How about Miao Villages in the ancient town? Is there anything I should pay special attention to?

There are many Miao cottages in Fenghuang, but the quality varies, so it is recommended to visit one or two formal Miao cottages listed by the Tourism Bureau of Fenghuang County. For example: Dehang Miao Village, Laodong Miao Village, etc.

Taboos for tourists in Miao Villages in  Fenghuang: Don't enter someone's home with an open umbrella; don't step on the threshold of someone's home; when visiting someone's home, men and women should not stay in the same room; don't step on their tripod when visiting a Miao home and don't sit on the main seat of the main hall (in the direction of the shrine); don't try to get close to married women in the Miao village; don't whistle (call ghosts) in the Miao and Tujia cottages.
