[2025 Leishan Stay] Travel Guide for Baiyan Muyunjian Terraced Field Holiday Guesthouse (Updated May)

Public transportation is available between these destinations, but after researching and driving there myself, I found it quite inconvenient. I highly recommend driving. Day 1️⃣: 🚗 Guiyang → Kaili (approx. 2.5-hour drive), stay in Kaili (GreenTree Inn is great, only 200+ yuan during off-season) 🥣 Guiyang dining recommendations: - **Yiluoguo** (tried it, delicious) - **Xiaoshu Bingjiang** (must-try! The glutinous rice isn’t fully blended, leaving a chewy texture—way better than Kaili’s Zhong Dayniang Bingjiang) - **Guicheng** (didn’t try, but highly recommended in guides) 🥣 Kaili dining recommendations: - Any **sour soup hotpot**—Kaili is the hometown of sour soup! Brought back "Yumeng" brand sour soup to try, and it was pretty good. --- Day 2️⃣: 🚗 Kaili → Langde Miao Village (34-min drive) → Baiyan Village (28 min), stay in Baiyan Village (recommend **Muyunjian Homestay**—clean, with huge photogenic windows). Note: There are two Baiyan Villages—make sure it’s the one in **Leishan County**. - **Langde Miao Village’s performance** is fantastic! Starts at 11 AM daily: first a "block-the-gate" liquor welcome, then cultural shows—totally worth it. 🥣 Baiyan Village dining: - **Muyunjian Homestay** (owner’s cooking is delicious—highly recommend!) - Langde Miao Village: Just pick any spot in the scenic area; all seem similar. --- Day 3️⃣: Baiyan Village (same dining/accommodation as above) --- Day 4️⃣: 🚗 Baiyan Village → Yaogu Village (3-hour drive), stay in Yaogu Village (recommend **Firefly Homestay**—owner is super extroverted and fun!). 🥣 Yaogu Village dining: - **Dongdai Farmhouse Restaurant** (tasty! Cheap! Under 60 yuan for two people) - **Firefly Homestay** (owner’s cooking is amazing) --- Day 5️⃣: Yaogu Village (same dining/accommodation as above) --- Day 6️⃣: 🚗 Yaogu Village → Guiyang (3.5-hour drive) **Note:** Yaogu Village is very close to **Maolan Scenic Area** (~30-min drive). My original plan was to hike the "Funnel Forest" trail in Maolan on Day 6, but rain canceled it. Alternatively, you can: - Hike in Maolan on Day 6, stay overnight, then return to Guiyang the next day—a perfectly balanced itinerary!

Return to Simplicity in a Secluded Village Baiyan Village, Guizhou The Miao name for the village is "Zhenliu," meaning "a place with large, wide terraces." The village is surrounded by mountains and terraces. There is no public transportation and few tourists, with only three or four places to stay. Here, you can find the purest satisfaction from childhood. Wake up early in the morning to see the misty terraces and mountains. Explore the village during the day, play with chickens and dogs, chase butterflies, and catch fish in the rice fields. At night, lie on the roof and watch the shooting stars streak across the sky. Stay from one end of the village to the other, from day to night. Every moment here is peaceful and happy. 🫶🏻

Qiandongnan Baiyan Village, a completely uncommercialized village, has no shops selling souvenirs, no restaurants serving standardized sour soup fish. Surrounded by mountains, with dense vegetation, streams, and waterfalls cascading down the mountains, it resembles a beautiful landscape painting.

This is the 'village supported by terraces,' with layers upon layers of terraces extending along the mountain slopes, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene that is truly stunning! 📍Location: Baiyan Village, Leishan County, Kaili Transportation: Self-driving It is about a 40-minute drive from Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village and Langde Shangzhai, but be sure to drive safely on the mountain roads.
