Longjiajie

Longjiajie

A national agricultural tourism demonstration site. The Longjiajie and Guanba Miao Village scenic areas stretch across the eastern and western outskirts of Xianfeng County, with 38 kilometers of main scenic roads. The area boasts rich attractions and pleasant scenery, integrating eco-tourism, leisure vacations, and cultural experiences.

Visiting Longjiajie allows you to overlook rolling mountain ranges, listen to the rustling of pine and cypress trees, admire eco-agricultural landscapes, experience the culture of the Tujia and Miao peoples, and enjoy the fun of farm work. The sea of clouds, sunrise, and sunset are especially spectacular. Fishing, mushroom picking, and pear harvesting are great sources of joy. The vast pear orchards spread their fragrance far and wide, and local legends are shrouded in mystery. Flying kites, picking wild fruits, and tasting wild tea bring delight and enchantment. Drinking mountain spring water, enjoying farmhouse meals, and sipping youcha (oil tea soup) leave a lasting impression.

Guanba Miao Village has a long history, having been established over 300 years ago. With more than 500 households and a total population of nearly 2,000, the Miao ethnic group makes up over 60% of the residents, making it known as the foremost Miao village in the Jingchu region. The area preserves relatively rich and intact Miao customs and boasts profound cultural heritage. The central part is gently sloping, surrounded by mountains on all sides, resembling a landscape of boat-shaped landforms. The Zhongjian River flows through here, adding a touch of spiritual charm. The Longtan Stream remains cool in summer and warm in winter, and the eight major scenic spots are captivating. Residential clusters, wind-and-rain bridges, Miao village gates, Miao horse-turning tower houses, Tujia stilted buildings, eighteen and a half mountain fortresses, and vast azalea-covered hills leave visitors enchanted. Watching the Niuhu Lantern show, the Grass Dragon dance, and listening to the Mayang dialect offer a unique taste of Miao ethnic culture.
