This is the most difficult one among the four routes we launched this time. It requires renting a car from another place, traveling through bumpy areas, and climbing over mountains and ridges - it is also the most difficult one at the entrance of the alley. The little girl looked at me curiously with her big eyes. She looked so cute that I couldn't help but press the shutter on her. The girl’s grandma would definitely drag me home for dinner. I had to be on my way, so I declined repeatedly, but she chased me a few steps further and stuffed me with a bag of hot sweet potatoes.

Basha Village

Basha Village is located in Congjiang County, Guizhou Province. It is the residence of the legendary descendants of Chi You. It is the most authentic Miao ethnic group and a living fossil of Miao ecological culture.

Stepping onto the stone road into the village, you immediately enter a peaceful world where time is reversed. The ancient trees in Basha Village are towering, and the stilted floors are spread out one after another. The roofs of many houses are only covered with bark, making them look somewhat withered and dilapidated. None of the women I met in the village spoke Chinese, and they just paid attention to me as an intruder.

The new 321 National Highway runs west along the north bank of the Duliu River to the Rongjiang River. The asphalt road has been opened to traffic. The old national highway has been abandoned. However, in order to develop Basha's special tourism, this section of the road has been paved with asphalt. .

Ticket to visit Basha Village is 10 yuan.

Zhao Pilot projects for the protection of ethnic and folk culture.

There are some family inns and snack bars on Zhaoxing Street that can accommodate tourists. The Cultural Station Guest House is a good one. They have hand-drawn maps that can tell you the route to Shuikou to Sanjiang Dudong. In addition, there are several decent souvenir shops selling Dong-specific embroidery products and various silver ornaments. The prices vary a lot, so you have to ask a few more. It is better to buy embroidery products from embroiderers, which can be found in the village. If you walk around, you can see women working hard at embroidery.

Most women in Zhaoxing do not understand Chinese, so when communicating with them, they need to find a man to translate. Zhaoxing is hidden in the mountains at the junction of Guizhou, Guangxi and Hunan provinces, more than 70 kilometers away from Liping County. Although the highway conditions in southeastern Guizhou have greatly improved, the mountain road leading to Zhaoxing is still rugged. Zhaoxing seems to be a reward for the arduous journey, which makes people's eyes light up.
