I soaked in a private hot spring amidst the thousands of lights in Qianhu Miao Village

Absolutely in love with Xijiang, probably because I was struck by the nightscape of this thousand-year-old Miao village!!! Obsessively watching the sea of lights gradually illuminate the stilted houses from the observation deck – this is the romance unique to Miao villages. No tourist crowds, just me enjoying this secluded paradise. 📍Artisan Homestay·Yu Gui Private Hot Spring (Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village Observation Deck Branch) Their afternoon tea and breakfast are incredibly thoughtful, with handmade Miao-style rice noodles cooked fresh to order. Stayed for three days and didn’t want to leave at all. The homestay’s service spoils guests like royalty – the butler warmly welcomes you and fulfills every request. In the afternoon, they deliver exquisite afternoon tea and cakes. Sitting on the balcony, enjoying the treats while taking in the view is pure bliss. Breakfast is freshly prepared based on the number of guests, with deliciously fragrant noodle soup. Upon checkout, they even give a farewell gift. Scenic views, hot spring soaking, and photo ops 📸 – this place has it all. The room’s balcony is a viral photo spot, and Miao ethnic costumes are available to borrow for free. In the evening, scattering rose petals in the private hot spring while hearing the amazed gasps of tourists below – that’s when you truly understand what it means to "live within the scenery."
