This is a Miao village with 100 families. Langde Shangzhai is a paraphrase of Miao language “Nengdui” meaning “Nengdui” in the lower reaches of the Oudui River. The village is named after the river, “Ondui” means Shangzhai. Langde Shangzhai is named because it belongs to the upper part of Langde Land. The costumes of the Miao people in the village are characterized by long skirts, so they are also called “long skirt Miao”. Langde Town is endowed with unique ethnic tourism resources. There are “Hometown of Chinese Folk Song and Dance” and “Hometown of Lusheng” in the town, which are renowned both at home and abroad.

From the 12 bowls of wine from the gate of the village to the mountain and flowing water of Chinese food, the feeling of intimacy was increased. Each bowl of wine was filled with their enthusiasm and welcome. The Xanadu seen in front of us must have been the image of the heart for many times.
If Diaojiaolou is the symbol of Miao village, then the old man is the soul of the village. The most leisurely life is actually the most ordinary. Langde Miao village has picturesque scenery and simple and natural life. The old people in Miao village live very simple lives, chatting under the eaves or sitting simply in their spare time.
Every weekend is the liveliest time in the stockade. Usually there is no activity in the stockade and the whole village seldom gets together.
