I Thought Jiangnan Was Beautiful! Until I Came to Guizhou...

I Finally Found a Real-Life Shangri-La! Want to escape the crowds this May Day holiday? Visit this hidden ancient village with stilted buildings. In the morning, open your window to a scene straight from an ink painting - misty mountains, dark-tiled roofs, and small boats gently rocking on the rippling lake. At night, the dazzling lights transform the village into a world reminiscent of "Spirited Away." 📍Wujiang Village International Tourism Resort Transportation Guide: 🚄Take the high-speed train to "Zunyi Station" or "Zunyi South Station," then take the direct shuttle bus to the scenic area or a taxi. 🚗If driving, navigate to "Wujiang Village International Tourism Resort." You can enter through either the East or West Village entrance (the main entrance is at the East Village). Wujiang Village Travel Tips: ✔️Handicraft Experiences: Try intangible cultural heritage activities like bamboo weaving, lantern making, tie-dyeing, traditional papermaking, and more. ✔️Boat Tours: Take a paddle boat ride across the green waters, feeling as if you're floating through a painting. ✔️River Lanterns: As night falls, light a river lantern at the bamboo raft dock and make a wish. Wujiang Village Special Performances: ✔️Single Bamboo Drift: A performance straight out of martial arts novels where performers appear to use qinggong (lightness skill) to stand on bamboo poles floating in the river. ✔️Drone Light Show: Breathtaking! The drone light show in the night sky is absolutely stunning. ✔️Iron Flower Show: A dazzling visual feast of sparks and fire meeting water. ✔️Bonfire Party: Join hands with others and dance joyfully around the bonfire in a lively atmosphere. What to Eat? The village offers many Guizhou specialties like lamb rice noodles, crispy rice cakes, sour fish soup, and more. Where to Stay? We stayed at the Qian Academy inside the scenic area, which features a traditional style. You can also experience wearing Miao ethnic costumes there.
