Reverse Travel | Que Niao Miao Village - The Forgotten Planet Village

| Que Niao Miao Village - The Forgotten Planet Village. If you've never been to Qiandongnan, or to the ancient Miao Village, then take a trip to "Que Niao Village" to satisfy all your imaginations about the appearance of Miao Village and the traditional life of Miao people. "Que Niao", in Miao language, means "the source of green", located in Fangxiang Township, Leishan County, Southeast Guizhou. This village has a history of four to five hundred years of building villages. Because it is located in the Leigong Mountain National Nature Reserve, there is almost no development and construction here. The place with the strongest commercial atmosphere is the village's grocery store. Compared with popular destinations like Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village, almost no one will put Que Niao Village on their travel list, and even locals need to search repeatedly in their minds to remember its location. However, this little-known village has long been included in "Lonely Planet". Standing at the high point at the entrance of the village, looking around, a stream runs through the village, hundreds of stilted buildings are built along the mountain, golden terraces surround the whole village, and the protective forest planted by the ancestors protects the safety of the whole village. Here, villagers still live a farming life of sunrise and sunset. In the season of spring sowing and autumn harvesting, they still carry farming tools and crops on their shoulders and hands. They greet everyone with a smile, and their lives are plain and satisfied. Although they don't speak the same language, they always warmly invite "outsiders" to their homes for meals. Here, everyday life is sleeping, dazing, taking pictures, fishing, picking tea, making tea, cutting rice, picking chestnuts, picking wild fruits... Life is leisurely, and the whole person becomes lazy and soft. 🚍How to get there: 1️⃣Train/High-speed rail: From the departure place to Kaili or Kaili South Station; 2️⃣Bus: Take a bus from Kaili to Leishan County, and then transfer to a bus to Fangxiang Township (Que Niao Down) (one bus each in the morning and afternoon), it is recommended to confirm the departure time with Leishan County Passenger Station in advance. PS. Self-driving cars can navigate directly to "Que Niao Village". 🏨Accommodation recommendation: Homestay: "Stay One Night" Price: 190 yuan/person (including three meals, seasonal ingredients, super delicious) PS. This homestay is run by the young couple "Xiao Niu" who returned to their hometown. The first floor has a kitchen, activity room (also living room and dining room), living room, the second floor is the guest room, you can see the mountain view from the window, and the small balcony can also enjoy the sunrise and sunset. In the traditional stilted building, there is also a negative first floor, which has been transformed into a public toilet, shower room, and handicraft experience area. They also organize experiential study activities on farming culture and traditional dyeing and embroidery. Last words: Because of work reasons, it is difficult for us to travel off-peak during long holidays, but if we can find a treasure-like niche travel destination and carry out "reverse travel", it is also a kind of luck. The popular destinations are crowded with people, and the experience is self-evident. The meaning of travel is not to check in, take pictures, and post circles to prove that you have been there, but to simply enjoy the travel itself and the whole process.
