The Miaos celebrate their New Year according to their their own calendar. And the Miao's New Year is the most important Miao's festival, which usually held in November and December. The exact day differs from village to village.

For celebrating the festival, Miao people worship their gods, relatives working in other places come back home for family union. Activies include: lusheng dance, folk song singing, etc.

Kindly remind you to be careful for invitations of having a drink in their homes. The home-make wine is sweet, foods are good, people are willing to share their happiness...Even the women can drink a lot, and sing beautiful songs, it makes to you difficult to say no. It is a tradition and a great honor for locals to let their guests have a sound sleep in their homes, after a big dinner. Frankly speaking, it happens every time when we visit their villages, and we have to worn you in advance: Be careful of those pretty girls in their love traditional costumes, they sing a lot, smile a lot, drink a lot, dance a lot...
