I encountered unexplainable strange things in Qiandongnan…

I encountered unexplainable strange things in Qiandongnan…🌫️ After landing in Guizhou, my first stop was Kaili, the filming location of director Bi Gan's "Kaili Blues." It was pouring rain when I arrived💦, and the mist outside the window shrouded the mountains, with white steam rising from the forest. The mysterious atmosphere was exactly like in the movie! The first day went super smoothly. I found some beautiful Miao embroidery at Fengqing Garden and chatted with some lovely grandmas. After watching the lively village T, I went back to the guesthouse to rest💤 Day 2’s story started to get magical🔮 The original plan was to visit Langdeshang Village, known as the "secret Miao village ceiling," but due to a late start and traffic, I missed the morning gate-blocking wine ceremony. At noon, I met a super nice Miao uncle who poured me a full cup of sweet glutinous rice wine🍶. Wandering the village tipsy felt especially atmospheric~ Halfway up the mountain, I met a villager whose daughter works in Beijing. She warmly invited me to chat... and that’s when the strange things began! While chatting, the sky suddenly darkened☁️ I checked my phone: "15:..." and thought the performance was about to start, so I hurried up the mountain. On the way, a girl coming down warned me it was going to rain, but I wanted to take another route down, so I kept going. As I walked, I realized I was the only one around. My phone showed it was past 3 PM, but my watch was stuck at 1:50!! Even stranger, when I reached the village gate to check the time, my phone suddenly showed 14:02... Looking back, it still feels unbelievable❗ Could it really be the strong effect of the glutinous rice wine? But I clearly remember the "15" on the phone... I’ve put the photos at the end, and my friends all say the atmosphere is super eerie🥶. But honestly, Miao culture is absolutely stunning, with traditional costumes and handicrafts that amaze! This strange encounter only made me more fascinated by the mysterious charm of Qiandongnan💫 📍 Must-visit recommendations: 1.
