How to play in Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village? This is a common question for tourists who want to go to Miao Village. I just happened to have just returned from Miao Village, so I will share my feelings with you below:
————————————————————
- Look at three pictures to get to know Qianhu Miao Village
🔺This is the official tour map of Qianhu Miao Village. Several important locations have been enlarged. From this picture, you can get a “bird’s eye view” of Qianhu Miao Village. When you are inside the scenic area, it will be clearer if you look at the pictures closer. You can only understand the general meaning by looking at them here.
🔺This picture is a panoramic view of Qianhu Miao Village. You can see the “Big North Gate” where you get off the bus, take the bus to the “Little North Gate”, and then enter the scenic spot. From “No. 1 Fengyuqiao Bus Stop” to the “Observation Deck”. There is also Xizhaimen, which is generally not involved.
🔺This picture is my optimized location map of the scenic spots. The following explanations are inseparable from this picture.

- Important places (attractions) involved in the tour
🔺Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village is the largest Miao village in the world. It is formed by more than ten natural villages connected together. Even though it is so “big”, you will have a new “experience” after visiting!
⭐”Dabeimen” is the stopping point for out-of-town shuttle buses and the entrance and exit to the Miao Village. “Xizhaimen” is also the entrance and exit. There is no shuttle bus and few people use it. The viewing platform of the “Observation Platform Station” is the highest place to view the Miao Village, with the best night view. No. 7 Fengyu Bridge is at the “Xiaobeimen Bus Stop”. No. 1 Fengyu Bridge is the departure point for the “Observation Deck” ride. The seven wind and rain bridges No. ❶ to No. ❼ of the Miao Village span the “Baishui River” and are the scenic spots of the Miao Village.
⭐”Great North Gate”: The main entrance and exit to the Miao Village is the terminal and starting point of long-distance buses. Most tourists enter the Miao Village through this “Great North Gate”.
⭐”Big North Gate” to “Little North Gate”: If you spend 20 yuan to buy scenic transportation, you can take the scenic transportation 4 times. Usually, there is a round trip between “Big North Gate” and “Little North Gate”; a round trip between “No. 1 Fengyu Bridge” and “Observation Deck”.
⭐”Observation Deck”: It is the highest viewing platform for shooting and viewing the entire Miao Village, especially the night scene of the Miao Village is best shot, the time is after the sun sets and before the night becomes dark, when the lights are on. At this time, the sky appears “sapphire blue” color.
⭐”Fengyu Bridge”: Fengyu Bridge No. ❶~❼ is the scenic spot of Miao Village. These seven bridges are all very close to each other, and it only takes a few minutes to get from one bridge to another. It takes 20 minutes to walk from No. ❶ Fengyu Bridge to No. ❼ Fengyu Bridge, so you should “take your time” when visiting! Fengyu Bridge No. ❽ is newly built and is not marked on the official map.
⭐”Traffic within the village”: There are no sightseeing vehicles between No. 1 Fengyu Bridge and No. 7 Fengyu Bridge, but there are “villager service vehicles” passing through for villagers to travel and deliver goods. In addition, other vehicles are No traffic allowed.
⭐”Pastoral Scenery”: In the fields on the south side of No. 1 Fengyu Bridge, there are also cockfighting and other performances. Best shot in the morning.
⭐ “Snack Street”: It is located on the east side of No. ❹ Fengyu Bridge and No. ❺ Fengyu Bridge. It is the busiest at night.
⭐”Performance Activities”: See the picture below for details of the performance location. The “Lusheng Field” has continuous performances of folk songs and dances during the day, and is very quiet at night; the “Performance Field” is closed, and there are paid performances at night, but before the opening, there is a solicitation display outside.
⭐”Miao Nationality Museum”: On the north side of the “Lusheng Field”, you can visit for free by swiping your ID card. It has two floors and is worth a visit.
⭐”Expo Forest”: The nearby Baishui River has the best scenery on both sides, and there are many shops that rent Miao clothing. This is also the entrance to the “viewing platform” on foot.
⭐”Xizhaimen”: It is the west entrance and exit of Qianhu Miao Village. If you want to return to other places by car, you need to take a bus at Dabeimen. ————————————————————
- Photography “Guide”
🔺This is the Great North Gate, where you have to pass when entering and exiting the Miao Village. The Miao girls have prepared free wine and tea, so don’t drink anything you don’t want!
🔺This is the entrance gate. If you buy tickets in advance, you need to enter from here and take the sightseeing bus to the Xiaobei Gate.
🔺This is the small north gate, which is also the location of No. 7 Fengyu Bridge. After getting off the bus, you can directly enter the Miao Village. When you come back, you can take the bus from here to Dabeimen.
🔺This is the “Lusheng Field” from the center of the Miao Village. There are programs during the day and it is quiet at night.
🔺Seven Fengyu Bridges (in fact, there is a newly built No. 8 Fengyu Bridge to the south of No. 1 Fengyu Bridge) across the Baishui River. No. 3 Fengyu Bridge to No. 5 Fengyu Bridge are the highlights.
🔺Rural scenery.
🔺The Miao Museum on the second floor is right next to the gate of the Lusheng Field. You can enter for free by swiping your ID card.
🔺Above and below No. 4 Fengyu Bridge is a good place to take pictures of Miao costumes.
🔺The viewing platform halfway up the mountain offers a panoramic view of the Miao Village.
🔺The night scenery is very beautiful to take in the evening.
🔺When you encounter a waterfall, you can use your mobile phone to take pictures of the “water atomization” effect. The method is: open the phone camera → More → Streamer Shutter → Silk Water → Shoot for a few seconds and it will be OK.
🔺There is a paid ethnic song and dance performance (performance venue) in the evening. We will do some promotion before the performance, so you can take photos as you like.
🔺When I went home, I went back to Dabeimen and had another glass of free wine.
🔺On the return trip, go to Kaili High-speed Railway Station or Zhenyuan Ancient City, buy a ticket at the Smile House next to Dabeimen Square and get on the train.
🔺There are many performances in Miao Village, you can choose by yourself. The best tour time is two and a half days. Accommodation is not the best option to check on-site during the peak season, otherwise it will easily cause the inn you book to be on a hillside, which will be troublesome.
