It is the largest Miao Village in China, with more than 1,000 households, so it is called Qianhu Miao Village. It is composed of more than ten natural villages built on the mountain.

Taste the sour fish soup
The sour fish soup is red in color, mellow, and sour in taste. It is a traditional delicacy protected by geographical indications in Kaili.

Spring, summer and autumn are the golden seasons for traveling to Guizhou. To watch the waterfall and choose the rafting project, it is best to choose the season when there is plenty of water or the weather is warmer. The best way to experience ethnic customs is to travel to Guizhou during ethnic festivals, such as spring, March 3 before spring plowing, June 6 after summer harvest, and October Duan Festival after autumn harvest.
Not all areas in Guizhou are cool, like Southeast Guizhou, Southwest Guizhou is still relatively hot. If you don’t want to feel the ethnic customs, I suggest you go to Southeast Guizhou. If you just want to relax in the summer and see the mountains and rivers, Huangguoshu Waterfall are the best choice.
It is cool but the UV rays are not low, so bring sunscreen items. Guizhou is a city that is cold as long as it rains. It is cold in the morning and evening, and hot at noon. It is best to bring a thin coat. You can wear a skirt at noon if you want to take beautiful photos.
If you want to live in the scenic area, you can book tickets in advance. There are a lot of hotel accommodations in Qianhu Miao Village and Zhenyuan. If you usually go, you don’t need to book in advance.
From Guiyang to departure, you can choose air, high-speed rail, train, car and other transportation methods. After arriving in the county, there will be a dedicated bus scenic area.
