Accommodation tips💭 When visiting the Miao Village, be sure to ask if there is a luggage service when booking a homestay, as you will need to walk on your own in the scenic area, and the downhill road is steep with steps, so it is easy to fall when carrying your luggage!

Tips💓 If you have any questions, feel free to ask the locals! They will be happy to help you! Have fun😀

Hanamiyama under the mountain Shop 1, G/F, Shun Tai Building, Western District In Sai Ying Pun's neighborhood shop, there are many family customers when you enter, it has the warm warm feeling of the shop🥺 Deli fried sushi is available, both adults and children have something to eat. The shopkeeper recommends tamagoyaki, pot and sushi platter. Hanami 10-kwan, the sushi rice already has soy sauce, no need to order extra, this time the toro is very thick and sweet, the seaweed is very fresh and sweet! Golden line bream for the first time, the meat is quite bouncy, and oily fish specially served with grapefruit sauce, folded not strange but also lift the freshness of the fish ~ The mint chicken wings are also great, very full and stuffed chicken wings, the crust is very crispy and the inside is hot, I want to encore! ! Instead, tofu mixed vegetable pot and eel tamagoyaki is a bit disappointing, the pot of tofu has roasted quite heart, but the soup is nothing special, it is like the dormitory themselves can cook so, tamagoyaki is older, more like an omelet, eel also has a lot of small bones, anyway these two will not be next time. #wintertrip #countryside #foodie

Kaili is home to one of the biggest ethnic Miao villages in China and, thankfully, it’s very accessible to visit. A bus ride from the city centre, the ethnic village is located between the hills so there’s plenty of opportunities to get an aerial perspective. Historic on the outside but still nice on the inside, many of the buildings have been converted for the tourist flock - whether it be bougie hotels, nice cafes or decent places to stop and get some snacks the visit should be fairly easy. As with all of Guizhou, getting off the beaten track and exploring how deep into the alleyways you can get is always the best way forward. #historicculture#ancientarchitecture#café#museumquest#hipsterbookstore#culturalattractions#hiking

Do you dare to try the high mountains of the Miao? The idiom "mountain flowing water" comes from "Lie Zi Tang Wen", which is like a confidant or a companion, but also a beautiful music. In the Miao family, all visitors are guests, but when there are VIPs arriving at home, Miao will receive the highest courtesy and toast to the guests. This way of toasting is called mountain flow. At the Miao long table feast, the guests ate half, the Miao Amei will toast and Zhu Xing, the wine glass is holding, the song is ringing, "You like to drink, do not like to drink, do you like it? Like, but also drink!" These pictures have already shown the meaning of "mountain flowing water". The wine bowl is delivered to the mouth. The guest can't touch the wine bowl with his hands. He is fed by the Miao girl. If the guest touches the wine bowl, it is considered to be a violation of the rules. Drink it, then come back to the second bowl. The Miao family thinks that a big bowl of drinking and a large piece of meat can have a good body to protect the Miao Amei, "mountain flow" is also a test of time, so you are bold enough to come!

There are more than 2,100 people in the Lisha people, which is a branch of the black scorpion. It is said to be the descendant of the third son of Chiyou. Their ancestors fled to settle here, and the hardships and beliefs made them unique. The people of Zhangsha worship the forest and think that the soul of the ancestors is attached to the tree. As a result, rare species that have grown for hundreds of years can be found everywhere in the village. In order to protect the forest, the ancestors set the rules, and the man had to keep a long hair on his head. The Shasha man loves to arm, and he will bring a waist knife and a shotgun when he goes out. In order to respect their customs, the relevant departments approved a special approval to allow each of the sands men to have a shotgun. But how many mysterious stories are there in the sands, no one can make it clear... Men carry seven pieces of equipment: firearms, wine cellars, machete, pipe, gunpowder gourd, purse, flower bag, After pondering, this equipment can be regarded as just having softness. The flower bag is probably sent by the sweetheart, and the combination of embroidery and dyeing is quite fine. The gun was squatting on the shoulder, the flower bag was slanting back, and the other equipment of the wine cellar machete was neatly hung on the waistband of the belt; wearing a black high-waisted coat with a rounded copper buckle on the left and right, a large trousers with straight legs, and a pair of big feet; Resolute and generous, holding the vertebrae on the top of his head, wrapped around a strip of headscarf, and escaped from a Warring States warrior.

Next to the Kaili State Government, opposite the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital and Apple Mountain, the location is excellent👍 I originally wanted to book a cultural and tourism hotel (opposite) at three times the price, but the business trip really has limited deductions, it's too expensive and I have to pay for it myself😓 But it was my first time in #Guizhou and I wanted to feel more comfortable.

#Mainland Travel Xiasi Ancient Town is located in Kaili City, Qiandongnan Prefecture, Guizhou Province, adjacent to the Qingshui River. It was built during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than 600 years. As an important post station on the ancient Miaojiang Plank Road and the Ancient Tea-Horse Road, it was once known as "Little Shanghai" due to its prosperous water transportation. It integrates the architectural styles of the Miao, Dong, Han, Western and Hui styles, and was rated as a national AAAA-level scenic spot in 2017. The ancient town retains bluestone roads, ancient docks, guild halls and stilt houses, presenting a unique charm of the interweaving of diverse cultures. Transportation Self-driving: Starting from downtown Guiyang, drive along the Shanghai-Kunming Expressway (G60) for about 120 kilometers, a 2-hour drive. High-speed rail: Take the high-speed rail from Guiyang East Station to Kaili South Station (about 40 minutes), then take a taxi or bus (Line 17, Line 202) and arrive in 20 minutes. Must-see attractions Wind and Rain Bridge and Qingshui River Cruise: The Wind and Rain Bridge across the river is the best place to take photos, and you can take a ride on an antique cruise to experience the grand scene of the bustling merchant ships of the past. Lusheng Square: Experience the Miao Lusheng dance. During festivals, there are also ethnic song and dance performances and dragon boat races. Yangming Academy: A Ming Dynasty building that showcases Wang Yangming's philosophy of mind.

Intangible Cultural Heritage Experience: Learn batik and silver forging at Workshop Street, or watch traditional handmade noodles being made at Noodle Street. Specialties Sour Soup Fish: A famous dish in Southeast Guizhou. We recommend Wangjiang Restaurant to try the yellow croaker sour soup pot. Xiasi noodles: Handmade with 24 steps, served with colorful noodles in vegetable sauce, chewy and smooth. Blueberry ice jelly: the first choice for cooling off in summer, a blend of blueberries and brown sugar water, sweet and thirst-quenching. Accommodation Recommendations Most of the homestays in the ancient town are converted from old houses, such as "Jiuqi·Boyue" and "Tonghe Courtyard", etc. The price is about 200-400 yuan per night, and you can enjoy the river view or the tranquility of the courtyard. Useful Tips Tickets and time: The ancient town is open to the public free of charge, and some exhibition halls require tickets (such as Yangming Academy). The opening hours are mostly from 9:00 to 17:00. Dressing suggestions: Wear non-slip shoes as the cobblestone road is slippery; wear sunscreen and mosquito repellent in summer and warm clothes in winter. Photography time: The ancient bridge and the stilt house are best photographed in the early morning mist or in the evening when the lights start to come on. Precautions Respect the customs of ethnic minorities and do not photograph residents or religious sites without permission. Some ancient buildings have fallen into disrepair over the years. Please do not enter dangerous areas without permission. Xiasi Ancient Town has both the vicissitudes of a commercial port and the simplicity of the Miao and Dong people. It is suitable for a one-day wandering or two-day immersion. Stroll along the riverside, listen to the gurgling water, savor the lingering charm of history, and feel the quiet beauty of time standing still.

The best way to get to know a place is by visiting its local market. Kaili Market is one such place. Unfortunately, we didn't get to experience the market day (Saturdays and Sundays). However, we still saw some people in local ethnic costumes running their businesses in the market. If you get tired of walking around, you can try a large bowl of rice noodles with mutton for CNY 8 or a large bowl of bone soup for CNY 10 at one of the snack bars next to the market. You can even get a soup refill, which is pretty good.
