Welcome Drink at Xijiang Qianhu Miaozhai China
Welcome Drink at Xijiang Qianhu Miaozhai China
Located on the north side of Leigong Hill, Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village is about 35 km (22 miles) away from Kailicity; the capital of Qiandongnan, and about 260 km (162 miles) from Guiyang City; the capital city of Guizhou Province.
Being the largest gathering place of the Miao in China and even the world, about ten natural Miao ethnic villages exist in Xijiang Town and the Miao culture is best preserved in this area. According to the latest statistics, there are about 1,288 families with a total population of around 6,000 people living there. 99.5% of the local people are Miao nationality.
In Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village, layer upon layer of closely connected wooden-stilted houses are built along the contour of the hill with the Baishui River passing through the bottom of the mountain. Wind-rain bridges connect the banks of the river. During the day the sunlight makes the red wood board shine brightly, and in the evening, smoke from the chimneys spirals, forming a white belt around the mountain's waist.
The Miao Nationality Museum: Eleven exhibition halls in the museum show every aspect of Miao life from culture, clothes, living behaviors, customs, construction and art. At the entrance of the museum, visitors are required to show their village entrance tickets.
The Singing and Dancing Show: The Old Songs of Miao Nationality sung by seniors in the village is excellent. Two performances are held twice everyday, one at around 11:30 and the other at around 17:00 on the square. The exact performance time is a little different everyday, so it is suggested to confirm the schedule when you are there.
Two Streets: There are two main streets in Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village, an ancient one and a modern-built Youfang Street. As well as unique shops the old street has many snacks stores, restaurants, and silver products stores.
Original Lifestyle of Miao Nationality: If one wants to appreciate the local life, wandering around maybe the best way. Roaming around the wooden-stilted houses and twisting lanes, travelers can see and absorb the authentic local life. Around Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village, one can see the terrace and appreciate how locals work on the farms.
The Panorama of the Village: The best place to see the panorama of Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village is the Sightseeing Platform. Many visitors like to take photos from here. One can even rent a traditional costume of the Miao people if you are interested. Viewing the night scene on the platform is the most wonderful thing. The lamps of different houses twinkling in the dark make the night bewitching. It is really worth seeing.

Quilts of Southwest China
Textiles are material evidence of history and culture and can tell us much about trade, religion, traditions, migration, communities, and individuals. The intangible characteristics—the uses, meanings, stories, skills and knowledge about production—associated with these textiles are often integral to the identity and cultural heritage of individuals and communities.
The textile traditions in China of making and using quilts or bedcovers have received little attention by scholars, collectors, and museums; few examples are in public or private collections and little has been published on them. The research and collecting done for Quilts of Southwest China provides some of the first documentation of the intangible and tangible cultural heritage associated with the practices of piecing and appliquéing fabric together to form artistic and functional textiles.
Visit quiltstudy.org to view the online exhibition and learn detailed information about the pieces featured in this video.
Quilts of Southwest China originated and debuted at Michigan State University Museum in 2015. The International Quilt Study Center & Museum version of the exhibition includes pieces from the IQSCM collection in addition to those from the Yunnan Nationalities Museum, Guangxi Nationalities Museum and Guizhou Nationalities Museum that were part of the original MSUM installation. Curators of the IQSCM exhibition: Marsha MacDowell, Ph.D. (MSUM), Lijun Zhang, Ph.D. (Guangxi Nationalities Museum) and Marin Hanson, M.A. (IQSCM).
This exhibition would not have been possible without the commitment of the following institutions to engage in and support a collaborative, bi-national research inquiry into the intangible and tangible aspects of a material culture tradition in southwest China:
Michigan State University Museum (East Lansing, Michigan, USA), Mathers Museum of World Cultures, Indiana University (Bloomington, Indiana, USA), Museum of International Folk Art (Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA), Yunnan Nationalities Museum (Kunming, Yunnan, China), Guangxi Nationalities Museum (Nanning, Guangxi, China), Guizhou Nationalities Museum (Guiyang, Guizhou, China), and the International Quilt Study Center and Museum, University of Nebraska-Lincoln (Lincoln, Nebraska, USA).
Guizhou, China (Part 2)
A group of 28 friends toured Guizhou, China in April 2009. This video records their visit to Xingyi's Wedding Museum to learn the culture of its people and to Wanfenglin Park where they beheld the unique beauty of its many cone mountains. They walked through a village in its valley to see how the villagers lived and tracked through the rough but magnificent Melinghe Gorge. The finale of this part of the sojourn was to experience the power and vastness of the Huangguoshu Waterfall.

Zhucheng was truly a dinosaur world in the late Cretaceous era. The natural habitat was very suitable for dinosaurs. Zhucheng had huge inland lakes during the late Cretaceous period, plenty of underwater vegetation, plus a humid climate. So, overall, it was very good for dinosaurs to live here.
