The group warehouses are arranged in an orderly way, and the group warehouses are more fashionable against the backdrop of rows of hanging wooden buildings. The whole water granary is made of Chinese fir, and the columns of each granary vary in size, ranging from 35 cm to about 30 cm in diameter at breast height. The column should be padded with square stones, and the rock footing should be higher than the water surface. Over the years, many warehouses in the pond have rotted into inverted bottlenecks, but the core of the column is still strong. The big pond with warehouse covers an area of more than 3300 square meters, which is convenient for villagers to enter and leave the warehouse. It is "divided" into several blocks according to the warehouse ranking, but it is orderly and patchy.
Xinqiao Miao Village still retains a large number of strange and practical "water granaries". These granaries are built in the pond of the village. They are all wooden structures, and the bottom stands on the stone pier above the water. The wooden grain warehouse is scientifically built in the pond, which is unique, fire-proof and rat-proof. At the same time, fish, geese and ducks can also be raised in the pond, killing two birds with one stone. Water granaries are located in the village, and their number is unique in China.
Golden Rooster Dance Xinqiao Village also has a unique national dance-Golden Rooster Dance, which is a traditional sacrificial dance performed by middle-aged Miao women on Tongguping accompanied by bronze drums and lusheng, fully demonstrating the Miao people's worship and yearning for bird totems since ancient times. When dancing, Miao women will wear gorgeous silver ornaments, black tops, many colored edges at the waist, silver medals and colored long skirts, gorgeous feathers hanging at both ends like a golden rooster, and the padding on the buttocks is as high as the tail feathers of the golden rooster. According to reports, during the dance, more than a dozen Miao women will dance in a circle, and the dance moves slowly, imitating the golden pheasant "pacing", "rotating" or "flying" in the forward or backward dance steps.
