Dear James ,
Thanks for contacting Top China Travel!
There are a few actual miniskirt Miao village in Kaili. The most famous two are Datang Short Skirt Miao Village(大塘苗寨 in Chinese) and Qingman Short Skirt Miao Village(青曼苗寨 in Chinese).
Datang Short Skirt Miao Village is located about 15 kilometers from Leishan County Town. Female in Datang Short Skirt Miao Village wear short skirt all year around even in the freezing winter. Young girls and women in this village all wear extremely short skirt with a length of 10 centimeter regardless of the change in four seasons. Recommended visiting time: The third month of Chinese lunar calendar, around April so visitors can enjoy or participate in the local dances which are held in the village square.
Qingman Short-skirt Miao Village is located in Mandong Village, Zhouxi Town, Kaili, Qiandongnan, Guizhou Province, China. It is sited on a mountainous slope approximately 23 km to the southwest of Kaili City, Guizhou Province. Miao people's costumes here might be the highlight of the village tour. It is one of the most typical short-skirt Miao villages in Guizhou Province. The femal villagers' clothing is distinct and colorful for both casual and holiday wear,but hand-knitted skirt no more than 20 centimeters long is the common of their costumes.
There is roads linking between Leishan and Xijiang. You may travel to Leishan from Kaily first, then transfer to Xijiang. I do not think you can cover both (Xijiang Miao Villages and one of Short Skirt Miao Villages) in one day ( ten hours ). It is recommended to spend two days visit cover two places, or you have to give up one of them. Kaili-Xijiang: 2.5 to 3 hours by car; Kaili-Leishan: about 2 hours by car; Kaili-Qingmao Miao Village: about 30 minutes. But considering the tour time in each village, ten hours is not impossible cover Xijiang and one of Short Skirt Miao Villages.
