Spring Festival trip in 2018 (4) - Miao Village-Liping-Zhijiang

Langde Shangzhai and Qianhu Miao Village

I have long heard that Qianhu Miao Village is extremely popular, surpassing Lijiang. Even during the Spring Festival, it is always crowded. When traveling in southeastern Guizhou more than ten years ago, you could drive directly to the square of Zhaizi and stop by car. Now it takes at least 30 minutes to take a shuttle bus to get to the core area of ​​the village. Therefore, you can’t go to Qianhu Miao Village to join in the fun. Starting from Kaili, choose to live in Delangxia Village and play in Langde Shangzhai. The Miao Village style is everywhere. If you have the opportunity, you can visit Qianhu Miao Village.

• In Delangzhai, I was lucky enough to meet Mr. Dong, a native of Qianhu Miao Village and a tourism graduate, and he opened a rather stylish B&B in Delangxiazhai. To be honest, Mr. Dong does not look like a businessman at all. Langde No. 1 Hotel, the best B&B in Langde Xiazhai. On the first day we arrived in Langde Village, we stayed at Mr. Dong’s Langde No. 1 Hotel. He was having a banquet at a neighbor’s house. He came over after hearing the news and cooked Miao Village’s unique cured pork ribs and fresh hot pot for us. The aroma attracted us, so the four of us gathered all the fresh vegetables in the kitchen, blanched them in a hot pot, and ate them all.
• The next day, Mr. Dong also volunteered to take us to Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village to see the night view. Meeting is the happiest thing during travel. Thank you, Mr. Dong! After Mr. Dong left home to study, he returned to his hometown to start a business. He maintained the simplicity of the Miao people and wanted to write a special record for him.

Is the prestige of the Bazaar Gun Clan still there?

After a trip from Langde to Bazaar, I felt that the gun-related tourism that was so popular in the past has declined. When the welcoming ceremony was held at the gate, there were only a sparse group of more than 20 tourists, and there was no longer the bustling scene of more than 10 years ago. A man with a gun was secretly photographed during the Spring Festival in Basha Miao Village. What is this Basha man with a knife and a gun worried about? Worried about March 8th Festival gifts? Although there are few tourists, the special performances are still very serious. Basha Miao Village is located in Congjiang County, Guizhou. As soon as you enter the village, you will be attracted by its ancient mystery. The residential buildings, clothing and headwear of the Miao Village are completely different from other surrounding villages. To this day, the ancient production and lifestyle of one or two thousand years ago are maintained, and the clothing still maintains strong original colors. The tree of life is a symbol of human life in Basha. People worship the tree god. During the New Year and festivals, they sacrifice the ancient tree and practice tree burial. Since they are surrounded by powerful enemies, it is a bit like the Israelis in the Middle East. They always carry guns and knives to "last death". "Gunner Tribe" was selected as "the 21 most mysterious original ecological tribes on earth".

Basha men advocate force. They usually wear self-woven collarless right-hand cardigans with copper buttons, straight trousers, and green cloth jackets. They carry knives on their waists and muskets on their shoulders all year round. They go hunting in the mountains and fish in the rivers.

Bazaar's most special custom: the only place where heads are shaved with a sickle, which is unique.

Liping-Zhenyuan-Zhijiang-Go Home

Liping, a great turning point, has the famous Liping Conference site Liping, Gospel Hall, and the conference site Liping. There are old revolutionary sites in Qiaojie, Gospel Hall, and Jinshidi. Of course, Liping is also indispensable for delicacies, including beef-based delicacies. During the Lantern Festival, I met Liping’s spontaneous dragon lantern procession. Liping was very prosperous during the Republic of China, and it is also very lively now.

Zhenyuan-Zhijiang

It's very close from Liping to Zhenyuan. We stopped briefly in Zhenyuan, the border between Guizhou and Hunan. Zhenyuan is not ancient, and has lost its former tourist hotspot style. It is an ordinary town. After lunch, we looked at Desheng Bridge and Qinglong Temple, and then headed towards Zhijiang, Hunan. . Authentic Zhijiang Duck - Xia Laotai Restaurant This is the third time I have been to Zhijiang to eat Zhijiang duck again. Rest for one night in Zhijiang and visit the old site of Shoujiangfang. The place name "Shashi" was on the list of areas to be surrendered. The Shashi that the Japanese did not destroy was demolished by our own people. There is no trace of the old streets and alleys of our hometown. We are back.
