Leishan

Visiting Miao Villages in Leishan

Leishan villages are lived-in places; public lanes, homes and farmland meet at Langde Upper Village.

• Recognise the setting in which culture actually occurs — Read the bridge, timber houses and stone lanes as local architecture, while noticing thresholds and private signs.
• Participate only where the setting clearly allows it — Join a welcome or lusheng performance only as offered by the village; do not ask residents to repeat a ritual for photos.
• Separate residents’ lives, ritual and performance — Ask before photographing people, yards or children; do not cross a household threshold without invitation, and check prices with makers.
