Sanjiang Chengyang Dong Village is located in Linxi Town, Sanjiang Dong Autonomous County, Liuzhou City, Guangxi Province. It still preserves the ancient traditions of the Dong ethnic group, such as the three treasures of the Dong ethnic group: drum tower, big song, and wind and rain bridge. It is the best place to appreciate the Dong ethnic customs and natural scenery. According to statistics, there are currently about 3.5 million Dong people in the country.

In Sanjiang County, which borders Hunan and Guizhou in Guangxi, there are eight Yi villages. The main development villages are: Ma Anzhai, Pingzhai, Yanzhai. I have always been fascinated by the original ethnic customs in the Chengyang Bazhai. Because of the rain, the long table banquet was held in the Drum Tower. The unknown people sitting on a table were friends. The long table banquet not only can eat the food on their table, but also can be smashed into other tables. A special experience. When I was half-eaten, the host played a mountain stream and sang a toasting song while asking the guests to drink, so it was well-deserved.

Tens of thousands of Dong people have lived here for generations, creating a rich and splendid Dong culture. It is not only home to unique Dong architecture and rich ethnic customs, but also beautiful natural scenery, and is known as the "Living Museum of Dong Culture." 📍Location: Chengyang Eight Villages, Liuzhou. ㅤ 🏞️Attractions: 5A-level scenic area, the large scenic area includes more than 8 villages, but the actual core area only has 3 villages: Pingzhai, Yanzhai, and Ma'an Village. 🕒Opening hours: Open all day, but shops start to close at 9 pm. 🎫Tickets: CNY 90, including admission and sightseeing bus. 🚗Transportation: Drive to "Chengyang Eight Villages" using navigation. From Sanjiang South Railway Station, you can carpool for CNY 30 per person, which takes about an hour. 🏠Accommodation: Highly recommend staying in Yanzhai, which is in the middle and convenient to go to Ma'an Village and Pingzhai, and the scenery is also better. ✅Things to do: Visit the villages, see the wind and rain bridge and drum tower. Enjoy a long table banquet and watch a song and dance show, climb the mountain to see the panoramic view.

There are no bars or quiet bars, I heard that the relevant departments do not allow them to be set up to maintain the original ecology. Due to the small number of tourists, shops close early, and the streets are very quiet after 10 pm. The scenery is good, the photos are beautiful, and the ancient style is suitable for people who like ethnic style and ancient villages.

The first three villages have been developed, so the tour route is basically a circle around these three villages. The sightseeing bus took me to the Dong Painting Museum, where I started my walking tour of Chengyang Eight Villages. My tour route started from the Dong Painting Museum, crossed Yongji Bridge to Helong Bridge, entered Yan Village, saw Yan Village Drum Tower and Sa Altar, crossed Linxi River to Ping Village. The highlight of Ping Village is the Single Pillar Drum Tower. After passing through Ping Village, I returned to Helong Bridge, crossed Helong Bridge, walked along the riverbank, followed the road that the Red Army took back then to Ma'an Village, saw Ma'an Drum Tower, and returned to the road I took to enter the village. Finally, I crossed Yongji Bridge again and took a sightseeing bus at the Dong Painting Museum back to the gate of the scenic area. Compared to some ethnic minority villages in Guizhou, although this is also a commercialized attraction, its degree of commercialization is not so serious, and the basic original ecological culture is still preserved, and the environment of the Dong village is also particularly good. I just took a quick tour and couldn't experience it in depth. It would be best to stay here for a day or two. While waiting for the bus at the Dong Painting Museum, I found that there is also a Yinlong Rock here, with a hiking trail that can be climbed to the top of the mountain to overlook the panoramic view of Chengyang Eight Villages surrounded by mountains. Unfortunately, I was already a little tired at the time, so I gave up. I was lucky that day, as I caught the bus back to the city just after leaving the gate. After returning to Hexi Station, I got off the bus and saw a noodle shop, ordered a bowl of Liuzhou snail noodles, and the taste was authentic. I crossed Xunjiang River via Guyi Bridge, and there was a small drum tower at the bridgehead, where many citizens sat around playing cards, which also showed me the practical significance of the drum tower.
