There are numerous ancient villages of Miao nationality in western Hunan. Today I will lead you to a famous one-Xianglushan (Censer Mountain) Ancient Village of Miao Nationality in Fenghuang and will introduce more characterized Miao villages to you next time.

Xianglushan Ancient Village of Miao Nationality, located about 16 km away from the Ancient Phenix Twon, has been regarded as “A Holy Land for Miao Village”.Behind the village, there is a mountain where there is a huge stone rising straight from the ground, which looks just like a censer, thus is called the Censer Mountain. With ancient trees of thousand years rooted here and mist hugging around the mountain, this holy land up to now still attracts yaabas and girls of Miao Nationality to pray their everlasting youth by burning incense every 7th July.

Ancient and mysterious as the Miao village under the Censer Mountain is, people have been living a simple life without connection with outside world and just live themselves up by tillage. However, old people over one hundred years old are everywhere. A shocking statistic shows that there are 98 people over 80 years old counted from over 600 person in the whole village. More attracting mysteries may lie in the Dead-Driving, Evolution of Toxic Bug, Thanksgiving for God, Fairy Jump and so on.
