Explore the Millennium Yao Village, hidden in the deep mountains of Qingyuan, with beautiful scenery and a tour guide.

Seeing more tall buildings and man-made landscapes in the city,

As soon as I stepped into the Millennium Yao Village, I felt cordial and rare.

More than 800 ancient buildings are full of simple and quaint charm.

Let people unconsciously slow down and take a deep breath.

Millennium Yao Village needs no deliberate carving.

Still keep the original simple appearance,

Waiting silently for the right person to arrive.

After three and a half hours' drive, we finally came to the Millennium Yao Village like a paradise.

Nangang Yaozhai, which bears a thousand years of civilization, is located in Sanpai Town, Yao Autonomous County, Liannan County, Qingyuan. It can be called Millennium Yaozhai, because it was built in the Song Dynasty and has a history of 1000 years!

Despite thousands of years of wind and rain, today's Millennium Yaozhai still retains 398 ancient buildings built in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Time seems to be still, and the Millennium Yaozhai, which is not rich in commercial atmosphere, is still a quiet look.

According to experts' research, Millennium Yao Village in Nangang is the largest, oldest and most distinctive Yao Village in China.

She is built on a hillside more than 800 meters high, with the height of each front room and back room scattered, and every household can see the picturesque karst landform surrounded by mountains in front of the door.

Seen from a distance, Millennium Yao Village has the style of Greek santorini.

Rows of houses, straight streets, local materials, paving with stones, all the residents are connected together, forming a building complex with Yao school characteristics, adding unique charm to the Millennium Yao village.

I have always liked the poem Once Slow:

"In the past, the color of the sun changed slowly, and the mail was slow. I have only loved one person in my life. "

Wandering in the Millennium Yaozhai, you can deeply feel the "once slow";

There is no elevator going up the mountain, only a step stone road paved with bluestone slabs. If you want to carry materials up the mountain, you can't use a cart, you can only rely on manpower or horses.

Horses that can only be seen once in the zoo now are easy to meet in Millennium Yao Village. They can not only take photos, but also be "masters" and sit on the saddle of "White Horse Dragon" to see the scenery.

Ancient Zhaimen, Wang Pan Temple, Getangping, Dejishi, Dragon Culture Observation Platform, Ancient sarcophagus site, Medicine Old Room, Yaowu Square ... These preserved monuments are scattered in different corners of Yaozhai, which makes the ancient Yaozhai look more profound and heavy. They are the best testimony of the prosperity of the Millennium Yaozhai in the past.

If you want to appreciate the history and scenery of the Millennium Yao Village, you can choose to ask a tour guide to explain it while listening to the introduction and sightseeing.

In addition, you can start from Guzhaimen and follow your heart. It doesn't have to be divided into southeast and northwest. Stepping on the smooth and round stone road trampled by years, you can feel the grand occasion of the Millennium Yao Village.

In order to have a more in-depth experience, I specially rented Yao clothes as "Sha Yaomei".

You can rent it in the tourist service center of the scenic spot, and you can rent it for 3 hours for 30 yuan, which is very cost-effective!

After renting clothes, Miss Yaozhai will patiently guide you to dress up, from clothes to hairstyle.

In the standard Yao costume, the girl's hair is wrapped in an embroidered handkerchief with a white bead string on it.

In addition, it is also very beautiful and dignified to insert white fur, silver hairpin, silver hairpin, mountain flower and other decorations.

Through the headdress, we can also distinguish the marital status of Yao women: all women wearing headscarves are married; An unmarried girl has no handkerchief wrapped around her head!

Wearing the costume of Millennium Yao Village, walking aimlessly in the alley without looking at the map. There is no sense of oppression, no artificial imitation, no similarity of antique buildings.

You only need to shuttle through the rows of diaojiao buildings, and you can find different beauty.

Millennium Yaozhai is like a pot of good tea and a good book. You need to read her years slowly and carefully.

Walking along the rugged stone road, you can see some well-preserved historical sites along the way: for example, facilities for pounding rice with water, such as the fountain of youth, such as the Millennium ancient waterwheel, have been preserved for hundreds of years, which is very interesting.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Yao Zhai built four gates according to the four clans of Deng, Tang, Pan and Fang, which were used for the defense of major ethnic groups.

The blue brick at the gate of the ancient village deeply depicts the traces of years of baptism, and there is a lady vaguely. Ten thousand can't force it to defend Yaozhai from bandits and officials for thousands of years, which makes people feel awe-inspiring.

Today, the ancient village gate is very lively. In order to let tourists better experience Yao culture and feel the hospitality of Yao locals, there is a special wine here. The shamao girl dressed in Yao costumes will send each guest a bowl of rice wine brewed by herself.

Located in the Millennium Yaozhai on the mountain, the temperature will be 6-8 degrees higher than the bottom of the county. Thanks to this bowl of wine, I feel a strong warm current in my body after drinking it, and the whole person is warm, so I have the cheek to ask for another bowl!

When I got to the stone, I always wondered why it was called stone.

It turned out that 1400 years ago, a herbalist in Yaozhai saved a blind fairy. The fairy thanked the pharmacist and told him that there were many gold bricks in the ditch under the big stone slab behind the house.

As expected, pharmacists and Yao people found a large number of gold bricks in the place mentioned by the immortal, and used them to build village walls, gates and other public facilities in Yao village.

Now Deshishi is a must-punch point in Millennium Yaozhai, because there are tea shops, century-old tofu shops and yuba shops. When you are tired and thirsty, you can rest here and taste the unique tofu flower in Yaozhai.

Secondly, the name of the stone has a good meaning. Everyone hopes to get gold in the future, and life will get better and better.

In the same position as the stone, there is also Getangping in Yaozhai.

Yao people are good at singing and dancing. Getangping, which is 9 meters wide and 9 meters long, has been the activity center of the Yao people for thousands of years, and every major festival in Zhaili will be held here.

In 1950s, the world classic music Yao Dance was also composed in Getangping. When the Yao Festival comes here, you can enjoy the visual feast of playing gongs, blowing horns, singing Yao songs and dancing long drums.

Personally, I especially like the location of Getangping. Looking back, I can look at the scattered houses and enjoy the beautiful scenery. At this moment, time seems to go backwards and stand still, leading us back to thousands of years ago.

Go straight up from Getangping, and you will reach the Wang Pan Temple at the top of the mountain.

Looking down at Wang Pan Temple, you will feel that other mountains are short in the sky. ..

Wang Pan Temple enshrines Pangu King and Pangu Wang Po. It is said that burning incense and praying for blessings is effective, so incense has been burning here for thousands of years.

While praying devoutly, we quietly watched how the local people burned incense and bowed down to experience the traditional culture of Yao nationality.

According to reports, it is necessary to follow the inherent process of burning incense and praying for blessings, during which they will carry out various ceremonies to be completed.

When you get to the tomb of the ancient sarcophagus, you won't feel gloomy and horrible. It's very open here, and there are no tombstones. You can relax and learn about the history and culture of Yao nationality.

The sarcophagus tomb is a unique funeral in Nangang Yao village for thousands of years. The sarcophagus tomb is a symbol of status rights, and only Yao Wang is qualified to be buried in the sarcophagus tomb.

After the founding of New China, Yao wanted to make progress and volunteered not to bury the sarcophagus, so the sarcophagus was kept in the thatched cottage.

Yao Wang is the supreme leader of Paiyao Village in Nangang, responsible for all affairs in the village, handling all kinds of disputes and maintaining order.

Therefore, Yao Wang has a high prestige among the Yao people. In case of contradiction and dispute, everyone must abide by Yao Wang's ruling.

In the Millennium Yao Village, Wang Yao's former residence and the old medicine home are all worth seeing. When you come down from Qingshiban Street, and when you come down from another slate step on the left, you will meet the most important places in Yaozhai: Yaowangwu, Yaolao Parliament Hall, Hongxiu Quanchuan Church and so on.

Yaowangwu, located in the middle of a semi-bungalow, has a spacious platform in front with the widest view and overlooking the mountains.

Keep walking, and you will come to the old medicine room.

In the old meeting hall of Yao nationality, there are vivid portraits simulating the meeting scene of the old Yao nationality.

Next to Yao Lao's secret room is the "Hong Xiuquan Chuan Tang". Several paintings and appliances are displayed in the room, which reminds people of the scene of that year.

After walking out of the old medicine room, we walked all the way to the right and finally stopped at the Dragon Culture Observation Deck.

The landscape atmosphere here is simple and quiet, and the scenery of Yaozhai and Baili Yaoshan is panoramic, which is refreshing.

Yao Dance Square in Millennium Yao Village will stage Song Yao and dance performances for tourists at a fixed time every day.

The dance presents a series of wonderful performances, such as Yaoshan love story, Yaoshan big black umbrella dance, and original ecological long drum dance.

There is an interactive session. During the 40-minute performance, the audience had a good time and fully integrated into the Yao culture.

There are 72 sets of performances, which are divided into "solo dance", "duet dance" and "group dance". Each set is divided into several animal details such as "getting up" and "moving the hall".

Whether it is jumping, jumping, squatting, falling or spinning, flapping, jumping and lifting, it shows the warm, strong and brave personality characteristics of the Yao people.

Walking in the Millennium Yao Village, you can still see Aunt Yao's diligent embroidery. With her exquisite embroidery technology and unique embroidery style, she has always been a living fossil of Yao cultural changes.

Most Yao girls began to learn embroidery at the age of eleven or twelve. Embroidery products are mainly used as accessories for clothes, men's and women's clothing, headscarves, belts, aprons, children's hats, satchels, umbrella bags and other items.

Liannan Yao nationality has a long history in making silver ornaments. The forging skill of Yao silver ornaments is unique to Yao people, and all the ornaments are handmade. The style and structure of silver ornaments have been carefully designed by craftsmen. There are more than 30 processes from drawing to carving, and the technical level is very high.

It is a good choice to buy a Yao silver ornament in the Millennium Yaozhai. It is said that it can bring good luck and keep safe!

Wang Pan Festival is the biggest traditional festival of Yao nationality. During the exercise, the Yao people will put on traditional holiday costumes, and then worship their ancestors, pray for good luck, and inherit and carry forward the traditional culture of Yao people by singing and dancing, firing salutes, blowing horns, cruising in Yao village, eating long table banquets and playing bonfire parties.

When you first see the accommodation environment of Millennium Yaozhai, you may not be ecstatic:

There are no chain hotels or five-star hotels here. They are all small hotels transformed by local people. The scale is not large, and the guest room area is not large.

But as long as you stay, you will be infected by the enthusiasm and mellow of the local people. Sincerity and enthusiasm from the heart make people feel as comfortable as living in an old friend's house.

The room conditions are not luxurious, but they have the taste of Yao's family. The sheets with Yao's characteristics and the decoration style are very distinctive.

If it is sunny, you can also watch the stars and watch the sunrise and sunset!

We stayed at Tianjing Inn this time, and when we walked out of the gate, we could overlook a landscape and countryside, which was very pleasant!

There are many delicious foods worth tasting in Yaozhai:

Millennium Yaozhai is located at a high altitude. When the autumn wind blows, it is especially suitable for drying raw bacon.

Walking in Yaozhai, I saw that almost every household was drying sausages and preserved ducks, and the aroma was attractive.

Yao Jia Tofu Square yuba Factory, the pure natural yuba is full of the fragrance of soybeans, and it is certainly not to be missed.

Walking chickens can be seen everywhere, and they are full of exercise. Every chicken is delicious, with firm meat and crisp skin.

There are also beef hooves, local pork, raw pit fish and so on. There is no complicated or tall cooking method, just simple cooking, but you can eat the most essential and original taste of the ingredients.

There are many Lianzhou-style restaurants near Xiangniutan in Yaozhai. The price is approachable and the product is good.

Brother Si's handmade lemon tea is my favorite shop. You can not only enjoy the first-class scenery while drinking lemon tea, but also provide breakfast such as rice rolls, soup powder and fried powder. It will be open from 6 am.
