Xijiang Thousand Miao Stockaded Village 西江千户苗寨

Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village is the largest Miao settlement in China, and the largest in the world as well.

The village is not a single hamlet, but a cluster of over a dozen natural villages connected together. In total, there are more than 1,400 households, home to over 6,000 Miao people.

The village sits on the riverbank slopes at the foot of Leigong Mountain, with the Baishui River flowing right through the middle. The houses are all wooden stilted buildings, stacked layer upon layer from the foot of the mountain all the way up to the summit. When the lights come on at night, the entire village appears quiet and tranquil, with a touch of mystery.

The Miao people living here are descendants of Chiyou, a legendary tribal leader in ancient China. Their ancestors moved many times over the centuries before finally settling down in this place.

As saying goes: "Beauty is the answer to everything—visit Xijiang and you will know the Miao villages under heaven."

西江千户苗寨是中国最大也是全世界最大的的苗族寨子。这个寨子不是单独一个村，是十几个自然村连在一起形成的。一共有一千四百多户人家，住了六千多个苗族人。
寨子建在雷公山下面的河边坡地上，有条白水河从中间穿过去。房子都是木头盖的吊脚楼，从山脚一直盖到山顶，一层一层的。晚上灯亮起来，整个寨子看着很安静，颇有点神秘感。
住在这里的苗族人是蚩尤的后代。他们的老祖先搬了很多次家，最后才在这儿定下来。
有说："以美丽回答一切，看西江知天下苗寨"。
