I really don't recommend visiting Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village.

I recently visited Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village and discovered that the wooden houses here have poor sound insulation! Most of the homestays in the village are traditional stilt houses with thin wooden partition walls. You can clearly hear the sounds of talking and walking next door. If you encounter noisy neighbors, you won't be able to sleep well at night. Fortunately, I did thorough research before going. For those who haven't been here, this guide will definitely help you. It covers popular attractions and practical information. 🗼Transportation to Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village ①Fly directly to Guiyang Longdongbao International Airport ✈️. The waiting hall is spacious and bright with complete facilities. While waiting, you can visit the specialty stores and try Guizhou spicy chicken to experience the local flavor in advance. Transfer from the airport to Kaili South Railway Station by high-speed rail, and then take the scenic spot direct bus to Miao Village. The journey is smooth. Remember to book tickets in advance for a hassle-free trip. If there are no direct flights, transferring from nearby Liping Airport is also convenient. You can transfer to Miao Village by bus or high-speed rail. ②Train/Railway Station: Kaili South Railway Station has many trains to all parts of the country. The station is spacious and bright, and transfers are convenient. After exiting the station, there are various means of transportation such as scenic spot direct buses and taxis directly to Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village. Remember to buy tickets in advance during peak tourist seasons. 🗼Accommodation Reference 🧸[Near the Viewing Platform] There are various accommodation options, ranging from characteristic homestays to high-end hotels. Here, you can overlook the entire Miao Village. At night, when thousands of lights are on, it looks like a galaxy falling into the world. Wake up in the morning surrounded by clouds and mist. If you want to experience the beautiful scenery of Miao Village immediately, this is the perfect choice. However, you need to book in advance during peak tourist seasons, and prices may fluctuate. 🧸[Near the Ancient Street] If you want an immersive experience of Miao Village life, this is the right place. The surrounding homestays are full of ethnic characteristics. When you open the window, you can see villagers in Miao costumes coming and going. Just outside the door is the bustling ancient street where you can taste delicacies such as sour soup fish and Miao rice wine, and buy handicrafts such as silver jewelry and Miao embroidery. It's very convenient, but the wooden houses have slightly poor sound insulation. 🧸[Outskirts of Miao Village] If you yearn for a quiet environment and are looking for cost-effective accommodation, you must come here. The surrounding accommodations are mainly ordinary inns with affordable prices and convenient transportation. After a day of sightseeing, return to your accommodation and fall asleep in tranquility, as if in a paradise. However, it is a bit far from the core scenic spots. It's perfect for tourists who don't have high requirements for accommodation and focus more on the sightseeing experience. 🗼Popular Attractions 🗳Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village: In April, Miao Village is full of spring.
