The traditional villages and architecture of the Miao ethnic group embody the prosperity and continuity of various ethnic communities. Qiandongnan region which located in the southeast of Guizhou Province, China, these villages, rich in traditional ethnic distinctiveness, dot the landscape. Many of these villages boast a profound history and possess significant ethnic and cultural heritage value. As the country aggressively pursues urbanization in ethnic regions, against the backdrop of economic development and the steady improvement of living standards among ethnic minorities, a pressing question arises: how to harmoniously blend the preservation of these precious ethnic villages with their sustainable development? This study aims to explore the coordinated development of landscape ecology in ethnic regions, focusing on the integration of social progress with the protection of traditional villages. This paper targets the Miao traditional villages in the In Qiandongnan region, examining the transformations and underlying reasons they have undergone due to traditional urbanization and tourism development. It underscores the importance of safeguarding the original character of these villages while emphasizing the urgency of updating and renovating them to create modern ethnic villages. Using the Miao traditional Village as a case study, this paper delves into the spatial structural features of traditional Miao villages, in the protection of the ancient villages with high representativeness, strong representativeness and high historical and humanistic value, contradictions are dispersed, and the ancient villages adopt the overall protection of “museum” to channel the development demands of villagers to the new ethnic villages. This study offering design insights for the rejuvenation of new ethnic villages. The village landscape design examples presented in this paper aim to inform and inspire similar efforts in Qiandongnan region, serving as a reference for the protection of traditional villages and the concurrent development of new urban landscapes.
