Tay Jiang Miao camp, the 1,700-year-old ancient village of the Miao ethnic group in China
Tay Giang Miao camp is home to the largest concentration of Miao (Miao) ethnic groups in China, with about 6,000 people and formed about 1,700 years ago.
This place is located about 260 km from Guiyang city, the capital of Guizhou province. With the surrounding terrain of high mountains difficult to access, until 2001, the new Mieu camp was discovered and connected with the outside. In the past 10 years, this place has been upgraded in terms of traffic and services, so more and more tourists come to visit and relax

.
All architectures here are unified in terms of colors and construction materials. The homeowners even have to spray paint on the newly built house to create the old look similar to the old houses around. Many tourism businesses specializing in exploiting China tours predict this destination will soon be known by Vietnamese tourists as the ancient Phuong Hoang town
The tiled roofs of the houses in Tay Giang Miao camp are all kinds of gray and black yin and yang tiles, stacked together.



Mieu Trai has weather similar to Sapa in Vietnam, cool in summer and snow may appear in winter.
The Miao women dance to the khene during a cultural show at the collective courtyard. These events take place every day throughout the Xiangjiang Miao camp to serve tourists and also a way for people to maintain culture and customs.
Mieu women often use silver jewelry. This metal occupies a very important position in the life and spirit of the Miao people. Since ancient times, the Miao know how to use silver to test poison in food and drink or to use them to scrape the wind, as offerings in major events.
The typical drink in Tay Giang Mieu Trai is rice wine, the taste is quite similar to glutinous wine, can wine in Vietnam
The Mieu people have a very characteristic way of inviting guests to drink wine.



Visitors just need to sit at the table, the girls will come to sing and invite drinks. Wine is poured down from top to bottom until guests can no longer drink. This is a long-standing culture of the Mieu here. Tourists can experience an early booking with restaurant owners to prepare them.
The main means of transportation for visitors is tram with a fare of 5 yuan (about 17,000 VND) to travel between destinations in the tourist area.
The shops here often hang buffalo, goat and some animals with intact horns in front of the door. Horned species are considered by the Miao to be sacred animals to sacrifice in rituals or to create everyday objects.
Tourists coming to Mieu Trai will find many shops selling silverware and horns.

There are also stalls for renting clothes and jewelry for tourists to take photos while dressing up as Mieu people. The price of a full set of accessories is 30 yuan (about 100,000 VND), with no time limit. The best time to come to Xijiang Miao camp is around May 5-7 when the weather is cool. The Lunar New Year is also a suitable time to come here because many unique traditional activities are held.
