Where is Xijiang Miao Village?
Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village is located in Xijiang Town, Leishan County, Guizhou Province, with 1300 households and more than 6,000 people, and the Miao population accounts for 99.5% of the total population. This is the settlement of the fifth Miao migration in the history of China, with a history of 1700 years. It is the largest Miao settlement in China and even in the world, and it is also the largest Miao village in the world.
Xijiang means "a haunted place" in Miao language, which comes from a bitter history of Miao nationality. For thousands of years, under the control of the Han nationality, Miao people have been forced to live in mountainous areas, but they are still harassed from time to time. As far as strength is concerned, Miao people can't beat Han people. They figured out a way to scare off the enemy by playing tricks.
This is a place to go back to nature, suitable for quiet people. Sitting on the diaojiao building of Miao family, leaning against the beauty, listening to the sounds of nature and drinking a cup of fragrant Miao family rice wine is really pleasant.
