2025 Zhaoxingdongzhai Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

I have traveled to Guizhou several times in total, and I have been here twice. I prefer the quiet rainy days here to the lively sunny days. Zhaoxing Dong Village in Guizhou, rated by National Geographic as "the most secret corner of the world", is an ancient village with few people and beautiful scenery. I think this is one of the best places integrating humanities, national culture and landscape architecture. Don’t be too comfortable visiting during the off-season in March! At this time, a large field of rapeseed flowers is in full bloom in front of the gate of the Dong village! The mist is lingering in the mountains. You can watch the changing wind and rain outside the window, drink a cup of tea, and overlook the ancient but still inhabited drum tower and wooden houses of the Dong village. Walking on the bluestone pavement, the mossy green vegetation is dyed even greener after the rain. Local residents gather in the drum tower to roast charcoal and chat about family matters. ⭐️Playable experience ❶Check in at 5 iconic drum towers (Ren/Yi/Li/Zhi/Xin Group) ❷Walk across the five wind and rain bridges and take panoramic photos of the classic waterfront of the Dong Village ❸Experience batik/tie-dye ❹ Take a panoramic view of the Dong Village from the viewing platform, and the night view is also beautiful ❺Watch the Dong ethnic group's big song performance at night ❻Take a bus to Tang'an Terraces to watch the sunrise (20 yuan/person round trip on the main street) ❼Hiking Tangan-Xia Ge-Zhaoxing Ancient Road (about 3 hours) ❽Visit the Zhaimen Market to buy souvenirs (pine nut cakes/Dong cloth sachets) ❾Watch and take photos of rapeseed flowers and take photos with the gate of the Dong Village (March) ❿Experience the traditional costumes of the Dong ethnic group and take photos with the Drum Tower Wooden House ❶❶🌟 Zhaoxing Dong Village Biyin·Sky Tower Take a bath in the bathtub or drink tea on the observation deck 🍵Drink☕️Overlooking the drum tower building and distant mountains of the Dong Village 🍜Must-eat food: Sour soup fish/crispy pork/grilled meat wrapped in glutinous rice/oil tea 🎫Tickets to scenic spots: 80 🚄Congjiang Station (15 minutes by minibus from the scenic area to the Dong Village)

When the Dong Grand Song starts, goosebumps cover the skin Tears easily fall in the face of beauty and vitality. Hidden in the dense mountains and forests of Guizhou is a treasure known as the 'Millennium Dong Village' - Zhaoxing Dong Village. 🏞️ The Dong people in the village showcase their culture through traditional costumes, unique architectural styles, exquisite handicrafts, and delicious Dong cuisine. The Dong Grand Song is the most impactful cultural symbol among these, serving not only as a carrier of cultural heritage but also as a means of spiritual communication and resonance. The Dong Grand Song originated during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, with a history of over 2,500 years. In 1986, it amazed audiences at the Autumn Arts Festival in Paris, France, and was described as 'music sparkling like a clear spring, a melody skimming the edge of ancient dreams.' In 2009, the Dong Grand Song was inscribed on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. For generations, the Dong people have lived together in clans, using songs to narrate stories, history, educate, make friends, express emotions, and nurture the soul. For the Dong people, the drum tower is the symbol of the Dong village, and the Dong Grand Song is the spiritual pillar of this ethnic group. There are two ways to experience the Dong Grand Song: one organized by the government and the other spontaneously organized by the villagers. It is recommended to choose the latter, as the villagers perform with genuine effort and boundless passion. ✨ You will feel that this is not just a performance, but more of a cultural feast. 🔥 We sit around the bonfire in the hearth, singing, dueting, playing the bull-leg fiddle, and the Dong pipa, creating a lively and warm atmosphere, disconnected from the hustle and bustle of the outside world. The human touch of everyday life soothes the ordinary heart. Zhaoxing Dong Village is a place that leaves an indelible mark of this soothing human touch on your heart, earning it the title of 'the last home for the weary human soul.' 📍 Address: Liping County, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province 🎶 Dong Grand Song: They also sing in their daily lives, mostly in casual attire. Performances in full costume require a fee.

It is described by National Geographic as a "village on the edge of time." It seems that time has forgotten its arrival, and it is this not-so-easy neglect that has led to its original intention. Zhaoxing Dong Village is surrounded by mountains on all sides and embraced in the mountain basin. The endless green of the earth beneath your feet is a long-lost oasis of life. Walking into the village deep in the green mountains, the wildness of the mountains and the hustle and bustle of the world create a variety of styles in the village. ✨Tour of Dong Village✨ ①Drum Tower Zhaoxing Dong Village is divided into five major clans, which the locals call "tuan". There are five groups in the village: benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and trustworthiness. There are five drum towers, each with different style and appearance. ② Wind and Rain Bridge Also known as the Flower Bridge, it is used to shelter from wind and rain. Villagers can also enjoy the cool in summer.

During every festival, the Dong people gather in the drum tower and singing platform to hold ethnic activities such as "stepping on the singing hall" and "carrying the official". ④Dangan Terraced Fields There is a shuttle bus that goes directly to the terraced fields.

#chinatrip The summer in the deep southeast of Guizhou made me find the beauty that I haven't seen for a long time. I heard the distant singing of the Dong people downstairs. Be a local villager and walk around every corner. I went to a windy place. Here, I met the "Zhaoxing • Xishe" homestay. Outside the window, there are Dongzhai and healing green rice fields. The rice fields are not only the scenery, but also the food given to the guests during the rice harvest is like returning to childhood in the summer. I heard the sound of frogs and cicadas. At night, you can still see the rising round moon glowing.

The village was discovered by chance. It is rare to have both commercialization and fireworks. The village is not big. It can be visited in more than an hour. If you don't want to walk, there are free shuttle buses on the main street. There is a small river in the village, and the stream is gurgling. Some small shops by the river are also interesting. Here is suitable for strolling slowly, emptying yourself, or sitting down and doing some small handicrafts quietly, it will not be boring. We found a milk tea shop where we can DIY cup sets for free. It's simple and has a sense of accomplishment after completion. Things are not as expensive as they are said on the Internet. We have 4 adults and 1 child and each meal does not exceed 200 yuan, but the taste is really average. We also checked in the popular Fish King Breakfast Shop, and the Donglang Restaurant is not very good. The only thing that feels good is the wild bayberry juice, which is good for relieving the heat. We chose a guest house outside the village for accommodation. The village is relatively expensive. Fortunately, the boss is very good and responsible for picking us up to the village and the high-speed rail station for free.

The delicacies of Zhaoxing Dong Village. ​ 1 Auntie Green Scarf barbecues. In a small corner of the main street, there was a dark-skinned auntie wearing a green headscarf. He speaks Chinese not very fluently and is not good at chatting. But the smile is very healing, with the simplicity of the Dong people. That kind of simplicity will make you inexplicably moved. The Dongjia fragrant pork barbecue costs 10 yuan for 6 skewers, but we ordered the 30 yuan one. I also ordered a 10 yuan serving of glutinous rice wrapped in barbecue. The pork is black pork raised by the Dong people here. The meat skewers were grilled to a crisp with a little bit of pork skin, and the barbecue sauce sprinkled on them was not complicated. It looked spectacular in the paper bag, but when I put it in my mouth, I was shocked, it was so delicious that I wanted to cry - the chili sprinkled on it was not spicy and was fragrant, and there was no condiment to steal the taste when I put it in my mouth, only the fragrance of pork and a slight fragrance of chili. The taste buds were filled with the original and natural flavor of the ingredients themselves, not gorgeous, but delicious. A skewer of grilled meat. A glass of rice wine. Bathed in moonlight. The evening breeze is blowing. Under a sky full of stars. Such delicious meat. Life is enough. Glutinous rice wrapped in barbecue. I think the green-head scarf aunt is too real. The steamed glutinous rice, with its fragrant aroma, is spread out on the chopping board while still hot. Some homemade vegetables and meat mixed ingredients are placed on it. Then the roasted fragrant pork is cut into small pieces and placed on the ingredients. The glutinous rice is wrapped and rolled into a ball - it is really a big ball. Ask Auntie to cut it in half. The aroma of vegetables, meat and glutinous rice instantly captured our appetite as soon as we took a bite. My sister and I finished eating the glutinous rice wrapped with meat and we were full. This ten dollar meal is really spectacular. The point is, we really didn’t expect it to be so cheap, yet so delicious that it makes us question life. Sure enough, the experts are among the people. 2 The Dongjia restaurant opposite the green headscarf aunt. The environment is very good. Random entry. I ordered their signature dish - wild mushroom and chicken hotpot. A plate of Houttuynia cordata. A bottle of their own rice wine. The chickens in his family are free-range chickens raised by the local Dong people in the mountains. Ingredients are the soul of fireworks. If what you cook can retain the original flavor of the ingredients, does not change the mainstream direction of a dish, but can add icing on the cake, then you are a true cooking master. The moment I ate the free-range chicken, my eyes narrowed involuntarily. It’s really nice. The local chicken stewed in clear soup has no extra taste, and the mushrooms are mixed in the soup, making the light chicken soup extremely fresh. The pot contains small mountain ginger that they grow themselves, as well as floating chives. Not too oily, but just the right amount of delicious flavor. The meat is tender and soft, different from the chicken you usually eat in the city. They are all rookies. Those raised in the mountains are wild and strong. Those raised in the plains are lazy. Therefore, the difference in meat quality is also very large. The local water and soil nurture the local people, and the local people eat the local water and soil. Different diets, different cultures, and different flavors all exist in the world in their own unique ways. And will fall in love. Houttuynia cordata is the soul of the Miao and Dong peoples. I like people very much. Discard the people you don't like. I can't resist the taste. I'm the type that thieves like. Wash and cut the watercress, add chives, ginger, garlic, pickled chili peppers, salt, vinegar, soy sauce and a little sugar. Mix and serve cold, not too tasty. After one plate, I still want more. The Zheergen from Guizhou is so authentic. I drank a bottle of rice wine with my sister. Celebrating our wonderful weekend. The rice wine is sweet, just like our immense happiness at this moment. 3 Farmer's house. Recommended by the photographer. ​The proprietress is very lively, has high emotional intelligence and an excellent memory. The sour soup fish in her house is the soul. The real sour soup fish is not the sourness of vinegar or sauerkraut. The sour soup fish in her family is made by mixing the sourness of fermented rice washing water, tomato sauce, and pickled chili peppers together to stew rice field fish. When all ingredients are handmade. I grow my own vegetables. The fish are raised in our own rice fields. The sauce is made by myself. There won't be any landmines. It will even surprise your taste buds. A pot of fish in sour soup. A plate of stir-fried Chinese cabbage. A bucket of white rice. My sister and I couldn't help but eat several more bowls of rice. It was really appetizing and went well with rice. The fish is tender and the sour soup is just the right amount of sour. It is soaked in rice and you can have bowl after bowl of it. We ate too much. 4 ​While strolling. I saw a tea shop - a cup of tea created for Zhaoxing - Longxun Dong Village, Qingmo Fushan. ​I went there for the fame. I thought, since this tea drink has such a meaningful name, I might as well try it. When we reached the entrance, we realized that this was another surprising encounter. It is light, with a strong flavor. The tea aroma carries just a hint of milk flavor, and the neutralized taste has a wonderful sense of fusion, which makes you feel light yet memorable. It is comparable to Xuzhou’s Yunlong tea. Sitting on the promenade by the river. Listen to the laughter of the stream. Looking at the people coming and going in groups of two or three. A cup of green foam Fushan. There is an indescribable comfort, so comfortable that it feels like a dream. 5 Chen Beibei's handmade yogurt. The price is very reasonable. 9.9 per cup. We want honey yogurt. The yogurt is thick. Not sweet. Not greasy. Honey neutralizes the slight sourness of yogurt and makes it delicious. There are a lot of messages posted on the wall. On a whim, my sister and I each wrote one. Measure the world, come to Zhaoxing. I am here. hapiness.

This is the 'village on the edge of time' This is 'one of the 33 most attractive tourist destinations in the world' This is 'China's historical and cultural village' This is 'the hometown of Drum Tower culture and art' ... Coming to Zhaoxing Dong Village, I have a direct feeling of what cultural heritage is. It's so suitable for one person to walk slowly, look at the paintings on the flower bridge, look at the exquisite drum tower architecture

Zhaoxing Dong Village is located in Liping County, Guizhou Province. It is the largest Dong ethnic village in China and has been named one of the six most beautiful rural towns in China. We drove from Shibing in the morning and checked into the reserved Xiangxiang Guesthouse in Zhaoxing Town at noon. In the afternoon around 3 o'clock, we took a private car arranged by the innkeeper to the observation deck outside Zhaoxing Dong Village, and after overlooking the panoramic view of the village, we walked into the village for sightseeing. On both sides of Zhai Li Street are mostly shops, selling and renting Dong village clothing in addition to local specialties. My little granddaughter also rented a dress, and she looks very beautiful. The most famous landscape in the village is the drum tower group. The village is divided into five groups (five clans) of Ren, Yi, Li, Zhi, and Xin, each with a drum tower. The appearance, height, size, and style of each drum tower are different and spectacular. The first drum tower seen is the Xin group's, right next to the main street, with a better and brighter location than the other drum towers. Then, in order, are the drum towers of Zhi, Yi, Ren, and Li groups. The flower bridge and stilted buildings in the Dong village are other highlights. As night falls, we went to the street to admire the night view of the Dong village, and the drum tower looks even more beautiful at this time. Looking back at the entrance of the scenic area, the Dong village under the lights was stunning. Afterwards, we took a car back to the inn, ending our trip to the Dong village. For lunch that day, we had grilled pork slices at a restaurant we passed by on the Jiangxi Expressway, which was better than the whole roasted pig we had in Bama, Guangxi years ago. For dinner, we tasted the classic sour fish soup in a Dong village, which is a famous dish in Guizhou cuisine and a specialty of the Miao and Dong ethnic groups.
