Important words written before: 1. Things about mosquito prevention: Guizhou is located on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, and there are many mosquitoes due to dense forests. The four seasons are the same, so we must pay attention to mosquito prevention. The author is a legendary mosquito attractor and has been bitten for many years. I have tried countless kinds of mosquito repellent lotions, and I sincerely recommend us an anti-mosquito lotion (it’s really not an advertisement): American OFF Mosquito Repellent Water, in a green bottle. It can basically prevent mosquitoes for 8 hours, and it is effective in personal testing.
- Regarding travel time: Guizhou has different scenery in four seasons. We can choose the time at will, but try to avoid the rainy season.
- Travel mode: Guizhou’s high-speed rail lines are spread throughout the province, which is very convenient. This time I chose to take the high-speed rail directly from Kunming to Kaili, which takes about 3 hours. After arriving in Kaili, you can choose to charter a car or take a shuttle bus to Qianhu Miao Village in Xijiang. The cost of chartering a car is about 100 yuan. Return to Kaili the next day, arrive in Kaili

The ancient town recommends choosing a B&B near Xindaqiao. It is relatively quiet and the scenery is not bad.

- About the cost: For two people traveling, the hotel cost a total of 1,094 yuan (three nights), and the tickets cost a total of 1,605 yuan (I couldn’t buy tickets during the Dragon Boat Festival, so I chose a first-class seat. It would be cheaper if we bought the tickets in advance), plus The cost of various other meals, souvenirs, etc. is about 2,350 yuan per person. During the three-day Dragon Boat Festival holiday, I decided to go to Guizhou after discussing with my friends. To change my mind, I took the high-speed train from Kunming South to Kaili South. The whole journey takes about 3 hours. Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village is high in the mountains and the road is far away, so for children with little luggage, We try to travel with a backpack, otherwise your hands will be numb…
Take a taxi from Kaili South to Qianhu Miao Village in Xijiang. After passing through the rugged mountain road to the Miao Village, you can take pictures of the scenery outside the window of the inn.
Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village is the settlement of the Miao people. Legend has it that it was founded by Chi You after a hound found a suitable rice field for sowing. This time we took root and built houses one after another, forming the appearance of a thousand households. It is known as It is the first Miao village in the world. Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village
Thousands of lights, dotted with stars, the sound of singing and dancing in the distance, the starlight in front of you, the dual enjoyment of hearing and vision may make you forget your worries temporarily.
The small shops on the roadside are covered with green plants and decorated with lights, making them particularly conspicuous.
In the half-darkness, I accidentally looked up and saw a wonderful view in front of me.
Get up early in the morning, open the window, and the scenery in front of you can’t help but take out your camera to take pictures. The smoke from the kitchen in the distance adds a mysterious atmosphere to the Miao Village, just like the paradise described in novels.

The ancient town is reached from Kaili Railway Station
Zhenyuan
It takes about an hour to arrive at the station because the train is late.
Zhenyuan
It was already late at night, and the enthusiastic boss came to greet us at the city gate, took our luggage, and said as if complaining: “Why did we get here? I thought something happened on the way.”
My friend and I looked at each other and smiled, but we instantly felt affection for this town.
There are three hotel rooms in this B&B. Each building is unused and decorated. It is very clean and the scenery is very good~
After dinner, we walked slowly along the Wuyang River. The lights shining on the lake were also a different scene.
Yuping Mountain scenery
Because it rained the next day, we could only rest in the room. After the rain stopped in the afternoon, we went from Zhusheng Bridge to Yuping Mountain. The ticket is 30 yuan, but there are rumors that there is a trail from the ancient city that can be combined with the ticket, but I didn’t find it so I had to buy a ticket and go up the mountain.
My friend strongly requested to take a picture of my back
What are you looking at, little sister?
Um? Gone
After coming down from the mountain and walking through the alleys in the ancient town, a “Yuanjia Tofu” appeared in front of me. The hand-ground bean curd has a delicate taste and is recommended to us.
Salty tofu pudding feels better than sweet tofu pudding😋

Zhenyuan
There is a custom of dragon boat racing during the Dragon Boat Festival. It is a pity that the time has been postponed for the sake of college entrance examination students. I hope I can watch it next time.

the last day,
Zhenyuan
It still rained heavily for us, but walking in the rain is still interesting.
In the end, the trip was rushed and coupled with the onset of the rainy season, there were always some unsatisfactory places in the trip.
The book says that what matters when traveling is the people you travel with. If you think about it carefully, it is true. Traveling with friends is always a good mood.
