Miao village in Kaili Guizhou
Here is my visit to the Miao village in Kaili, Guizhou last semester. I finally gathered the clips and made a video of this amazing experience. The video itself cannot describe the many emotions that I encountered through this adventure, but it gives you a glimpse of some of the wonderful moments that took place in the Miao village. Enjoy!! :)

A very Warm welcome in Xijiang (minority Miao village in China)
When we visited Xijiang we happened to befriend the Police Chief’s daughter. We ended up getting such a VIP treatment. Riding in the Police command-car everywhere, getting free access to the cultural show, and having a lavish 13-year meal in a super nice restaurant with traditional music and rituals. The latter really caught us by surprise. This video was made by my bf Christian and shows how shocked and confused he is when the locals starts pouring rice wine down his throat and wiping pig fat on his lips. He had no idea what was going on. The wine was made from glutinous rice and tasted really sweet and yummy. The alcohol percentage is about the same as normal wine (10-15%). After looking around the town and trying some traditional costumes we went back to the restaurant and to our Big surprise it happened all over Again. We had just feasted on a sumptuous meal (traditionally only to be enjoyed Once every 13 years), and four hours later we were back for a second serving. With the music, the rituals, and a massive amount of rice wine, Again. This time we were joined at the table by the Police Chief himself, the restaurant owner, and a guy that according to the Police Chief is “One of the 10 best policemen in China”. It was surreal. To top it all we got silver and tea as gifts! Such an unforgettable day! Thanks to our friends in Xijiang.

Xijang Miao Village in Guanzhou Province, China
Hidden in the folds of the Leigong Hills, Xijiang is thought to be the largest Miao village. It's a superbly picturesque place, set in a natural basin and bordered by paddy fields drenched in green, with wooden houses rising up the hillside. The village is a site in itself and there are also plenty of pleasant walks you can take around the hillside.
Xijiang has a population of nearly six thousand, making it one of the largest Miao villages, though technically it is comprised of eight smaller villages located close to one another. Like most Miao villages, Xijiang lies in a valley. Situated on two hills in the valley, a small stream bisects the village.
Xijiang contains many examples of Miao architecture, which is known for its harmony with nature. Many of the inhabitants live in a type of house known as diao jiao lou. These are wooden houses with tile roofs and stilt-like supports built on hillsides. Cobblestone paths hiding under the tiled eaves lead the way to each Miao family. Xijiang`s silverwork and batik also rank among the village`s claims to fame.
Senior Miao women wear their long dark hair coiled up in neat buns on the top of their heads while the younger Miao women prefer to adorn them with large colorful plastic or bone combs and pretty flowers. Each woman has her traditional clothing, head dress and other jewelery which is worn at special festivals throughout the year.
