with the majestic Miao village. )

Third, the introduction of scenic spots

Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village is located at the foot of Leigong Mountain in the northeast of Leishan County, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province. It is the largest Miao Village in China and the largest in the world.

It is 36 kilometers away from Leishan County, 33 kilometers away from the state capital of Qiandongnan, and about 280 kilometers away from Guiyang, the provincial capital. It is connected by more than ten natural villages built around mountains, surrounded by mountains, and connected with each other. The terraced fields are directly connected to the sky along the mountain, and the Baishui River passes through the village, dividing the Xijiang Miao Village into two parts.

Due to the limitation of cultivated land resources, Miao residents living here make full use of the topographical features here to build unique wooden diaojiao buildings in the Mid-levels. With the ups and downs of the terrain, more than 1,000 diaojiao buildings are mountainous and spectacular. Xijiang's annual Miao New Year Festival, Eating New Year Festival and once-in-13-year Tibetan Festival are famous all over the world. Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village is an open-air museum, displaying an epic of Miao development and becoming a grandstand for viewing and studying Miao traditional culture.

When visiting Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village, the following points are particularly important:

1. Respect the custom of Miao village: Miao people treat guests with wine, and hold a ceremony to stop drinking when welcoming tourists. In the most grand case, there are 12 drinks. If you can't drink enough, you should inform your host in advance. When drinking horn wine, remember not to pick it up with both hands, but to lower your head and take a sip to show respect. Miao people believe that drinking more wine is a respect for the host, so if you can't drink a lot, you'd better communicate in advance.

2. Don't hurt animals: Miao people love dogs very much, so they should avoid hitting or threatening dogs in Miao villages. Even if the local dog is small, it may roar, but generally it will not attack people.

3. Pay attention to walking etiquette: When walking in Miao village, you should avoid crossing between newlyweds and crossing the heads of Miao children. Miao people think that doing so may affect the height of children.

4. Leave politely: When you leave Miao Village, you should say "Wow Zhou" to the host politely, which is "thank you" in Miao language to express your gratitude for the warm hospitality.

5. Understand the custom of Miao Year: Miao Year is an important festival among Miao people. During this period, you should avoid sweeping the floor and pouring water, and you should not soak in water or blow air when eating. The violation of these customs may bode ill for the Miao people.

6. Respect for food culture: Miao people have specific rules for eating. For example, when eating chicken, chicken liver and chicken offal are usually presented to elderly women, while chicken legs are for children, and guests can eat chicken heads. These traditions should be respected in diet.
