This Guide Is All You Need to Visit Zhaoxing Dong Village! Photo Spots Included 📷 Compared to other Miao villages, I prefer this forgotten treasure of an ancient village in Guizhou 🏞️ The entire ancient village is very original and simple, without serious commercialization. You can experience batik, tie-dye, and making oil tea, and eat distinctive glutinous rice-filled buns and roasted suckling pig skewers 🐷. It is very suitable for a slow-paced trip. 🥳 March–May (Dong Ethnic Group Song Festival 🎵) and September–November (terraced field harvest season 🌾) are both suitable for traveling. 📍 Zhaoxing Dong Village ❗️ About the 3-Day Tour Route Arrangement Day 1 High-speed train 🚄 → Congjiang Station → check in to Zhaoxing Dong Village (basically, it's already afternoon when you arrive) → night tour of Dong Village Day 2 Depart from Zhaoxing Dong Village in the morning → Tang'an Terraced Fields → return 🔙 to Dong Village to experience batik, making oil tea, etc. → enjoy delicious food and watch 👀 a bonfire party and performance Day 3 Take a car 🚗 to Basha Miao Village in the morning → high-speed train station 🚅 for the return trip 🔙 ❗️ About Transportation and Accommodation 🚅 Take the high-speed train to Congjiang Station 🚘 From the high-speed train station → Dong Village: Take a minibus or taxi to the village. It only takes about 10 minutes 🕰️ to get there. ✅ Zhaoxing Dong Village Street Corner Coffee Shop There are several scenic coffee shops ☕️ in Zhaoxing Dong Village. The prices are ridiculously high, CNY 40.48 a cup 🥃. Although you are paying for the view, it is a bit expensive. So, I found this one, Street Corner Coffee Shop. The window view is beautiful for taking pictures, and the price is more affordable, around CNY 30, which is acceptable. The taste is also good. ✅ Shops next to the Lihuan Drum Tower There are some shops with tie-dye elements next to the Lihuan Drum Tower. They are very beautiful and worth checking out. ✅ Tang'an Terraced Fields The terraced fields behind Zhaoxing Dong Village require a scenic shuttle bus, which costs CNY 25 for a round trip. There are very few people. Tang'an Terraced Fields and Tang'an Dong Village are together and are more worth visiting. ✅ Xage Village Walk down a short distance from Tang'an Terraced Fields. There are even fewer people in this village. The sunset view from the terraced fields is absolutely stunning. [One-Night Tour Guide] Day 1️⃣: Arrive at Zhaoxing Dong Village on the first day and stroll around the village. I recommend the roasted pork stalls in the village. They are very delicious. Day 2️⃣: Get up in the morning and eat breakfast (I recommend Zhaoxing's special beef and mutton rice noodles) → Tang'an Dong Village → Tang'an Terraced Fields → Xage Village, Xage Terraced Fields → return to Dong Village Day 3️⃣: Wake up naturally.

If you didn’t go to Tang’an Rice Terraces, this trip to Zhaoxing would probably be very disappointing 😂😂 Tang’an Rice Terraces are beautiful under the golden light of sunset, and Tang’an Dong Village is very peaceful at night and in the morning. You don’t want to rush down the mountain after watching the sunset🌄 Maybe you can stay one night in the hall and experience it slowly like us. It will definitely be an experience you won’t regret👍 🌟Guizhou Zhaoxing 4 days and 3 nights itinerary🌟: Day 1: Arrive at Congjiang High-speed Railway Station – Zhaoxing Dong Village – B&B transfer to Tang’an Dong Village Day 2: Hiking from Tang’an Dong Village to Zhaoxing Dong Village Day 3: Huanggang Dong Village Day 4: Return to Zhaoxing Dong Village We booked a B&B with a view of Tang'an Rice Terraces on the first night. There were not many accommodation options and most of them were not soundproof. But the advantage was that we didn't have to rush down the mountain after watching the sunset. We could also spend the night and the next morning in a quiet and leisurely hotel. Take a stroll in Tang'an Dong Village. Next, let's talk about the specific itinerary in Tang'an for your reference: 🌟Day 1: ✅ Arrive at Tang’an Rice Terraces Viewing B&B around 4 p.m. ✅ Take a walk around Tang'an Dong Village. In addition to the terraces that everyone goes down, we saw a staircase going up the mountain behind the Drum Tower. We were curious and went up to have a look. The scenery is also good (p3-4, p9) ✅ I walked to the middle of the terraces at sunset. I originally wanted to try the newly opened Cowshed Coffee (p12), but there were too many people and the price was a bit high, so I didn’t try it. ✅ After watching the sunset, I went back to the B&B balcony to watch the sunset, which was great ✅ Have dinner at the restaurant on the first floor of the B&B, the farm food is delicious👍🏻 🌟Day 2: ✅ Go to Shanshuijian (p13) for coffee and tea ✅ Check out for lunch ✅ Hiking down to Zhaoxing Dong Village, passing through the Xiage Rice Terraces (p14-18), it takes about 3 hours to walk and take pictures. It is not difficult but you need to know the route in advance because there are no signage on some side roads. ✅ Arrive at Zhaoxing Dong Village To be honest, I feel that Zhaoxing Dong Village is really overly commercialized now. Half of the main streets are travel photography shops or some nondescript shops🥲🥲The village is full of people traveling to take photos in every corner , the car drove into the already crowded village, and it turned into a smoky night market street at night, with singing from several bars filling the streets. If I hadn’t experienced it slowly in Tang’an this time, I would have been extremely disappointed with this trip‼ ️But I have seen the golden terraces shrouded by the setting sun, seen the crimson sunset over the endless mountains, experienced the quiet beauty that only belongs to the morning before it is occupied by tourists, and walked through an idyllic scenery between the terraces and the Dong Village. Hiking 🏞️🏞️ If you will go to Zhaoxing Dong Village and read this article, you must take some time to experience the beauty of Tang'an. #global travel #parent-child travel #parent-child good place #surrounding travel #guizhou tourism #guizhou #overseas travel #sunset #terraces

The five drum towers represent benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith. Each has its own unique style and historical story. Tang'an Rice Terraces Located not far from Zhaoxing Dong Village, Tang'an Rice Terraces are a pure land that has not been commercialized. The terraced fields are built on the mountain, like a moving picture scroll. Especially in the early morning or evening, the light is soft and the scenery is even more charming.

Fish in the paddy fields occasionally jump up, rice seedlings are growing wildly, and insects are singing loudly. What a poetic rural scenery. Unfortunately, after 7 PM, the clouds were still too thick. (Sunset time is 7:35 PM) There was no golden hour or fiery clouds, but it was still worth it and already very beautiful. We went down the mountain at 8 PM after taking photos. Tourists queuing for the bus down the mountain formed a long line. Fortunately, we came by electric car. (Because it is the peak season of summer vacation and weekends, the shuttle bus down the mountain is extended to 9 PM, so tourists who came by shuttle bus don't have to worry about not having a bus back to Zhaoxing.) The whole way down is downhill, there are no street lights on the road. We returned to Zhaoxing at 8:30 PM. We spent a total of 2 hours in Tang'an Dong Village. In contrast, Zhaoxing has become too commercialized, noisy and bustling, while Tang'an is still good. So if you come to Zhaoxing, you must visit Tang'an.

This weekend, we visited Tang'an Dong Village in Zhaoqing. This incredibly beautiful place is really worth a visit! . 📍First, let's talk about the location. Tang'an Dong Village is nestled in a quiet corner of Zhaoqing. 💕 🌈As soon as you step into Tang'an Dong Village, wow, the unique stilted houses immediately catch your eye. These stilted houses are ancient and full of rich ethnic flavor. Some are perched on hillsides, while others are right next to clear streams, as if telling ancient and touching stories. 💦We walked slowly along the stone-paved road, hearing the sound of clear streams flowing. Beside the streams, you can see aunties washing clothes and children playing happily. You can feel the slow pace of life here, which instantly relaxes you and makes you forget all your worries. ✨The terraced fields of Tang'an Dong Village look like a huge, beautiful painting from a distance. The scenery of the terraces changes completely with the seasons. In summer, the lush green rice paddies are particularly refreshing to look at.🍃 🥰In Tang'an Dong Village, you can also taste authentic Dong ethnic cuisine. Sour soup fish, glutinous rice, pickled fish, all taste incredibly delicious, and every dish is full of ethnic characteristics. 🎵At night, Tang'an Dong Village becomes exceptionally quiet. You can find a balcony in a stilted house, sit down, listen to the chirping of insects and birds, watch the twinkling lights, and feel the beauty of nature. At this moment, you will feel as if you have become one with the world.

Tang'an Dong Village, located high in the mountains, seems like a paradise far away from the hustle and bustle of the world. This traditional Dong village with a history of more than 700 years is located in It is located halfway up the mountain, surrounded by lush green mountains and overlooking the layers of terraced fields. The Dong people live here and maintain their Dong culture and lifestyle. Walking along the winding mountain road into the village, you will see winding bluestone paths leading visitors to explore every quaint corner. The Drum Tower, as the soul of the Dong village, is not only a place for villagers to gather and discuss matters, but also a model of Dong architectural art. In addition, traditional buildings and facilities such as stilt houses, ancient wells, and opera stages form a living Dong ethnic group ecological museum. Tang'an Dong Village attracts countless travelers with its unique natural scenery and rich ethnic customs. There are fewer tourists than in Zhaoxing Dong Village. Here, you can experience a life attitude of returning to nature and being at peace with the world. It seems that time has stopped here, making people linger. The Tang'an Terraced Fields are picturesque, with layer upon layer extending to the horizon. The ancient charm of the Dong village is set off against the lush greenery, and the colors change with the seasons, just like a palette on the earth. To go to Tang'an Dong Village, you can take a bus or charter a car from Zhaoxing Dong Village. The best time to visit is before sunset in the afternoon.

1 The terraces of Tang'an Dong Village. Tang'an Dong Village is not far from Zhaoxing Dong Village, just a 20-minute drive away. The car drives extremely stylishly on the winding mountain road, without reducing speed, and there are some slight drifts when turning. I feel that for racing competitions, drivers from mountainous areas should participate. They are experienced and skilled, with a bit of pride. The beauty of Tang'an Terraces is breathtaking. If you haven't been to Tang'an, you can't imagine how beautiful it is. Only when you reach Tang'an do you realize that the natural sculpting of Tang'an, between the twilight sky and earth, is stunningly beautiful. The distant mountains undulate, wrapped in clouds and mist, showing you the true meaning of 'only this green'—like ink spreading. Light and faint. From blue to green. From green to ink. From ink to color. Layer upon layer, it spreads, both heavily and lightly. The terraces of the village crisscross. Shaped by the mountains. Layer upon layer. Irregular. Different. Small and large. Deep and shallow water. With vegetables, flowers, fish, and snails. The stilted houses by the mountain exude tranquility in their scattered arrangement. The red that faintly reveals in the sky paints the stilted houses with a layer of hazy warmth. They are like hermits, steadfastly guarding that piece of 'serenity', content and at ease, with just the right amount of 'tranquility'. I think beauty cannot be painted. Every morning is different, every evening is different. Every day's sun is different, every day's moon is different. Every day's Tang'an Terraces are also different. Perhaps some people see the 'brilliance' of the rapeseed flowers covering the terraces. Perhaps some see the 'lushness' of the green rice seedlings 🌾 in the terraces. And we see the 'gap' of the terraces between green and yellow. But, regardless of the state, its beauty is still the kind that is blended with countless colors and planted in your heart, 'just right'. I think, to see 'beauty', you must see it live. It makes all my journeys at that moment extremely worthwhile and full of surprises. 2 Tang'an Dong Village. It is a Dong village that has not been fully developed. No tickets. No commerce. No noise. The Dong people there are more primitive and full of simplicity. The village is not big. The main road is not long. Besides a few restaurants and occasional photo shops on both sides, there is basically no commerce. Most of the stilted houses still maintain their original style. The construction between the buildings is full of a strong sense of community. From one house to another, you can pass through other houses directly. And never worry about losing things. This kind of primitive trust has long disappeared in our cities, where our defenses are often too rigid. In fact, there are not many young people in the village. The elderly, children, and young women are the main residents of the village. A drum tower is not big. Dong women play and sing with the unique pipa of the Dong people. The original sound, without any professional training, still blooms with the 'vastness' of the original flavor. I actually like this kind of singing, although I don't understand the Dong language, such songs have both 'bones' and 'soul'. Strolling slowly with my sister. Slowly passing through the stone-paved steps between the stilted houses. Seeing bundles of firewood cut by the Dong people piled outside their doors. Seeing older grandmothers with their heads down, hunched over, sitting on low stools embroidering sachets. Seeing small children running up and down the slopes happily. Seeing the pure smile of the girl guarding the shop door, without a trace of falsehood. Seeing a tie-dye shop halfway up the slope, with a small courtyard full of rapeseed flowers, a large natural rock in the corner of the shop, half inside and half outside, with a wall built on the rock, exuding an indescribable 'rustic', filling the whole house with poetry. Tang'an. Really good.

To avoid the crowds during the holidays, I started my plan to escape the city💨 I came to Tang'an Dong Village in Guizhou🧳 Here, I encountered the summer of my dreams. The most surprising thing is the Tang'an terraces. It is only a 20-minute drive from Zhaoxing Dong Village. The terraces rise step by step, a lush green expanse. No filter needed, it reaches a new level of beauty. The terraces in July are enough to fill my eyes with the entire summer👀 Climbing high and looking far, taking a photo with nature, It feels like the scenery is as beautiful as a painting, and I am in the painting. This spot is great for watching the sunrise🌅 and sunset🌄👍 ｜Guizhou Travel｜Off-the-beaten-path Destinations｜Guizhou Travel Guide｜Zhaoxing Dong Village｜Tang'an Dong Village｜Tang'an Terraces

If you plan to play for more than one day, it is not worth it. 🐤Because I have to buy a sightseeing bus to enter the lips the next day, if I stay there, I can take the 10r minibus directly from the high-speed rail station, and I don’t have to go back and forth to Tang’an Terraces! 🐤Take the Dong Village sightseeing bus to the end, then take a 20r minibus to the terraced fields. There are ticket sellers on the roadside in the village and at the end of the sightseeing bus. After getting off the bus, there is still one or two kilometers to the gate. You can take a 5r private car up. After entering, you can go to the second floor of the Chuyu Dessert Shop 100m away. The angle by the window is amazing. Go up and you can go to the observation deck to watch the sunset and the sunset glow. 🐤I really want to stay in the Dong Village for a few more days #Zhaoxing Dong Village #Tang'an Terraces #Guangdong Province Tours

There are also homestays and guesthouses in the village, and if you have time to stay for a few days, it would be a good choice to return to a pastoral life here. 🌄 If you only want to watch the sunset and don't have high demands for creating terraced fields, it is recommended to start after four o'clock. In this season, in these mountains, the actual time to see the sunset is around seven o'clock, and if you go too early, you will have nothing to do, truly enjoying the slow life. Also, you need to prepare a jacket, as short sleeves will be very cold.
