The Xijiang Qianhu Miao village in Leishan county, Southwest China's Guizhou province, is all dressed up and ready, looking forward to a unique Miao New Year feast in November.

The Miao New Year is one of the most important festivals of the Miao ethnic group, combining celebration, commemoration, and worship, and embodying the reverence of the Miao people towards nature and their ancestors.

During the celebrations, visitors will have the opportunity to participate in a long table banquet with Miao people, enjoying Miao specialty wines and dishes, singing and dancing to Miao songs, and experiencing the pure joy of the Miao people.

At the long table banquet, the delicious sour fish soup, rich Miao smoked pork, sticky rice, fragrant rice wine, and other Miao foods will tantalize the taste buds.

Amidst laughter and cheers, raise a toast and feel the genuine warmth and enthusiasm of the Miao people. This November, the Xijiang Qianhu Miao village will celebrate the Miao New Year in its own unique way.
