Having seen many high-rise buildings and man-made landscapes in the city,

As soon as I entered the Millennium Yao Village, I felt very cordial and rare.

More than 8 ancient buildings are permeated with plain charm,

People unconsciously slow down and take a deep breath.

The Millennium Yao Village needs no deliberate carving.

It still retains its original simple appearance, and

silently waits for the arrival of the right person.

After three and a half hours' drive, we finally arrived at the Millennium Yaozhai, a paradise.

Nangang Yaozhai, which carries a thousand-year civilization, is located in Sanpai Town, Yao Autonomous County, Liannan County, Qingyuan. It can be called Millennium Yaozhai, because it was founded in the Song Dynasty and has a history of more than 1, years!

Although it has experienced thousands of years of wind and rain, today's Millennium Yaozhai still retains 398 ancient buildings built in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Time seems to have stood still, and the Millennium Yaozhai, which is not rich in commercial flavor, is still a quiet look.

According to experts' research, Nangang Millennium Yao Village is the largest, oldest and most distinctive Yao Village in China.

She is built on a hillside more than 8 meters high, and the height of each front room and back room is patchy, so every household can see the picturesque karst landscape in front of the door and surrounded by mountains.

Seen from a distance, Millennium Yaozhai has the style of Greek santorini.

Houses are set up in rows, and the streets are straight, and local materials are used to pave the way with stones, which connects all households together, forming a building complex with the characteristics of Yao Pai, which adds unique charm to the Millennium Yao Village.

I have always liked the poem "Once upon a time was slow":

"In the past, the sun turned slow, cars, horses and mail were slow, and only one person could be loved in a lifetime".

If you wander around Millennium Yaozhai, you can deeply feel "Once Slow":

There is no elevator going up the mountain, only a step stone road paved with bluestone slabs. If you want to carry materials up the mountain, you can only rely on manpower or horses.

nowadays, horses that can only be seen once in the zoo are easy to meet in the Millennium Yao Village. They can not only take a group photo, but also be a "master" and sit on the saddle of "Bai Longma" to see the scenery.

Ancient Zhaimen, Panwang Temple, Getangping, Dejishi, Dragon Culture Observation Deck, Ancient sarcophagus Site, Yaolao Council Hall, Yao Dance Square ... These preserved monuments are scattered in different corners of Yaozhai, which makes the ancient Yaozhai look deeper and thicker, all of which are the best testimony of the prosperity of the Millennium Yaozhai.

If you want to appreciate the history and scenery of the Millennium Yao Village, you can choose to ask a tour guide to explain it, while listening to the introduction and sightseeing.

In addition, you can start from Guzhai Gate and follow your heart, regardless of the southeast and northwest. You can feel the grand occasion of the Millennium Yao Village by stepping on the smooth and round stone road trodden by years.

In order to have a deeper experience, I specially rented Yao costumes as a "Sha Yaomei".

you can rent it in the tourist service center in the scenic spot, and 3 yuan can rent it for 3 hours, which is very cost-effective!

After renting clothes, Miss Yao Zhai will patiently guide you to dress up, and be meticulous in everything from clothes to hairstyles!

In the standard Yao costume, the girl's hair is wrapped in an embroidered headband, and the headband is also wrapped with a white pearl string.

in addition, white soft feathers, silver hairpin, silver hairpin, mountain flowers and other decorations should be inserted, which is very beautiful and dignified.

The headdress can also be used to distinguish the marital status of Yao women: all women who wear headscarves are married; An unmarried girl doesn't have a handkerchief wrapped around her head!

In the Millennium Yao Village, wearing Yao costumes, you don't need to look at the map, walking aimlessly in the lanes, without oppression, artificial imitation and similarity of antique buildings.

You just need to shuttle through rows of diaojiao buildings to find different beauty.

The Millennium Yaozhai is just like a pot of good tea and a good book. You need to read her years slowly and carefully.

Walking along the rugged stone road, you can see some well-preserved historical sites: for example, facilities that use water to grind rice, such as the fountain of youth, such as the Millennium ancient waterwheel, have been preserved for hundreds of years, which is very interesting.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Yao Zhai built four Zhai Men according to the four clans of Deng, Tang, Pan and Fang, which were used for the defense of major ethnic groups.

The traces of years' baptism are deeply depicted on the blue bricks of the ancient village gate, and there is also a lady guarding the gate. ten thousand cannot force it's imposing manner once defended Yaozhai from bandits and officials for thousands of years, which is awe-inspiring.

Today's Guzhai Gate is very lively. In order to let tourists better experience the Yao culture and feel the hospitality of the local Yao people, there is a special gate wine here. Shamaomei, dressed in Yao costumes, will send each guest a bowl of rice wine brewed by herself.

The temperature in Millennium Yaozhai, which is located on the mountain, will be 6-8 degrees higher than that at the bottom of the county. Thanks to this bowl of wine, I feel a strong warm current in my body after drinking, and the whole person is warm, so I have the cheek to ask for another bowl!

When I got to the Stone, I always wondered why it was called the Stone.

It is said that more than 14 years ago, a herbalist in Yaozhai saved a blind fairy. In order to thank the pharmacist, the immortal told him that there were a lot of gold bricks in the ditch under the big stone board behind the house.

The herbalists and Yao people found a large number of gold bricks at the location mentioned by the immortal, and used them to build the walls, gates and other public facilities of Yao Village.

Today, Deshishi is a must-punch point in the Millennium Yaozhai, because there are tea shops, a century-old tofu shop and a yuba shop. When you are tired and thirsty, you can rest here and taste the characteristic tofu flower of Yaozhai.

Secondly, the name of the Golden Stone has a good meaning. Everyone hopes to win gold in the future, and the days will be better and better.

Also in the same position as the stone, there is Getangping in Yaozhai.

The Yao people are good at singing and dancing. This 9-meter-wide and 9-meter-long Getangping has been the activity center of the Yao people for thousands of years. Every major festival in the village will be held here.

The world classic music Dance of Yao nationality in 195s was also created in Getangping. When you come here for the Yao festival, you can enjoy the visual feast of playing gongs, bragging about horns, singing Yao songs and dancing long drums.

Personally, I particularly like the location of Getangping. Looking back, I can look forward to a patchwork of houses and enjoy the scenery of Pan Wang Feng. At this moment, time seems to be flowing backwards and still, leading us back to thousands of years ago.

Go straight up from Getangping, and you will reach Panwang Temple at the top of the mountain.

when you look down in Panwang Temple, you will feel like the other mountains all appear dwarfs under the sky..

Panwang Temple worships Pangu King and Pangu Wang Po. It is said that burning incense is effective when praying, so incense has been burning here for thousands of years.

While praying devoutly, we quietly watched how the local people burned incense and worshipped, so as to experience the traditional culture of Yao nationality.

According to reports, it is necessary to follow the inherent process of burning incense and praying for blessings, during which they will perform various ceremonies to be completed.

You won't feel gloomy when you arrive at the ancient sarcophagus tomb. It's very open and there are no tombstones, so you can relax and learn about the history and culture of Yao people.

The sarcophagus tomb is a unique funeral of the Millennium Yao Village in Nangang. The sarcophagus tomb is a symbol of status and rights, and only Yao Wang is qualified to be buried in the sarcophagus tomb.

After the founding of New China, Wang Si Yao wanted to make progress and volunteered not to bury the sarcophagus, so the sarcophagus was preserved in the cottage.

Yao Wang is the highest leader of Yao Village in Nangang Pai, and is responsible for all affairs in the village, handling all kinds of disputes and maintaining order.

Therefore, Yao Wang enjoys high prestige among Yao people. In case of contradictions and disputes, everyone must abide by Yao Wang's ruling.

In the Millennium Yaozhai, both the Yaowang House and the Yaolao Chamber are worth visiting. When you walk down from Qingshiban Street, you will meet several most important places in Yaozhai when you walk down from another slate step on the left: Yaowangwu, Yaolao Council Hall, Hongxiu Quanchuan Church, etc.

The Yaowang House, located in the middle of the semi-cottage, has a spacious platform in front of it, with the widest view, and can overlook the mountains from afar.

Go on, and you will come to the Yaolao Chamber.

There are lifelike portraits simulating the meeting scene of the Yao elders in the Yaolao Chamber.

Next to the Yaolao Chamber is the "Hong Xiuquan Chuan Church". Several pictures and appliances were displayed in the room to bring back the scene of that year.

After walking out of the Yaolao Chamber, we kept going to the right and finally stopped at the Dragon Culture Observation Deck.

the landscape atmosphere here is simple and quiet, and the scenery of Yaozhai and Baili Yaoshan is panoramic, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

The Yao Dance Square in Millennium Yaozhai will stage a song and dance performance for tourists at a fixed time every day.

Dance presents a series of wonderful performances, such as Yaoshan love story, Yaoshan big black umbrella dance, original ecological long drum dance and so on.

During the period, there was an interactive session. During the 4-minute performance, the audience enjoyed themselves and fully integrated into the Yao culture.

It is divided into "single dance", "double dance" and "group dance", with a total of 72 sets of performance programs, and each set is divided into several animal details such as "getting up" and "moving the hall".

whether it is jumping, jumping, squatting, falling or rotating, tumbling, jumping and lifting, it shows the passionate, strong and brave personality characteristics of the Yao people.

Walking in the Millennium Yao Village, you can still see the diligent embroidery of Yao aunts, who have always been a living fossil of Yao cultural changes with their exquisite embroidery techniques and unique embroidery styles.

Most Yao girls began to learn embroidery at the age of eleven or twelve. The embroidery is mainly used as accessories on clothes, men's and women's clothes, headscarves, belts, aprons, children's hats, satchels, umbrella bags and other objects.

The skill of making Yao silver ornaments in Liannan has a long history. The forging skill of Yao silver ornaments is unique to Yao people, and all ornaments are made by hand. The style and structure of silver ornaments have been carefully designed by craftsmen, and there are more than 3 processes from drawing to carving and production, with a very high level of technology.

When you come to Millennium Yao Village, it is a good choice to buy a Yao silver ornament. It is said that it can bring good luck and keep peace!

Panwang Festival is the biggest traditional festival of Yao nationality. During the festival, the Yao people will wear traditional costumes, and then worship their ancestors, pray for good fortune, and inherit and carry forward the traditional culture of Yao nationality by singing and dancing, firing salutes, boasting horns, cruising in Yao village, eating long table banquets and playing bonfire parties.

When you first see the accommodation environment of Millennium Yaozhai, you may not be ecstatic:

There are no chain hotels, let alone five-star hotels.

But as long as you stay, you will be infected by the enthusiasm and mellow of the local people. The sincerity and enthusiasm from the bottom of your heart make people feel as if you are living in an old friend's house, which is very pleasant.

The condition of the guest room is not luxurious, but it has the flavor of Yao family, and the sheets and decoration style with Yao characteristics are full of characteristics.

If it's sunny, you can watch the starry sky, sunrise and sunset!

This time we stayed in the Sky View Inn, and when we walked out of the door, we could overlook a landscape and countryside, which was very pleasant!

There are many delicious foods worth tasting in Yaozhai:

Millennium Yaozhai is located at a high altitude, which is especially suitable for sun-baked bacon when the autumn wind rises.

Walking in Yaozhai, I saw that almost every household was drying sausages and ducks.
