Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and explore the secrets of the ancient Yao village

🚗 Departing from Guangzhou, a 3-hour self-drive will take you to this quaint Yao village hidden deep in the mountains. Here, time seems to stand still, and every brick and tile tells a thousand-year-old story. 🏚️ The ancient Yao village is not just a village, it is a witness to history and a living fossil of Yao culture. Founded during the Sui and Tang dynasties, every stone here bears the mark of time. 🌅 On the first day, we strolled on the stone-paved roads of the ancient village, feeling the warmth and simplicity of the Yao people. The thousand-year-old ebony and stone steps seem to be a bridge to the past, with every step taken on the pulse of history. In the afternoon, we danced to the beat of the Yao dancers in the Yao dance square, feeling the unique cultural charm. In the evening, we attended a long-table banquet, tasting the traditional Yao cuisine and experiencing the Yao's warm hospitality. 🔥 As night fell, the fiery atmosphere of the bonfire party was unforgettable. The Yao's knife-walking and torch performances were awe-inspiring. The invitation to the bamboo pole dance allowed us to join in the revelry, feeling the joy and freedom of the Yao people. 🌄 On the second day, we chose a homestay on the top of the mountain, just for the gentle sunrise. When the first ray of sunlight fell on the sea of clouds, the whole world was dyed gold. In the afternoon, we put on traditional Yao costumes and walked in the alleys of the ancient village, as if we had traveled back to that ancient era. The terraced fields in the sunset were staggered and beautiful, making people intoxicated. 🎉 If you happen to catch a Yao festival, such as the Ploughing Festival, Singing Festival, and Pangu King Festival, you will have the opportunity to experience the Yao style more deeply and feel the unique cultural charm. 📍 Address: Qian Nian Yao Village, Qingyuan City, Guangdong Province 🎫 Tickets: 105 yuan/person (including one daytime performance) 🅿️ Parking: Free 🏠 Accommodation: Average 50+ 💡 Tips: Please confirm the latest opening hours and activity arrangements before your trip to avoid missing any wonderful moments.
