Xijiang Miao Village
|
It is supposed to be the largest Miao village in China. |
| (Chinese: 西江千户苗寨;pinyin:xijīang qiānhù miáozhài): Xijiang Miao Village is supposed to be the largest Miao Village in China at around 1000 wooden homes, surrounded by green hills and blue waters. The local silversmiths have unique craftsmanship for silver ornament making. All the silver ornaments that a Miao girl puts on weight about 9 kg. The best times to visit are during the autumn to enjoy their Harvest celebration, which is a kind of activity in memory of villagers' ancestors and in celebrating their autumn harvest. The most important thing for the celebration is to hold a memorial ceremony for their ancestry and the happiest thing is to play the Lusheng-pipe and dance. |
