Zhaoxing Dong Village, a hidden ethnic treasure in the mountains

🏞️【Attraction Introduction】 Located in Liping County, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province, Zhaoxing Dong Village is one of China's largest Dong ethnic villages and has been honored as one of the most beautiful ancient towns in rural China! 🏞️ Stepping into Zhaoxing feels like traveling through time. As you enter the village gate, the staggered cluster of drum towers comes into view—five majestic structures, each narrating the stories and wisdom of the Dong people. Walking along the bluestone-paved paths, with the murmuring streams and distant Dong folk songs in your ears, your soul finds unprecedented cleansing and tranquility. 👀 Did you know? Zhaoxing Dong Village is hailed as the "First Village of Dong Homeland." Its unique architectural style, featuring stilted houses and wind-and-rain bridges, showcases the Dong people's exquisite craftsmanship and love for life. Don’t forget to look up at the intricate wood carvings and colorful paintings—they are true treasures of Dong culture! 🍽️ When it comes to food, Zhaoxing Dong Village offers a feast for your taste buds! Sticky and fragrant glutinous rice, the incredibly delicious sour fish soup, and the aromatic roasted pork—each bite is a tantalizing delight. Here, you can savor the most authentic Dong flavors and experience the pure, unadulterated joy of mountain life. 🌃 Zhaoxing at night is even more enchanting. The drum towers glow brightly, their reflections shimmering on the flowing river like a moving painting. Sit by the river in a small teahouse, sip a cup of fragrant tea, listen to a Dong folk song, and soak in the serenity and harmony. Or, join the local bonfire party, singing and dancing with the Dong people, and immerse yourself in their warmth and hospitality. 📸 For photography enthusiasts, Zhaoxing Dong Village is a dream destination. Whether it’s the morning mist, the afternoon sunlight, or the evening lights, every moment offers stunning photo opportunities. So, don’t forget your camera—capture this beauty!
