Customs of Xijiang Miao Village
Yedong Village is specially equipped with explanations. There is the Xijiang Miao Museum here, which basically tells the development of the Miao people in this area. The top of the Miao Village is said to be the residence of the Miao King, who is unique to the Miao people. The Miao village still retains the drum head of its own clan.
On the top of the top of the Miao Village, there are many special B&Bs that like to choose their location. You can choose to stay here. From the highest point, you can perfectly overlook the entire Miao Village.
The King of the Mountain is doing as shown in the picture! Shan Da Wang is the title here, which has a slightly Jianghu flavor. Every year when important guests come to Xijiang, the village will arrange for Shan Da Wang to receive them. In his head, he can hold the most interesting Miao stories here. If you have the chance to meet him, you must let him tell those interesting things in a dragon gate formation.
He is simply a walking encyclopedia here. Whether it is the history and culture of the Miao people or the existence of living treasures in the village, every household likes to come to him to comment and comment on something. Resolve conflicts. If there is any news in the village here, don't tell him, someone will tell him.
In this village, Lao Wang can tell anecdotes about him and Gu Zangtou at any time, and he is still a natural tease.
Shan Dawang is basically a good guide now. He knows many things in southeastern Guizhou, not only Leishan, but also more things in the counties below Kaili. This is a travel guide around Xijiang, and he can also give you good suggestions.
The hunter's costume is his extremely unique costume. Hanging behind the bamboo pole is a very important wild bird in Guizhou, the golden pheasant. There is a dance in southeastern Guizhou called the Golden Rooster Dance. Wearing a hunter costume, the Mountain King holds the record for having the most photos taken of Xijiang. Visit Yedong Village with him and you will get a super high rate of return. The stories in his mouth can be told to you for a whole day!
Go deep into the Miao family and eat and drink together
Besides playing, eating is also a big deal. Eating is an important thing in Guizhou. The unique Miao cuisine is not the assembly line long table banquet on the commercial street in the scenic area, nor is it the bacon and glutinous rice that are difficult to distinguish from the authentic ones on the snack street.
As the old saying goes, if you have friends from Guizhou, you know best where the most authentic food is! The daily diet of the Miao people in local homes. Sit around the dining table with the locals, eat a bowl of food and drink a pot of wine. This is Leishan's famous long table banquet.
