The Xijiang Miao Ethnic village, known as the biggest Miao village in the world, is located in the southeast of Guizhou Province£¬China. For centuries the Miao have settled amidst this tranquil foothills and valleys undulating away from their revered mountain. Xijiang contains many examples of Miao architecture, which is known for its harmony with nature. Many of the inhabitants live in a type of house known as diao jiao lou. These are wooden houses with tile roofs and stilt-like supports built on hillsides. At night, standing on the top of mountain, a brid-eye view of Xijiang is so magnificent. Every family is lighting up, smell of meals and children's cheering sound make us homesick.
