Guangzhou to Guizhou three-day two-night per capita 800 strategy
Here is the strategy I have sorted out! Guizhou is really the first choice for Guangzhou's surrounding tours, because it has beautiful scenery and low prices, very suitable for weekend relaxation! My boyfriend and I went together, and the cost of two people did not exceed 1,500 yuan.
We suggest taking the train from Guangzhou South to Congjiang Station (passing through Guilin, Guangxi on the way, the scenery is super beautiful!) The round-trip ticket price is 388 yuan. We recommend staying in the village inside Zhaoxing Dong Village, so it is very convenient to travel. I live two kilometers outside the village, and every time I travel, I am picked up and dropped off by the boss of a guesthouse called Yihao Guesthouse, which is very convenient. The boss is very friendly! I stayed there for two days and had a great experience!
As for tickets, student tickets are 40 yuan. We went to two attractions, one is Tang'an Terraced Fields (next to the terraced fields is a Tang'an Dong Village), and the other is Zhaoxing Tong Village. Tang'an Terraced Fields is located on the mountain, and Zhaoxing Dong Village is located at the foot of the mountain.
We arrived at Tang'an Terraced Fields at noon, so we wanted to go to the mountain to enjoy the scenery in the afternoon. The boss of the guesthouse told us that we were very lucky because the weather was particularly good that day and we could see the sunset (it was cloudy and rainy the previous few days). To go to the terraced fields, you need to take a car. There are some people selling tickets on the roadside in Zhaoxing Dong Village. We directly bought a round-trip ticket for 20 yuan. It takes about 15 minutes to go up the mountain. The mountain road is very winding! Always going around. If you get carsick, it's best to prepare a bag. If you don't get carsick, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery outside the window, which is really super beautiful!
After reaching the top of the mountain, the driver will drop us off at the entrance of Tang'an Dong Village, and the entrance is Tang'an Terraced Fields. At that time, we chose to visit Tang'an Dong Village first, and then return to the entrance to watch the sunset when the sun went down, and then return to the guesthouse. Tang'an Dong Village is very comfortable, and the whole village gives people a leisurely feeling, which is very suitable for relaxing. The local architecture is very distinctive, and it looks more charming under the afternoon sun.
Compared with Tang'an Dong Village, Zhaoxing Dong Village is more lively, full of human fireworks. Walking into the alley is a residential area, with a small stream in the middle, where you can see children catching fish in the river and women washing clothes. The size of the village is moderate, and it takes about two or three hours to visit. Entering from the entrance of the village, you will see a street for renting ethnic costumes, with many shops. I rented a set of costumes, the price is 30 yuan for two hours. Many households in the village will hang dyed long cloth and tie-dyed clothes on the upper floor of their homes. Some shops can experience tie-dyeing, but because the process is more complicated and time-consuming, we did not go.
The most representative local delicacy is crispy fragrant pig. Crispy fragrant pig powder can be seen everywhere, and the price is also very affordable, only a dozen yuan a bowl. (I ate for two days haha) In addition, grilled pork skewers are also a good choice, 6 skewers can be bought for 10 yuan, very delicious!

It's a high cost-effective homestay in Zhaoxing Dong Village
📍Location: Zhaoxing Dong Village, located in the southeast of Liping County, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province, is the largest Dong village in Qiandongnan. It was selected by National Geographic as one of the '33 most tempting tourist destinations in the world'.
🚗Transportation: Departing from Guangzhou, the high-speed train from Jiang Station takes 4 hours to reach. After getting off the train, exit the station, walk to the right, take a minibus (10 yuan/person), and you can reach the village in about 10 minutes.
🎫Ticket: 80 yuan/person/3-day pass for the village (free for residents of Guangzhou/Foshan/Shenzhen)
🏠Homestay: The village is not big, basically you can finish visiting in 1 hour. The main street is about 1 kilometer long. It is recommended to choose a homestay at the entrance of the village to avoid dragging luggage (some cross streets are quite rugged stone roads). In terms of cost performance, we chose to stay at the Dust Wind Inn.
🌟Homestay location: It is on the slope at the entrance of the village. When coming from the high-speed rail station, tell the driver to stop near the Dust Wind Inn.
🌟Homestay rooms: Chinese-style design, the balcony facing the village can directly overlook the terraces and the village, the viewing lake and the waterwheel are just below (the homestay offers a variety of room types, choose a lake view room to see the village). When we came, it was not the peak season. After nightfall, the constant stream of pedestrians during the day decreased a lot, so it did not affect sleep at all. It takes about 2 minutes to walk from the homestay to the main street. You can communicate with the shop owner in advance about the arrival time. If you take a bus from the high-speed rail station, you basically don't need to carry your luggage after getting off the bus, which is very convenient for travel.
🌟Near the homestay: The travel photography and breakfast shop are quite convenient, just nearby. It is recommended to try the local mutton rice noodles, which taste great.

Tang'an Dong Village Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Tang'an Dong Village | Get the closest terraced field sunset to Zhaoxing Dong Village
🌄 Departing from Zhaoxing, you can choose to take a hiking trail (about two to three hours), or take a shuttle bus (but you have to queue), if there are many people like us, you can ask the innkeeper to charter a car (same price and more flexible time), it takes about ten to twenty minutes to get there.
🌄 Tang'an Dong Village is not very big, built against the mountain with an open view, truly not overdeveloped, and slightly different from the style of Zhaoxing. There are also homestays and guesthouses in the village, and if you have time to stay for a few days, it would be a good choice to return to a pastoral life here.
🌄 If you only want to watch the sunset and don't have high demands for creating terraced fields, it is recommended to start after four o'clock. In this season, in these mountains, the actual time to see the sunset is around seven o'clock, and if you go too early, you will have nothing to do, truly enjoying the slow life. Also, you need to prepare a jacket, as short sleeves will be very cold.

The first village of Dongxiang, rated as a place on the edge of time, the viewing platform is like stepping into a haven from a martial arts world. It is well preserved and primitive. Locals live and market here, full of life. The Dong Village is divided into five major clans with five drum towers: benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith, and has been recorded in the Guinness Book of Records. Walking around different drum towers feels special. We mainly stayed around the Li and Ren drum towers. On weekends, you can hike to Tang'an, a village that combines Dong Village and terraced fields, a 7km most beautiful rural Dong Village hiking route, a free cultural attraction that rivals the Yuanyang Terraced Fields.

Guizhou｜The quaint Zhaoxing Dong Village and Tang'an Dong Village
At the end of December, Guizhou is not crowded, not cold, and very suitable for travel. Zhaoxing Dong Village is a place recommended by National Geographic and Lonely Planet in China, and it is the largest natural village of the Dong nationality. There is a bustling main street inside, and both sides are residential areas. The people in the village are all surnamed Lu, centered on the drum tower and divided into five major families: benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith. It is said that the higher the drum tower, the more people there are. This group of drum towers has been included in the Guinness World Records. There is a brief welcome performance at the entrance of the village at 10 am and 4 pm every day. There are rice fields outside, and it looks beautiful from the viewing platform.
The village is not big, strolling around, from watching the locals make fire and cook in the morning, to watching them talk around the fire at night, passing the drum tower, stage, flower bridge, stilted building, watching the waterwheel irrigate the rice fields, the simple life is relaxing and calm. The food here is also surprisingly delicious. In addition to sour soup fish, there are also stir-fried bamboo shoots with firewood bacon, cold beef, beef soup, braised small potatoes, glutinous rice balls with meat, etc. are all delicious, super rice.
Take a minibus from Zhaoxing Dong Village and drive up the mountain for 20 minutes to Tang'an Dong Village. It is a very small village, but it is a well-preserved Dong ethnic ecological museum. Norwegian ecologist John Jestron fell in love with this place after visiting many villages and promoted the cooperation between China and Norway to build the only Dong ethnic ecological museum in the country. Old stone steps, ancient tombs, ancient ladle wells, open terraces, and many original ecological materials and intangible traditional cultures have been preserved, and the entire village is ancient and peaceful.

A secluded ancient village found in Guizhou, lost in the sea of clouds above the terraced fields!
Location: Tang'an Dong Village is located in Zhaoxing Township, Liping County, Guizhou Province. Due to its low profile, it still retains the original appearance of the Dong Village, a 'unadorned' Dong Village still in the boudoir. Compared with the famous Zhaoxing Dong Village, Tang'an is particularly quiet, but there are still many tourists coming to check in. One is that it is very close to Zhaoxing, and the other is that it is a traditional Dong Village, a Dong ethnic ecological museum.
👉Features: The Dong Village is located on the hillside. You can find drum towers, theater towers, stilted buildings, stone roads, ancient tombs, ancient ladle wells, water mills, stone mortars, spinning wheels, etc., quietly leaning in every corner of the Dong Village, embodying the profound Dong culture. Tang'an Dong Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and one side is the open terraced fields with a wide view.
📌Tang'an Dong Village is not far from Zhaoxing Dong Village. Tourists who go to Zhaoxing Dong Village will generally come to Tang'an Dong Village to stroll around, watch the secluded village in the sea of clouds and terraced fields, watch the sunrise and sunset, and feel the slow pace here.
·
🚌Transportation: The bus departing from Zhaoxing Dong Village costs 20 yuan for a round trip, about 9 kilometers by road, and about 20 minutes one way.
🚶Hiking: The path is a mountain stone path, about 5 kilometers, about 2 hours one way on foot, and the hiking route cannot be navigated.
🎫Ticket: Free, Zhaoxing Dong Village requires a ticket, while Tang'an Dong Village does not charge a ticket.

Huanggang Dong Village Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Guizhou | Zhaoxing Dong Village is such a beautiful niche place
Zhaoxing Dong Village is called "a village on the edge of time" by National Geographic. Surrounded by green mountains, a small river runs through the village, and the most authentic portrayal here is the green mountains, clear waters, terraced fields, and homes.
-
📍Location: Zhaoxing Dong Village
🚗Self-driving: About 5 hours from Guiyang Airport
🚅High-speed train: 1.5 hours from Guiyang to Congjiang, then a 10-minute taxi ride to the Dong Village.
-
The village is not big, and one day is enough to tour around. Here I have also organized several spots for you to capture beautiful night scenes. Starting from the viewing platform, you can quickly reach each point by following the route.
-
📸Photo spots:
Picture 1-4: Viewing platform spot, where I recommend using a 70-200 lens to zoom in on the main body of the village.
Picture 5: Roadside spot near the village gate, take a photo on the way back to the village, with the lit-up village gate as the background.
Picture 6: Take a photo from the bridge towards the Yituan Drum Tower, and you can include yourself in the shot.
Picture 7: A popular photo spot, taken from the bridge towards the Lituan Drum Tower.
Picture 8: Standing under the flower bridge on the small stairs, you can capture the reflection of the Rentuan Drum Tower and people.
Picture 9: You can take a photo of a person with the Lituan Drum Tower at the entrance of Tianzhiyi Homestay.
-
🏠Accommodation: We stayed at Yiduoyun Homestay, which has a view of the terraced fields and is conveniently located at the back of the scenic area, with the owner available for pick-up at any time.
·
🥢Food recommendation: Liao's Crispy Skin Fragrant Pig Rice Noodles, and the rather unusual dish "Niu Bie", which I still remember whenever I see cow dung on the roadside.
·
🚩Experience projects: There are many wax and tie-dye experiences in the village, and the finished products can be obtained in a few hours. The specific price varies from shop to shop, and wax dyeing is a Dong ethnic specialty.
ELIZABETH WARNER
Ethnic Minority Village - Huanggang Dong Village
The specialty of Dong Village, the paddy field fish, is unique.
During the spring rice planting season, fish are released into the fields.
The fish eat the pests in the rice, and are also fattened up, truly admirable for the wisdom of the working people.
However, these paddy field fish can only be eaten during the autumn harvest season.
There are also local restaurants in the village for dining at ordinary times.
Sour soup beef, free-range chicken hotpot, stir-fried dishes, barbecue, and noodles are all readily available.
🏠 For accommodation, there are not many inns, but there are homestays and hotels.
I stayed at the same place in 2019 and this time, because there was no other choice. When there are many tourists, even finding a place to stay can be a problem.
This is also a downside of being unspoiled, as commercial facilities are not well-developed.
There is no need for any admission ticket here.
Parking is also completely free.
There is an observation deck on the mountain where you can see the whole view of Dong Village. It's not high, but the scenery is very nice and definitely worth a climb. Go up from the first drum tower next to the road on the east side, and along the way, you will see many small holes blocked by wooden boards in the ground. Those are used by villagers to store sweet potatoes.

A paradise hidden in the mountains
18 pictures tell you how beautiful this primitive village in Guizhou is. Some people say that Huanggang Dong Village is a sample of paradise on earth, which is true.
One day in July, I accidentally entered this 800-year-old ancient village.
It's like breaking into a paradise, which healed my recent anxiety.
·
There is no excessive commercialization, no crowded crowds, everything retains its original appearance.
Driving along the mountain road, winding around, when I arrived at the entrance of the village, I couldn't help but exclaim~
·
Wooden houses are built against the mountain.
The 5 drum towers in the village are particularly eye-catching.
The lotus flowers in the pond at the entrance of the village are blooming.
Local children are playing here.
Small vendors are selling rice cakes on bicycles.
The elderly are napping under the drum tower.
The sun sets, and the busy farmers gradually return.
Everyone gathers together, chatting about family affairs.
It makes me feel like I'm back to my childhood.
·
The village is not big, it can be visited in 2h, if you have time, I recommend you to stay for one night.
Watch a sunset in the Dong Village, feel the worldly fireworks here.
Watch a sunrise, feel the beauty of getting up at sunrise.
·
Tips：
1⃣️The nearest high-speed rail station is 👉Congjiang Station.

3⃣️There are two or three guesthouses in the village, the conditions are general, but they are clean.
4⃣️There are not many restaurants in the village, but there are snack shops and some farmhouses.

The wonders of Qiandongnan in Guizhou in my eyes
📍 Qiandongnan
The wonders of Qiandongnan in Guizhou in my eyes include such a scene:
A mountain range can string together many distinctive minority villages, some of which can be different ethnic groups in the mountain valleys. These gathering places are large or small in scale, some villages with only a few dozen households will hide in the valley or ridge of the mountain in a very quiet way, although quiet but still not lacking their own songs, costumes and ways of working, while some large-scale villages will make people who come here, in the moment of turning a bend, feel the momentum coming.
Liping Huanggang Dong Village is located in a valley between the mountains, a large Dong gathering place, the full view of the Dong Village and the interspersed fields and lotus ponds make people who walk into it feel shocked.
