Qiandongnan·The last sanctuary for the weary human soul

Let go of the Qianhu Miao Village, this is the last secret place on earth! Having visited more than a dozen villages in Guizhou, I still like Qiandongnan the most. It is acclaimed by the United Nations as The last sanctuary for the weary human soul. Primitive and simple, yet full of life and fragrance. 3.5 hours by high-speed train from Guangzhou. No hustle and bustle of traffic, only distant mountains, terraced fields, and cooking smoke. No spiritual exhaustion, only singing Dong songs and playing the Lusheng. Rice and fish soup, people who love the specifics of life. Learn Dong embroidery with the embroiderers, make glutinous rice cakes with grandma. Drink and feast at the long table banquet with mountain spring water... Whenever you come here, you can always find the poetry of life.
