In winter, Zhijin Cave is like a natural “steaming room”. Walking into this vast cave maze, you will be greeted by a warm breeze, and the temperature will increase as you go deeper. It almost includes all the types of formations found in caves around the world, and it is a genuine “karst museum”.

Xijiang Thousand Households Miao Village is a place you want to visit after seeing the photos.

As the name suggests, it is a Miao Village with a strong ethnic atmosphere. On the way to the village, the legends about Miaojiang have been circling in my mind. Facts have also proved that you can satisfy all your fantasies about Miaojiang here.

Xijiang Thousand Households Miao Village is now home to more than 6,000 Miao people, with 1432 households, and the Miao population accounts for 99.5% of the total population, so it is known as the “Thousand Households Miao Village”.

The Miao Village is surrounded by mountains on all sides, with towering mountains and terraced fields that follow the mountains and connect directly to the sky. The Baishui River flows through the village, dividing Xijiang Miao Village into two. The stilt houses in the village are stacked on top of each other, built along the mountain, and are contiguous, majestic and grand. The Miao people’s farming, festivals, silver ornaments, songs and dances, and their ancient customs are passed down from generation to generation here. “Answer everything with beauty, know the Miao villages of the world in Xijiang”, Mr. Yu Qiuye found the most wonderful gathering of the world in this space surrounded by green mountains. You can find it here too.
