Today we drove 120 kilometers from the ancient town of Zhenyuan to the beautiful Xijiang Miao Village. It took us two hours to arrive at the west gate of the Miao Village Scenic Area Service Center. We bought tickets, got on sightseeing buses twice, and arrived at the Leishan Lotus Inn booked in advance at noon. Leishan Lotus Inn is located in the aisle next to Xijiang Museum. It is in a good location and is convenient for traveling. It is very convenient to go to the observation deck, Miao Batik, Gu Zangtoujia and visit the ancient streets.
I visited Miao Village once a few years ago. At that time, the expressway had not yet been built to reach Xijiang Miao Village. It took three or four hours to drive on the winding mountain road to enter the village. Now it only takes a few minutes to get off the highway exit. However, in the newly rebuilt North Gate and West Gate Tourist Service Center, you need to take the scenic sightseeing car to enter the scenic spot. It used to be very convenient to enter the scenic spot through the North Gate. Now, private cars are not allowed to enter the North Gate during peak periods, and you can only enter the scenic spot through the West Gate. , it is really not very convenient to have to board the sightseeing bus twice and bring both large and small bags into the scenic inn.
After lunch, we revisited the Miao Village and drove to the observation deck. After taking pictures, we walked down the mountain along the path we had taken before. Soon we arrived at No. 4 Fengyu Bridge. After going down the mountain, I recalled that I used to walk from No. 4 and No. 5. The steps between the Wind and Rain Bridge are used to climb up to the observation deck. I continued walking around the ancient streets in the evening. Although many buildings have been rebuilt over the years, the memories of the past are still vivid in my mind. In the evening, I ate hot pot at a Libo freshly slaughtered small yellow beef hot pot restaurant in front of the inn. We stayed in Xijiang Miao Village for two days. After arriving today, we settled down and went downstairs to have lunch. Then we walked around the ancient streets, went to the observation deck to overlook the panoramic view of the Miao Village, and continued walking around the streets in the evening.
After taking the sightseeing bus twice, we finally entered the village. All the tourists were walking in the ancient town carrying all their luggage.

The next day I stayed in Xijiang and was in a daze. The last trip to Xijiang, although it was in a hurry, it was just a stay at that time. The impression of Xijiang Miao Village has always remained in my memory, and I always want to find an opportunity to come again. Xijiang, re-examine this thousand-household Miao village hidden deep in the mountains, and appreciate everything here, a delicious food, a stilted building, and every wind and rain bridge.
