Fang Qicheng is not lying to me. Let's feel the blue of Southeast Guizhou together.

🔵It is a little-known Miao village that inherits a long history of intangible cultural heritage. It is a well-known in China's intangible cultural heritage town, gathering 7 national-level intangible cultural heritages. It is difficult to find a small town that can tell the beauty of the East so vividly. This is Danzhai, Guizhou. Its most famous intangible cultural heritage includes Danzhai batik, handmade papermaking from plants, Kala birdcages, Miao embroidery, silver forging, oil-paper umbrellas, etc. 🔵Danzhai batik, the most famous of which is Paimo Miao Village. Batik production mainly uses natural patterns, with flowers, birds, fish and insects as materials, and the finished products are very popular among travel enthusiasts. Paimo Village, known as the "First Dyeing Village in the East", is one of the birthplaces of Miao batik. With the skillful hands of the women in the village, cloth is used as the canvas, wax knife as the brush and indigo grass as the paint. From youth to old age, they paint the precious treasures of ethnic minorities. This touch of oriental blue comes from the indigo extracted from the root of the plant Isatis indigotica. Unlike any artificial dye, it is natural and beautiful. 🔵You can also visit the Shiqiao Ancient Papermaking Cultural Tourism Scenic Area to learn about the production process of the national intangible cultural heritage "Shiqiao Ancient Papermaking". Shiqiao Village is known as the "Hometown of Ancient Chinese Papermaking". The village is quite far away. The Shiqiao Ancient Papermaking Cave Base is a natural cave where you can experience papermaking and papermaking with mulberry bark. 📜All batik workshops: Recommended are Oubaolang Batik Experience Hall, Guizhou Danzhai Mingxiu Batik Workshop, and Ninghang Batik Museum. 📜Whether it is weddings, funerals, festivals, or ancestral ceremonies, the white-collar Miao women always wear solemn and elegant batik dresses. 📜For thousands of years, they have faithfully followed the ancient customs and recorded an indispensable page in the epic of human creation in their own way. 🔵"China's Birdcage Hometown" Kala Village In Kala Village, Danzhai, Guizhou, you can see traces of birdcage making in every household. The Karawu cages they make are sturdy, durable and do not deform. More than 500 years of history are intertwined in the weaving, and the skills have been passed down and protected between the hands of successive generations. You can also sit down and experience the fun of weaving. (But bird cages and batik are not in Danzhai) 🔵Danzhai has Maojian Tea Mountain. During the tea picking season, you can go there to feel the lingering fragrance of tea. The little bit of green refreshes your taste buds. 🔵Danzhai County is full of ethnic life. This visit to Danzhai changed my previous misunderstandings. 1️⃣ The Miao ethnic group is divided into many branches. The Danzhai we visited this time was once one of the eight villages, or it is said that there are eight types of Miao. As Mr. Yu Qiuyu said, the Miao people call themselves "descendants of Chiyou". The first thing you see when you enter the town is "Yougong Square". 2️⃣ The ancient papermaking method in Shiqiao Village. The driver I met when I left Danzhai told me that the ancient papermaking method can repair cultural relics. 3️⃣Kala Village, which is closest to Danzhai, is most famous for its "Dan Cage". The whole village is surrounded by mountains. Since the cage is not easily damaged, not many people know about this handicraft. The inheritance of handicraft culture is extremely difficult. The craftsmanship of the craftsmen and the persistence of every handicraft inheritor are not only a hobby, but also a spirit. 🔵Whether it is Miao embroidery, batik, ancient papermaking or Danlong, it is a gathering place in the small town, so as Fang Qi said, "There is no other small town that can tell the oriental beauty so vividly." 🌳Attractions | Danzhai Wanda Town (no tickets required) 📍Address | Danzhai County, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province 🚗Transportation | Self-driving parking is very convenient 🚄High-speed rail: Guiyang North Station ~ Kaili South Station/Sandu County Station
