Wendou Miao Village
文斗苗寨
A Miao village on a hillside above the Qingshui River, where nearly every household keeps Qing-dynasty forestry contracts. Ancient trees, stone-slab paths and stilt houses make a picturesque scene.
Wendou Miao Village lies in Hekou Township, about 35 km from Jinping County seat, on the north bank of the Qingshui River. More than 400 Miao households live here in wooden stilt houses. The village preserves a large number of Qing-dynasty mountain-forest sale and tenancy contracts, making it one of the main sources of the 'Jinping Documents.' The village also has groves of ancient trees, environmental protection steles and stone-paved ancient trails, which reflect the local forestry tradition of 'planting trees, felling timber and rafting logs.' You can hike the old trail and look down over the Qingshui River. It's a good place to spend half a day.
