Answer everything with beauty, the Miao Village of Xijiang

"Answer everything with beauty", Yu Qiuyu praised the Xijiang Miao Village in this way. So, with my family, I drove thousands of miles to Xijiang Miao Village to find beauty. The Xijiang Miao Village is located in Leishan County, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province, situated above the valley, with the Baishui River winding and flowing through the village. The residences in the Miao Village are mostly stilted buildings, built according to the mountain, from the foot of the mountain to the top, following the trend, staggered and orderly. The Miao Village is bustling during the day, with many tourists. My daughter, who was in kindergarten at the time, liked the excitement and was very happy along the way, wanting to buy any souvenir she saw. Whenever she saw something new, she always had to ask until she got to the bottom of it. The colorful Miao costumes attracted my daughter's great interest, and she kept clamoring to take photos for memory, changing several sets of clothes, posing for many POSS, and still not willing to stop. It seems that children are naturally fond of excitement. But I prefer the Miao Village in the early morning and evening. The Miao family inn where I stayed is located halfway up the mountain and can enjoy the panoramic view of the entire Miao Village. In the early morning, standing in front of the window, the sky began to drizzle, staring at this ancient village in the misty rain. My thoughts seemed to have traveled through a thousand years of history, and there seemed to be a dreamlike voice in my ears, telling the touching stories that have been passed down in the village for hundreds of years. After nightfall, the entire Miao Village is lit up from the foot of the mountain to the top, with colorful lights, like a market in the sky, beautiful. The Miao Village at night is a paradise for photography enthusiasts, and the sound of "long guns and short cannons" shutters is endless on the viewing platform. Unfortunately, my camera and photography skills are very poor, and I can't freeze this beautiful scene on film, so I can only turn this beautiful scene into a memory in my mind. At night, walking along the Baishui River, the small bar by the river is playing Teresa Teng's "Small Town Story": There are many stories in the small town, full of joy and happiness. If you come to the small town, you will gain a lot. It looks like a painting, it sounds like a song, the realm of life is true, good and beautiful here is included... Starlight, lights, villages, plus this weeping song, all these really fascinate people, and also confirm Yu Qiuyu's praise of Xijiang Miao Village - "Answer everything with beauty".
