Merhaba
Xijiang Miao Village (西江千户苗寨) is best experienced at sunrise or at night — over 1,200 wooden stilt houses (吊脚楼) blanketing a hillside light up after dark like a living constellation. The Long Table Banquet (长桌宴) is offered to visitors during festivals — if you're there during Lusheng Festival (正月十五), the musical horn performances are extraordinary.
Bargaining is expected in the Grand Bazaar. Always accept the tea offered by shopkeepers.
🇨🇳 Guizhou Fun Fact
Guizhou is home to over 18 recognised ethnic minorities — more than any other Chinese province. The Miao people of Guizhou maintain the world's most elaborate traditional silver jewellery culture: a Miao bride's headdress can weigh over 15 kg and a full festival costume represents a family's wealth accumulated over generations. Guizhou is also the birthplace of Moutai (茅台) — China's most prestigious and expensive baijiu spirit.
🇹🇷 Istanbul Fun Fact
Istanbul is the only city in the world that straddles two continents — Europe and Asia.
