I Investigated OUTSIDE of China's Cities...(no more lies)

from the bustling streets of the capital city, Guiyang,

to the fast-paced, cutting-edge tech hub of Guanshanhu district,

and even the legendary Maotai town where China's

most famous liquid gold, Baijiu, flows like water.

But this time, I'm taking you somewhere different.

We're heading deep into the Guizhou Countryside.

According to Western media and the China haters,

the Chinese countryside is a run-down wasteland

with crumbling houses, peasants,

and homeless people everywhere.

Yeah, not quite.

So today I'm going to show you the reality,

show you the truth.

The Chinese countryside is shockingly beautiful,

rich with history and culture,

clean and full of life.

The complete opposite of the endless tent cities

you'll see popping up across America and Europe.

We're cutting through the propaganda and taking

you deep into rural China, where we'll

visit multiple different towns and villages.

Get ready to have your stereotypes shattered.

Welcome to Xijiang Qianhu, Miao village.

And let me tell you, this place is something else!

Tucked into the mountains of Leishan County.

It's home to over 1400 Miao households,

making it the largest Miao village in the world.

And it shows every rooftop, every alley,

every balcony is dripping with tradition.

The Miao people are one of China's 56 officially recognised ethnic minorities

with a rich history and unique language.

One thing that really stands out here in Xijiang,

beyond the stunning views and traditional architecture, is how well

everything is maintained.

The streets are spotless,

the wooden homes are beautifully preserved,

and there's an obvious respect for both

the environment and the heritage that runs through this entire village.

This isn't by accident.
