Check in at Yutou Ancient Dong Village in spring

#春好去地方2024 The ancient Dong village of Yutou is located in Yutou Village, 9 kilometers southwest of Tongdao County, Hunan Province. It was first built during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than 600 years. It has formed 7 settlements that are arranged on both sides with the Yutou River as the axis. The dwellings in Yutou Ancient Dong Village are mainly "pole-rail" stilt houses, which are arranged along the mountains and valleys according to the terrain, forming a unique "ridge-type" and "valley-type" layout pattern, and cleverly integrated with the external environment to form the special style of the Dong village. A large number of buildings before the mid-Qing Dynasty have been preserved. This is a pure Dong village, a well-preserved ancient residential building complex in my country, which can be called a "physical museum" of Dong dwellings. It is known as the "Potala Palace of the Dong people in the mountains". The scenery is very good and it is worth your visit. Detailed address: Yutou Village, Tongdao Dong Autonomous County, Huaihua City, Hunan Province
