The most mysterious place in Guizhou, 700 years of "zero population growth"

This is a beautiful Dong village with a strong ethnic style. Outside the village, there are green mountains, and inside the village, there are babbling streams and scattered stilted buildings. This place is quite primitive. After a tour, it seems that only one or two small shops can be seen. The smell of life is strong, with smoke rising from the kitchens, which is very atmospheric. There is also a mysterious "flower exchange" legend here. The people of Zhanli village follow the course of nature for the birth of their first child, and only when they have their second child will they choose whether to have a boy or a girl based on the gender of the first child. If the first child is a boy, then the "flower exchange" will make her second child a girl; if it is a girl, then the second one will definitely be a boy. It is said that only the pharmacist is qualified to know the true face of the "flower exchange", and the pharmacist is not allowed to reveal the secret recipe of the "flower exchange" to outsiders, otherwise the medicine will not work, and this medicine can only be taken by the villagers. 🚗 Zhanli Village, Congjiang County, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province (no admission fee) 🅿️ Free Transportation: Self-driving Road conditions: There are basically no cars on the road, the mountain road is quite narrow, not suitable for beginners.
