There are large parking lots outside the west gate and north gate, priced at 3 yuan/hour and 30 yuan/day, so you don’t have to worry about parking.
As for whether to take the west gate or the north gate, it mainly depends on which gate the accommodation is closest to, because usually you have to bring your suitcase to stay one night in Qianhu Miao Village. There is a commercial street to go from the parking lot (ticket office) to the ticket office, but it is not long.
Ximenmen Commercial Street
Tickets are 100 yuan, free for seniors over 60 years old, and the fare is 20 yuan (valid within 2 days and can be used four times). Except for the slightly longer distance from the ticket gate to the village (it only takes more than ten minutes to walk), there is no need to take a car in the village. It is more enjoyable to walk on the small roads (except for the elderly), so I only used 2 of the 4 times I took the bus. times (one time each time in and out of the village). If you don’t have any large luggage, you can save on fares.
The village is not very big and is relatively commercialized. A bowl of beef noodles costs RMB 15, and the cheapest noodles cost RMB 10. The snack street is okay. If you want to eat special food, it is recommended to try the top-ranked restaurants on the Dianping APP.
Internet celebrity fish in sour soup is 148 a pot, stir-fried yellow beef is 58, special tofu, and stir-fried wild vegetables, the total is 278, which is not bad for four people.
However, Guizhou cuisine is quite picky. The taste of wood ginger oil and Houttuynia cordata root (Zheer root) is quite unique, so not everyone likes it.

I drove from Anshun to Qianhu Miao Village that day. I arrived at the gate at around 1pm, stayed one night, and left for Xiaoqikong around 8pm the next day. Personally, I think Qianhu Miao Village is just fine to stay for one night. Find a reliable hotel, have a “big meal”, and wander around the village. 😁
