Detailed itinerary for three days and two nights Day 1: First Exploration of Dong Village Morning/Noon: Arrive at Congjiang Station by high-speed train from various places, transfer to the minibus, pick up or buy tickets at the tourist service center, and the shuttle bus will take you to the village entrance. Booking a homestay inside the village usually includes pick-up and drop-off service. Afternoon: Check in and rest briefly. You can first have a cup of tea on the homestay rooftop to get a preliminary feel of the village atmosphere. Evening: Stroll along Zhaoxing main street. Walk from one end of the village to the other to familiarize yourself with the environment. Zhaoxing Dong Village is divided into five groups: "Ren, Yi, Li, Zhi, Xin," each with a drum tower and a wind-and-rain bridge. Find angles to photograph the spectacular drum towers and wind-and-rain bridges. Night: (Optional) Watch the "Most Beautiful Zhaoxing" Dong folk song performance (ticket required) to experience the charm of Dong intangible cultural heritage. Day 2: Terrace Hiking Morning: Hike the Tang'an Terraces. After breakfast, take the shuttle bus from the village pick-up point to Tang'an Dong Village. First arrive at the scenic area parking lot, then transfer to the mountain shuttle bus (round trip 20 RMB). There is still 2 kilometers halfway up the mountain requiring a transfer to the scenic shuttle (one way 3 RMB). Tang'an is a more original village than Zhaoxing, located halfway up the mountain, an excellent spot to view the terraces. Noon: After hiking, return to Zhaoxing or have a simple lunch at a farmhouse restaurant in Tang'an Dong Village (with excellent views). Afternoon: Rest at the homestay to relieve hiking fatigue. Alternatively, experience Dong batik and make a unique souvenir by hand. Evening: Go to Tang'an to watch the sunset (if you didn’t go in the morning or want to see it again). This is the highlight of the entire trip! Calculate the time in advance to take the last shuttle bus up the mountain (confirm the last bus time before departure), and wait for the sunset at the Tang'an terrace viewing platform. The golden sunlight shining on the layered terraces is magnificent. Night: After descending, find a small bar or café to sit and reflect on the day's experiences, or continue exploring the Dong village night market snacks. Day 3: Farewell to Dong Village Morning: You can take some more daytime cultural photos or buy some souvenirs. Noon: Have a farewell lunch and taste your favorite Dong cuisine once more. Afternoon: Pack your luggage, take the shuttle bus to the village entrance, then transfer to the minibus to Congjiang High-speed Rail Station, ending a pleasant journey.
