2 hours by high-speed rail from Hunan! The Dong New Year celebrations in Zhaoxing Dong Village await you!

Ladies! A hidden gem destination just 2 hours from Hunan is here! 🔥 The Dong New Year in Zhaoxing Dong Village is from December 19th to 21st. Enjoy a three-day, two-night immersive experience of Dong culture – highly recommended! 【How beautiful is Zhaoxing?】A Dong village with over a thousand years of history, five drum towers stand proudly (representing benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness), a covered bridge spans the stream, and stilted houses are built against the mountainside. The morning mist swirls, the evening smoke curls from chimneys—every snapshot is a masterpiece of traditional Chinese ink painting! 🖼️🎉 【Activity Schedule】 21st: Welcoming guests at the village gate + Making glutinous rice cakes + First experience of the grand costume parade + Bonfire party 22nd: Sacrificial ceremony (the highlight!) + Grand costume parade + Long table banquet (a food extravaganza) 23rd: Encore of the grand costume parade + Making glutinous rice cakes + Bonfire party (the final event) 【Hunan Departure Guide】 Take the high-speed train from Huaihua (1 hour) / Changsha (2 hours) to Congjiang Station → transfer to a 20-minute bus to Zhaoxing. Even more convenient than visiting attractions within the province, why not try a cross-province micro-trip? Seamless connection between high-speed rail and bus throughout the journey, perfect for families with elderly members and children. 【Accommodation Recommendation】 Youyi Inn is a must-see! Located on the main street, in a superb location. A 3-minute walk to Drum Tower Square and a 5-minute walk to the Wind and Rain Bridge, making it incredibly convenient for all activities. Comfortable rooms and reasonable prices 😊🏞️ 【Advanced Itinerary】Huanggang Village (2025 UN "Best Village for Tourism") is definitely worth adding to your trip! A century of cultural heritage + stunning natural scenery, more off-the-beaten-path and more pristine than Zhaoxing. There's a shuttle bus from the Zhaoxing scenic area shuttle station: departing at 9 AM/2 PM, a direct 1-hour journey, returning to Huanggang at 12 PM/5 PM. A combined tour of two Dong villages, incredibly cost-effective 📈! Friends in Hunan, shall we go? 🙋‍♀️
