攔門酒

到了西江千戶苗寨當然要試試 攔門酒，大概十幾度的樣子，入口很香，一般都可以喝個1-2杯，和苗家阿哥阿妹一起聊聊，也是有趣的

苗族同胞們有着獨特的歡迎遠方客人的方式。如果事先他們知道了客人從遠方而來，在很早的時候就會盛裝站在寨門口迎接遠方客人。而客人到來后要過的第一關就是苗族攔門酒。攔門酒是苗族自己釀造的米酒，度數不高但後勁很大，用牛角盛滿，客人走上前來就要一氣喝完，而在喝的時候不允許客人有任何的推辭表現。客人喝酒時不要用手扶着牛角，那樣苗族同胞會認為你還想喝於是就會再給你灌上第二杯攔門酒。許多號稱海量的朋友就是因為不明其中原因而還未進苗族寨門就被灌倒而一覺睡過時間錯過苗寨做客的好機會，攔門酒之名因此而來。不過，對於酒量實在不高的人只要說明原因一般他們會酌情處理的。

每一個國家，每一個城市，每一個地方都有它獨特的文化。我們中國的56個民族，每個民族都有他自己的生活方式和文化背景。來到西江千戶苗寨，特定的日子就會有當地姑娘們在門口迎接遠方而來的客人，熱情好客地請你品嘗她們當地的美酒。導遊一再說不能喝酒的就不要去接杯。這確實有點兒意思。

From the ticket office, you can see a group of Miao people singing and dancing. There are various kinds of wine on the middle table of the square. I wanted to have a taste, but I had to drive, or I would have been drunk if I hadn't drunk the eighteen cups. Every table has a name for the wine. I have a special look at the sixth course of the beautiful wine. The girl is really beautiful. It was more than three o'clock in the afternoon when we came out, and the bar wine was over, but the Miao people were still singing and dancing. They were really enthusiastic.

保存苗族“原始生態”文化完整的地方，宛若一座大型的苗族文化露天博物館，是了解苗族文化、體驗苗族人家生活的最佳去處，更是一處觀賞風景的好地方，那依山而建的吊腳樓、大片的梯田、田園及山野，不都是美景嘛。
