🌾【Terrace Drone God’s Eye View】
📍Location: Qiandongnan Jiabang Terraces (Moon Mountain area)
⏰Best time: May irrigation period / September harvest season (1 hour before and after sunrise for stunning clouds and mist!)
✈️Drone tips:
✅Fly above 800 meters altitude to capture the curves of the terraces, combined with morning fog for a fairyland effect🌥️
✅Ask local villagers for directions to “Dangniu No.3 Viewing Platform” to shoot terraces surrounding the village with great depth
⚠️Note: Mountain signal is weak, download offline maps in advance!

🏮【Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village Rooftop Spots】
1️⃣ “Guesthouse terrace below the viewing platform”
🔍Search “Xijiang Xiangsu Boutique Hotel,” the terrace corner offers layered Miao village rooftops + distant mountain backgrounds, absolutely stunning when lights turn on during the blue hour at dusk!🌄 (Pics 2-3)
2️⃣ “Alley rooftop beside Wind and Rain Bridge”
Walk 50 meters east from Wind and Rain Bridge No.4, turn left uphill to find a house decorated with batik cloth (ask the owner’s permission~), shoot from above to capture the bustling alley and rooftops intertwined, full of local life! (Pic 4)
3️⃣ “Off-the-beaten-path angle in the pastoral sightseeing area”
Take the sightseeing shuttle to the pastoral area, shoot the panoramic view of the Miao village from the opposite side, terraces + stilted buildings in one frame, great shots even in no-fly drone zones!📸
