The "Best Scenic Spot" Nestled on the Mountainside of the Miao Village

Staying at the 1618·Defu Panorama Hotel was the smartest choice during my trip to Xijiang Thousand Household Miao Village! The location is absolutely unbeatable—just take the sightseeing bus from the West Gate of the scenic area to Stop 1 Bridge, and you'll find it within a few minutes' walk 🏞️. Perched on the mountainside at the heart of the village, the hotel offers breathtaking views the moment you open the window: to the left, the staggered stilt houses of the Miao Village glow like a galaxy of lights 🌌; to the right, the rolling emerald-green terraced fields are shrouded in morning mist, like a fairyland 🍃! A true "two-scenes-in-one" experience—watch the clouds drift by day and the sparkling lights at night, until your camera runs out of battery 📸! 🚶‍♀️ Convenience at its best! Foodie paradise 🍢: Just 3 minutes downstairs to the barbecue and snack streets, where the sour fish soup and cured meat sticky rice will make you linger! Explore the core area 🎉: The ancient street entrance, Youfang Street, and sightseeing bus stops are all within a 3-minute walk! After visiting the museum or enjoying the "Beautiful Xijiang" evening show 🎭, it’s a breeze to stroll back to the hotel while slurping rice noodles. Vibrant nightlife 🌙: Folk songs from the bar street, the jingling silver accessories at photo studios, and laughter from KTVs are all within reach—yet the mountainside location keeps it peaceful, offering the perfect balance of excitement and tranquility 💯! 💡 Little surprises Next to the hotel is the artsy Ox Shed Camp, a photogenic spot 📸; A short walk to the sightseeing bus stop makes trips to the viewing platform and museum effortless 🚌; 🌟 In short: A paradise for lazy travelers, foodies, and photographers! Staying here means effortlessly enjoying the essence of the Miao Village—no need to hike or squeeze onto crowded viewing platforms, as postcard-worthy views are right outside your window 🏞️. Step downstairs for all the excitement, then return to your peaceful retreat. The value for money is so good it’ll bring tears to your eyes—I’ll definitely stay here again next time! ✅ Key highlights: Prime location, unbeatable dual views, zero distance to food and fun, a lazy traveler’s dream! 👟 Pro tip: A few steps to climb on the mountainside, so pack light for an easier trip~
