2025 Leishan Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

I don't like group tours ❌ and I'm also afraid of signing shady contracts. ✅So, even though Guizhou is full of group tours, I still chose to travel independently. There's only one advantage to group tours in Guizhou: transportation. But after this trip, I found that it's totally manageable. 👀And independent travel is truly free!! I can make plans and choose attractions as I please. For example, most group tours wouldn't take me to Yelang Valley, which I really wanted to see. So, if you want to travel independently, sisters, you can refer to this⬇️⬇️ 【Day 1】✈️Shanghai - Guiyang 📍Stayed near Huaguoyuan Shopping Center, where there are tons of night markets. I indulged in the night market food; it was cheap and delicious. (Everything in Guiyang has chili powder🌶️... Changwang Noodles are worth trying. If you can't handle spicy food, be sure to tell them in advance! 【Day 2】Guiyang Yelang Valley🗿➕Travel to Libo County 🔸Morning: I've always wanted to go to Yelang Valley. I took a taxi🚖 from the hotel, which cost about💰20–30. The artist Song Peilun👨‍🎨 seems to have created these stone statues in his own image. The details are very interesting; the eyes and mouths are made of tiles. Seeing the comparison photo from 1997 and the scene in front of me now was quite shocking! There were some intangible cultural heritage craftspeople scattered around the park. It was admirable to watch them make all kinds of small things up close👍🏻. Later, I found a pottery workshop through a hidden back door and learned how to mold clay with the teacher👩‍🏫. 🔸Afternoon: I booked a ride through a ride-sharing app the night before🚗. It takes about 4⃣️ hours to drive from Guiyang to Libo (I heard that a high-speed train🚄 will open by the end of this year, which will be much more convenient). So, I basically spent the whole afternoon on the road. The two of us paid💰200+ for a direct ride to a Buyi ethnic minority town at the foot of Xiaoqikong. I think ride-sharing is quite easy to arrange. There was another guy in the car with us. 🥣In the evening, I enjoyed a delicious Miao cuisine dinner in the town. 【Day 3】Libo's Big and Small Seven-Holes Scenic Area🌊 You need to walk a lot, so be sure to wear sneakers👟 on this day. Don't believe the vendors who say you need flip-flops for playing in the water. Don't believe them‼️‼️ My feet🦶🏻 got a huge blister from wearing flip-flops🩴 all day, 55555😭

Visiting Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village, the largest Miao ethnic village in China, is a must-see attraction on any Guizhou tour. It's a unique experience to immerse yourself in the daily life of the Miao people. Not only can you see and play, but you can also dress in traditional Miao attire adorned with gold and silver, and take beautiful photos to share! Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village is composed of more than ten natural villages built along the mountains. The village is inhabited by the 'Xi' clan Miao people. The Baishui River divides the village into two parts: one side is a commercial pedestrian street, and the other is a viewing platform where you can overlook the layers of Miao wooden stilt houses on the hillside, offering a picturesque view.

| Enter a world of a thousand lights, like in *Spirited Away*.📍Location: Leishan County, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province 🕒Recommended duration: 2 days and 1 night (can be extended to 3 days for in-depth travel) 🚌 Transportation Tips ✅ Most convenient from Guiyang: 40 mins by high-speed rail to Kaili South Station → transfer to the scenic spot direct bus (approx. ¥95/person) ✅ Walking + sightseeing bus required within the scenic spot. Wear comfortable non-slip shoes! It's difficult to drag suitcases on the stone roads, so backpacks are recommended. 🏡 Accommodation Experience 💡 Guesthouses with mountain views: The first night, I chose "Xijiang 998 Inn" halfway up the mountain. Wooden stilt houses + viewing balcony, great value for money at ¥200+ during the off-season (Picture 2). When the village lights up at night, it really looks like a scene from *Spirited Away*! ⚠️ Caution: Mountainside guesthouses require climbing stairs. If you have a lot of luggage, it is recommended to choose a riverside inn at the foot of the mountain. 📸 3 Must-See Photo Spots 1️⃣ Panoramic view from the observation deck 🔸 It is recommended to go at 7am! The layered stilt houses in the morning mist look like an ink painting, even more stunning than the night view. 🔸 Miao clothing rental guide: Choose traditional embroidered styles (¥30/hour). The bigger the headdress, the better the photo! 2️⃣ Wind and Rain Bridge and riverside houses 🔸 Bridges 1–5 each have their own characteristics. Bridge 4 has the cleanest background, and the light and shadow are stunning at 4pm. 3️⃣ Hiking to the hidden terraces 🔸 Walk up from Yedong Village, and in 10 mins you'll encounter deserted terraces. When the rice waves roll, they look like green waves (even more stunning in the golden autumn). 🍲 Food Recommendations 🔥 Must-try recommendations: - Sour Soup Fish: "Caotang Tea House," recommended by locals, uses naturally fermented tomatoes for the sour soup, and the fish is so tender it melts in your mouth (¥68/jin) - Bacon *Ciba*: Freshly baked by an old lady in the old street, crispy glutinous rice wrapped in smoked bacon, great value at ¥10/serving! - Handmade rice wine: Free tasting at the winery. Sweet rice wine is like a drink, but it's quite strong, so don't drink too much. 🚫 Exercise caution: × Long Table Banquet (¥60/person): Looks good for photos, but small portions and low value for money × Bamboo Tube Rice: Many places reuse bamboo tubes, which is generally unhygienic 💡 Tried-and-tested tips ❗️The ticket includes 4 sightseeing bus rides. 2 are used for entering and exiting the scenic spot, and the remaining 2 are for going up and down to the observation deck. ❗️Silver jewelry shops are seriously overpriced! A regular necklace is priced at ¥200, bargain to below ¥50 before buying. ❗️Is the "Beautiful Xijiang" show worth ¥120? The song and dance are unique, but I recommend the free original Lusheng field performance (11:00/17:00 daily). 📅 Itinerary Reference Day 1: Guiyang → Miao Village → Observation Deck → Wind and Rain Bridge night view → Miao clothing photo shoot Day 2: Terrace hike → Miao Museum → Batik experience → Return trip ✨ Travel Bonus Discovered a hidden coffee shop on the top of Yedong Village (Picture 9). The owner is a Miao girl who returned to her hometown. Sipping hand-ground coffee and listening to her tell the legend of the Miao Butterfly Mother, it felt like another world. --- 🌿 This is the last hidden gem, and also a vibrant life The Miao Village, a blend of commercialization and native culture, may not be perfect, but when the smoke rises from the thousand-year-old stilt houses, you will understand why it is worthwhile—after all, we always need to preserve some earthly delights beyond the skyscrapers. 📌 Practical Information 🎫 Tickets: ¥110 (book in advance on Trip.com for ¥10 off) 🚗 Parking: North Gate parking lot ¥30/day 🌧️ Rainy season tips: June–August is the rainy season, bring waterproof shoe covers + a transparent umbrella (great for photos) Click ❤️ to save this authentic experience guide, and unlock more niche Guizhou travel tips next time!

✨Hey guys👋, Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village in February is a unique experience. I just came back from there and have a hot-off-the-press guide for you! 🎈I saw photos of the Miao Village online and was deeply attracted. I took advantage of the February holiday and went with my friends. When I arrived, I found that the Miao Village in February was not as crowded as in the peak season. It was quiet and beautiful, and it was really worth it! Here is a super practical guide for you, including attractions, food, accommodation, and transportation. It's all useful information, so save it now👇 🌟Must-see attractions Miao Village Viewing Platform: You can take a sightseeing bus from Bridge No. 1 to get there. This is definitely the best place to overlook the whole Miao Village! If you go in February, it is recommended to go around 10–11 am, when the light is soft, the photos are super beautiful, and there is no backlight. Standing on the viewing platform, you can see the dense stilted buildings, surrounded by mountains in the distance, and the warm sunshine in February. The picture is as beautiful as a painting. Ancient Stilted Buildings: Climb the mountain from the path next to the museum, passing through Dongyin Village, Yedong Village, Yangpai Village, Miao Wang's House, and Guzangtou. Along the way, you can see the most authentic Miao Village buildings, and the mottled wooden walls tell the story of time. If you like taking photos, don't miss it. You can take retro and artistic photos in any corner. Terraced Fields: Although the terraced fields in February are not as green as in spring and summer, they have a unique tranquility. You can walk to the terraced field viewing platform on the ring road, see the terraced fields in different levels, and feel the magic of nature. If you are lucky, you can also see the beautiful scenery of clouds and mist, as if you are in a fairyland. Performance Venue: You can enter with a ticket to see the regular performance, which lasts about 30 minutes. You can enjoy the Miao-style song and dance performance, which is very exciting. If you want to see a large-scale Miao-style evening show, you need to buy another ticket. There are relatively few tourists in February, so you don't have to squeeze in to watch the performance, and the experience is great. Museum: On the ancient street, you can enter with a ticket. The museum displays the cultural history and customs of the Miao people. After a tour, you can have a deeper understanding of the Miao people. It is a good place to gain knowledge. Miao Village River: The section from Bridge No. 5 to Bridge No. 4 is super beautiful in the evening! It gets dark late in February, and the lights gradually turn on around 7 pm. The river reflects the lights, and the whole picture is super dreamy, like walking into a fairy tale world. 🍲Must-try food Long Table Banquet: A must-try in Miao Village! It costs tens of yuan per person, with singing and a high mountain and flowing water toasting ceremony, and the atmosphere is full! Everyone sits around and tastes the Miao-style food, feeling the unique ethnic culture. It's so interesting. But be careful, if you can't drink, don't get "drunk"😜 Sour Soup Fish: A specialty of Guizhou, with rich sour soup and tender fish. The restaurant we went to made the sour soup with local tomatoes and peppers, and the taste was very authentic. A bite of fish and a sip of sour soup is simply amazing! Guizhou Cuisine: In addition to sour soup fish, Guizhou cuisine in Miao Village is also worth a try. Spicy chicken and stir-fried bacon with Houttuynia cordata are all very appetizing. If you like spicy food, don't miss it. Breakfast: The rural noodle shop on the left side of the main street at the entrance of the Dong Village is a must-try. The soup is rich, and the rice noodles are smooth. A bowl in the morning will give you full energy. The glutinous rice and pig's trotters on the snack street at Bridge No. 4 are also good, suitable for breakfast or snacks. 🚗Miao Village Transportation External Transportation: You can choose to drive by yourself and enjoy the scenery along the way, or take the high-speed rail to Kaili City and then transfer to the Miao Village. If you don't want to bother, it is recommended to take the high-speed rail, which is convenient and fast. Internal Transportation: After arriving at the Miao Village, cars cannot enter, and you need to take the scenic sightseeing bus. You can buy sightseeing bus tickets online in advance or buy them at the scenic spot, which is very convenient. 🏠Accommodation There are many accommodation options in Miao Village, and it is recommended to choose a homestay halfway up the mountain, with a great view! You can see the whole Miao Village when you open the window, and you can fall asleep with the lights at night. However, when booking a room online, be sure to check the reviews, as some pictures may differ from reality. The homestay we stayed in had a great view, but the room facilities were a bit old. You can do more research before deciding. 💖In general, Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village in February is really worth a visit. You can avoid the peak tourist season and enjoy the unique scenery and food. Although there are many slopes in the Miao Village, which are a bit tiring to walk, it is all worth it. Guys, hurry up and plan your trip!

#2024Travel Review Entering the Miao Village #LangdeShangzhai, also known as #Shanglangde Village, is the first Miao open-air museum in Guizhou and is known as the hometown of Chinese folk art. It is surrounded by green mountains and clear water. If you want to experience the most local Miao culture, come to Langde Shangzhai! Langde Shangzhai was built at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. Most of the buildings are wooden structures with railings, three rooms wide and three floors above and below. There is a gong and drum terrace in the village, which serves as a public place and is now mostly used for performances.

Of course, I had to dress up as a Miao girl when I visited the Miao Village. I walked around the whole village and found many photo studios. I randomly picked one and chose a daytime photo shoot. I arrived at the photo studio at 8 or 9 am and chose from a wide range of costumes. The makeup artist was amazing. It only took an hour to finish my makeup and hair. The foundation was light and clean, and my eyes looked twice as big. My face shape was modified to look great. I put on a headdress, jewelry, and a necklace. I instantly became a Yi girl. Then I took photos with the photographer in three large scenes. The photographer was very attentive and patiently taught me how to pose. The composition and lighting of the photos were amazing! If you visit the Miao Village, you must try this studio! 📷: KK WONG Miao Photo Studio

Our encounter with the 2024 Leishan Miao New Year and Drum Festival was completely unexpected—and what a rare event to stumble upon! The Drum Festival happens only once every 13 years, and just days before heading to Guizhou, we saw news of this grand celebration. Without hesitation, we changed our plans, joining a two-day local tour to experience it firsthand. Accommodation and transport in Leishan were challenging to secure due to the influx of visitors, but we managed to arrive by 10 a.m., avoiding the inevitable traffic jam. We spent the morning wandering through the streets of Leishan, exploring the bustling market stalls, before gearing up for the festivities. At 1 p.m., the grand parade began, showcasing a dazzling array of Guizhou’s minority ethnic groups in their vibrant traditional attire. By 2 p.m., we had already lined up to enter the Leishan Square for the main event, and it was almost packed by the time we found seats. The Miao New Year, an annual celebration of the Miao people and a UNESCO-recognized Intangible Cultural Heritage, coincided with the Drum Festival, the Miao's most sacred ancestor worship ceremony, held once every 13 years. This rare convergence of two national cultural treasures made it an unforgettable experience. The parade was nothing short of spectacular, with performances that left us awestruck—melodious Dong Grand Songs, the soulful voices of Miao singers, and the powerful rhythms of wooden drum dances. The rituals were deeply meaningful: the Ji Gu ceremony, where clan elders dressed in their finest led the sacred drum worship, followed by vibrant celebrations with copper drum and reed-pipe dances to mark past harvests and pray for future prosperity. Guests were welcomed with the Twelve Obstacle Rice Wine, a grand hospitality ritual where Miao youth in festive attire offered wine to visitors with warm blessings. Even the “Entering Guests and Lifting the Pig Leg” ritual—a gesture of mutual respect with gifts and symbolic offerings—highlighted the cultural depth of the event. This once-in-a-lifetime celebration, blending history, heritage, and stunning artistry, was a feast for the senses and a vivid reminder of Guizhou’s rich cultural tapestry.

#chinatrip Langde Miao Village, located in Guizhou province, is a beautifully preserved Miao ethnic village that offers an authentic glimpse into the traditional lifestyle and culture of the Miao people.

For a truly immersive experience, consider staying overnight in a traditional Miao guesthouse, where you can enjoy home-cooked meals and participate in daily village activities.

(Xian flavor Hong Sour Soup Fish, average consumption about 75 yuan per person) Then go back to the left side of the high-speed train station at South Station, where there is a bus station that has direct buses to Qianhu Miao Village scenic area! The ticket price is 35 yuan, and it takes 40 minutes to reach Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village (North Gate Entrance) Upon reaching the North Gate Entrance of Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village scenic area, purchase a ticket (90 yuan for a regular ticket, 110 yuan for a ticket including a sightseeing car in the scenic area), and after entering the main gate of the scenic area, take a bus to the location of the No. 7 Wind and Rain Bridge to start walking officially. Start walking along the riverside, from the No. 7 Wind and Rain Bridge to the No. 1 Wind and Rain Bridge, there are many travel photography shops along the way, after walking along the river, you can take a sightseeing car at the No. 1 Wind and Rain Bridge to the viewing platform (5 yuan), the viewing platform is suitable for night views, overlooking the entire Qianhu Miao Village, the feeling of thousands of lights. Watching the night view is really good! About travel photography: After comparing several prices and sample photos, I finally chose a travel photography shop (2 people 399 yuan plus rooftop shooting site fee 40, a total of 439 yuan), 8 retouched photos, 50 raw photos all given, shooting night scenes in -2 degrees weather, rain mixed with snow froze my soul About accommodation: Originally planned to return to Guiyang that night, but due to the delay in shooting night scenes, I had to stay in the Miao Village. I chose a homestay recommended by the photography shop, close to the viewing platform, with a good view. The conditions are like the standard of ordinary hotels in the city, the price is high, the accommodation costs 270 yuan a night, which is the discounted price, it is said that during the peak season it costs 1,000 to 2,000 yuan a night), wooden stilted building, poor sound insulation, when someone walks upstairs, it feels like the building is shaking, the air conditioning effect is not very good, it took half an hour for the temperature to slowly warm up, the water heater temperature is average, can only say it is lukewarm, outside -2 degrees weather, rain mixed with snow, I didn't want to bother anymore and just settled down. This price and viewing location compared to other hotels, is already very good! The next day I woke up to see the beautiful rime on the distant mountains! Walking down the mountain along the small road, the whole mountain is full of homestays and hotels, there is still ice on the tile roofs, most of the shops by the river below are for travel photography. The food is not very tasty. Overall, it feels commercialized, those who want to do travel photography can come to experience it, and the night view is still good. The Miao Village is basically rented out to bosses to open homestays and hotels, most of the Miao people seen are working inside. When we went, the most characteristic square was paved into a basketball court, it is said to be for the village super NBA.

The sun shines through the mist, illuminating the village, and the sky is filled with golden light. 🌙 Evening The village is lit up with dazzling lights, and you can go to the observation deck to overlook the night view of the entire village. On the way back, I picked up a few skewers of barbecue and ate them while walking. It was so comfortable. · 🎉Performance Ask the B&B for the daily performance schedule. The two free performances, Beimen Yingbin and Lushengchang Singing and Dancing, are not to be missed. Here you are not only an audience but can also dance together. It doesn’t matter whether you dance well or not, as long as you have fun ✌.
