Xijiang! Thousand Household Miao Village | Accommodation Selection Guide

| Accommodation Selection Tips. 1️⃣ Mountain-top view spots > mid-mountain > foot of the mountain 🔥 Must choose a spot above mid-mountain for the view! Open the window to see layers upon layers of wooden houses and a sea of lights🌠—who can resist this, folks? Skip the crowded viewing platform and enjoy the panoramic view from your bed! (*Key point: Ask in advance if the homestay has a viewing terrace!) 2️⃣ Stilted Houses VS Modern Homestays ▫️ Traditional stilted houses (Highly recommended!): 📸 The ultimate photo spot! Wooden windows, "Meiren Kao" (traditional seating), and Miao decorations. Some homestays like Amei's even offer free Miao costume experiences👘 (Note: Soundproofing may be weaker; if you have lots of luggage, arrange pickup in advance). ▫️ Modern vacation homes: Check out Dongye Private Hot Spring Chill Panorama Homestay—@Dongye·Private Hot Spring Chill Panorama Homestay ✨ Private hot spring baths + floor-to-ceiling windows + wabi-sabi aesthetics—lie in bed and enjoy the morning mist and starry skies over the Miao Village. Absolutely breathtaking! Promise me, you must stay here when visiting Guizhou! ------ 📸 Zero-cost photo tips to fill your memory ✨ Magical photo spots: ❶ Frame the view through your room’s window🏮—use the sea of lights as your backdrop (side profiles with flash are *chef’s kiss*). ❷ Rooftop terrace of your homestay🌌—shoot blue-hour masterpieces when the lights turn on at 7 PM. ❸ Overlook the terraced fields from the Wind-and-Rain Bridge🌾—wear Miao costumes rented from homestays and capture the morning mist. ------ 💡 Pitfall Avoidance Guide ⚠️ Wheeled luggage = disaster! Dragging suitcases on cobblestone roads will drive you mad (choose homestays with luggage assistance). ⚠️ Avoid staying at the foot of the mountain—views are completely blocked! ⚠️ Book at least 1 month in advance during peak season—especially for cliffside views!
