In recent years, when it comes to Dong villages, many people immediately think of Zhaoxing Dong Village in Guizhou. In fact, in this nearby area, there are many Dong villages, many of which are niche and great for photography, with almost no one around. Today, NANA is going to talk about this niche Dong village in Huaihua, Hunan—Yutou Dong Village. The Tongdao in the southern part of Huaihua, Hunan, is an autonomous county for the Dong people. There are many Dong villages in the mountains near the city, some of which are quite commercialized, while others are rarely visited by tourists. Yutou is a Dong village built along the mountain. The village is not large, ancient, and full of life. Following the mountain path all the way up, there are wind and rain bridges, drum towers, and fire pits. When you reach halfway up the mountain, you can see another village in the mountain bay. It turns out that Dong villages can be hidden so deeply and mysteriously! Another reason I like this place is that along the way, the grandmas and grandpas of the village were doing farm work while chatting with us, very warmly. 🌟Things to do ✅Experience Dong ethnic costumes ✅Wind and rain bridge outside the village ✅Take photos with the drum tower and drum tower square ✅Warm yourself by the fire pit with Dong uncles and aunts (Dong lifestyle) ✅Take photos with Dong grandmas ✅Take beautiful photos of the village and Dong girls~ Yutou Ancient Dong Village has a history of more than 600 years. The stilted buildings and village layout are well preserved, and most importantly, there are almost no tourists, making it a great place for photography and fun~ A treasure of a Dong village~ 🚘Transportation: You can rent a car from Huaihua or Guilin to Tongdao, the whole journey is on the highway, and it takes just over 2 hours to arrive. 🏨Accommodation: The Tongdao scenic area is not far from the city, and the roads are easy to drive on.

#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.

It consists of four parts: a gatehouse, dormitories, lecture halls, and corridors. They are all wooden structures and are arranged in sequence on the central axis along the longitudinal direction. A longitudinal corridor in the middle connects the four buildings into a whole. There are patios between each building. The whole building has two floors, and there are 6 dormitories symmetrically distributed on both sides.

I absolutely loved visiting this place beautiful and relaxing #mytravelhacks

Wanfoshan The main body of the park is Danxia landform. The park is divided into seven major scenic areas, namely Wanfo Mountain, Jiangjun Mountain, Qixing Mountain, Duyan, Shiziyan, Ziyun Mountain and Shenxian Cave, with more than 200 scenic spots of various sizes. Among them, Wanfo Mountain is the core attraction in the scenic area. It is a solitary peak about 600 meters high, surrounded by steep cliffs and deep valleys. There is a temple on the top of the mountain called Wanfo Temple, which is a local Buddhist holy place.

Hiking around Huaihua, Wanfo Mountain in Tongdao It takes about an hour and a half from Hongjiang. Less than one kilometer from Wanfo Mountain, you will reach a large tourist center (Wanfo Mountain is not from here. If you drive by yourself, you can keep going straight along the current road without turning left and go straight to the tourist center at the bottom of Wanfo Mountain). The charging standards for local and non-local tourists seem to be different. You can also buy tickets on Gaode. This is my second visit to Wanfo Mountain. Maybe it's because it's the National Day, so there are obviously a lot more tourists, and there are a lot more vendors at the bottom of the mountain, mostly selling small pickled peppers, corn, and skewers (last time I came, there were only a few grandmas selling jelly, wild rice and small pickled peppers). This scenic spot is not big. It is mainly located in the Danxia landform. Only one mountain top has been developed. There is no water source along the way. I didn’t feel scared walking on the cliff along the trail. I walked slowly, stopping and starting, and it took less than half an hour to reach the top of the mountain. There is a short glass plank road near the top of the mountain (it is really a short section, but now it is forbidden to pass there). The scenery on the top of the mountain... Well... It’s okay... It’s not as amazing as I imagined, but the feeling of overlooking the small mountains is still very fulfilling. The wind on the top of the mountain is really strong and comfortable~ There is also a windmill on the opposite mountain top (I like windmills very much Maybe it was a festival today, so there were performances. Everyone was wearing ethnic costumes and seemed to be performing "High Mountains and Flowing Water" (I went down the mountain before the end). There was a small shop on the way down the mountain. The trees there were hung with red ribbons with wishes written on them. I also secretly wrote one on a wish card. This is a very meaningful thing.

The Dong family pickles sour vegetables in all four seasons. The Dong people's clothing is colorful, and most of the fabrics are self-grown cotton, self-spun, self-woven, and self-dyed Dong clothes. Fine clothes and Dong satin are only used as formal wear and accessories. Ethnic embroidery is most famous for Dong cotton. Almost every Dong girl can weave cotton. Weaving Dong cotton can only thread the needle along the direction of the fabric pattern yarn, so the patterns of the patterns are mostly straight lines, forming geometric shapes. Dongxiang has always been known as the hometown of song and dance. The Dong's big song once shocked Paris, France with its unique multi-voice part harmony, and it is famous all over the world. The Dong's folk dances include Lusheng dance, Duoye dance, Spring Bull dance, Flower Pole dance, etc. Among them, the Lusheng dance and Duoye dance with prominent national characteristics and rich local colors are two wonderful flowers in the Dong art garden. ⏳Play time: Free to open, visit and play time 2 hours ~ 3 hours.

Xu Yan built a capital here, and "Huangdu Village" was a Chad. The mysterious Yelang country has no way to visit, but this place that once retained the heart of the king, with its unique temperament, attracted me to stop in a hurry, immerse myself in this place, natural breathing, this is the only thing It is my ideal relationship between people, people and nature. A "blocking wine" is the enthusiasm of the Yi people. The toast and the music of the reed sang: "The most respected guests, you are not afraid of the hard journey, come to our poor place. Although the mountain road is narrow and steep, there is always a ladder that you have settled in. The mud is dirty and green. The stone road is smooth and shining. Your arrival adds a lot of joy to the cold stockade. The golden pheasant behind the house welcomes you distinguished guests... The most primitive custom is to sing thanks to the guests, and then The patriarch raised the wine glass full of Baogu wine with both hands and handed it to an elderly guest, a bowl of bowls of land for the guests to drink this delicious shochu shochu. After all the rituals are finished, say
