After the May Day holiday, the work is getting busier and busier, and the whole person feels a little trance under the pressure. My boyfriend suggested that I take a short long vacation and take me around Zhangjiajie to breathe fresh air and relieve stress. I suddenly remembered how carefree we were when we spent more than 10 hours on a green train with our classmates to visit Phoenix in college, so we finally included Xiangxi in our travel plan.

For the first stop of the journey, we chose the Top Ten Forest Parks in Wulingyuan, Zhangjiajie. Walking in the park, you immediately feel like being embraced by a natural oxygen bar. The cells in your body exude joy and joy. Listening to the cheerful bird chirping, the crisp ding-sound of mountain springs, and the blowing breeze, the whole person's body and mind were comforted, and the pressure was greatly reduced.

For the second stop, after recommendation from a friend, we finally chose Hangwu Miao Village, Morong Town, Guzhang County, Xiangxi Autonomous Prefecture, Hunan Province. The reason for choosing this Miao Village was not only its widely praised customs and customs, but also heard that Song Zuying's grandmother also lived in this village. I really wanted to explore what kind of place cultivated Song Zuying, a famous predecessor. Accompanied by the accompaniment of "Spicy girls are spicy, spicy girls are spicy, spicy girls are spicy, and girls are not afraid of spicy food since childhood", we set out to Ramwu Miao Village!

"Hangwu" is Miao dialect, meaning "clear creek", and "Zhangwu Miao Village" means "Miao Village by the clear creek". The residential houses of Hangwu Miao Village are all built near mountains and rivers, simple and distinctive. The folk customs are simple and their temperament is straightforward. 30% of the Miao people in the village still cannot speak Chinese. We were still worried about whether there would be some communication inconvenience, but the facts later told us to think too much. If we really can't communicate, there is nothing that can't be solved with a smile ~

Before we reached Zhaizikou, we saw a group of Miao people dressed up and wearing Miao silver ornaments welcoming us from afar. Walking closer, I found nine young Miao girls holding a five-color brocade embroidered with dragon and phoenix patterns ten meters long and two feet wide blocking the way. Behind the girls stood two strong men holding wine jars. It turned out that this is the legendary "door-blocking wine", which represents the Miao people's attitude of being polite and candid to treat guests and make friends. After drinking the wine, we also sang folk songs with the Miao Village Song King and beat the world's largest drum. The simple enthusiasm of the Miao Village people slowly infected me, and the pressure in my heart was released more.

Walking into Zhangwu Miao Village, you can see all the comfortable green at a glance. The houses with curling smoke emit fascinating fireworks from the world. Children passing by laughed happily, and the world became gentle. Walking hand in hand with my boyfriend on the peaceful rural road to talk about each other's sorrows and troubles, and giving all the pressure to the mountains and rivers, we regained our innocence for the beginning of life.

I am a person who is very fascinated by silver ornaments, especially when I was walking in the stockade, the Miao girls I met were all wearing exquisite silver ornaments. They all wanted to rush up and ask if they would sell them. Fortunately, my boyfriend stopped me, otherwise it would be rude! But maybe my eyes were too fierce, and a Miao girl passing by came back and asked if we needed help. The Miao people were too enthusiastic! Then she told us that there was a silverware cooperative in the stockade! Immediately took my boyfriend to the cooperative, hahaha, now I want to laugh when I think of my boyfriend's helpless look.

Following the route given by the Miao Village girl, we walked about 10 minutes to the silverware cooperative. Each piece of exquisite silver ornaments was placed like works of art, and we wanted to buy them home! I asked about the price, 35 yuan/gram, which is similar to the outside, but the workmanship is much more refined. The master in the silversmith cooperative told us that it takes a silversmith with more than ten years of experience to complete a silver bracelet in 4 days, a silver bowl in ten days, and a silver pot in two months. Every piece of jewelry is infused with the silversmith's full efforts. Finally, I ordered a pair of couple rings, a bracelet, and a necklace with my boyfriend. The master said that it would take about 10 days to work. When we get home, we will almost be there. Looking forward to it ~

When we left, we noticed that this silverware cooperative was an intangible cultural heritage poverty alleviation employment workshop, so we went back and ordered two more bracelets. It was regarded as a reward for the enthusiasm of the local people. We hoped that people in the village could live better and better.

After visiting the stockade, the Miao people also prepared for us a drum dance with Miao characteristics and an intense fire-swallowing performance. Although they were not selected as an interactive audience, they did not affect us from cheering and laughing together at all. My real name envies this sister who was selected to interact, and hopes that she can choose me as the lucky audience next time she comes over to play. By the way, the local food is also delicious, worth a try!

After dinner, we began the third stop of our journey: Fenghuang Ancient Town. The hotel we chose to stay at this time is the Suru Lotus Hotel located in the ancient town. It is a moderate distance to the surrounding scenic spots and the living environment is also very comfortable. It is very suitable for lazy people like us who sleep well before traveling. After coming out, I felt that my whole body and mind relaxed a lot. No wonder everyone said that "one of my body and soul must be on the road." For friends under pressure, it is time to arrange a trip. I hope we can all follow our original aspirations and be simple.
