Huanggang Dong Village | The tranquility in a lesser-known Dong village
📍Attraction Address:
Departing from Zhaoxing Dong Village, after driving a short distance on the Xiaramen Expressway, turn into the mountain path towards Huanggang Dong Village, covering a total of 42km, taking about 1 hour. The last ten or so kilometers of mountain road leading to Huanggang are quite winding, and on the day we went, we also saw some minor landslides on the road.
🚗Transportation to Attraction:
There is no admission fee for Huanggang Dong Village; you can drive directly into it. When we arrived, we parked on the roadside right at the entrance of the village, but actually, you can drive further into the village center near the village committee, where you will see a clear open area with parking spaces available on the roadside.
👍️Must-Visit Spots:
If you dislike the hustle and bustle and commercialization of Zhaoxing Dong Village, then Huanggang Dong Village is the complete opposite. Five drum towers are lined up along the main road of the village, and there are only 2-3 small homestays opened in the village, with almost no commercialization. Even during the May Day holiday, there were only a few groups of tourists in the village. From the research, some say that Huanggang Dong Village is one of the most intact Dong villages in terms of settlement architecture and cultural ecology preservation in the entire Qiandongnan region.
The village is almost entirely composed of traditional wooden stilted buildings. Many water barns and grain stilted buildings are built directly over ponds, with ducks and fish raised underneath.
The elderly and children in the village mostly wear daily clothes that retain Dong ethnic characteristics, and the village's small tailor shop also sells Dong-patterned fabrics, which are very beautiful.
🎟️Ticket Information: No admission fee

【Eat】Huanggang Farmhouse Restaurant
Unassuming but super super delicious!
Although it's just a simple farmhouse, the home-cooked stir-fries are surprisingly tasty.
Stir-fried vegetables with smoked meat, the best smoked meat quality throughout the journey, cut into fine strips and stir-fried together, bursting with the aroma and freshness of smoked meat! Simple stir-fried chives with eggs, local eggs fried to perfection, local chives sweet and fresh, a perfect match. The rice is fragrant and sticky.
Simple yet homely, ordinary but delicious! So good that you'll want to return again and again, and at just 60 yuan, it was my favorite meal of the entire trip.
People are very friendly, they are happy to say hello to you. There is no commercialization of tourism, and it is especially suitable for those who like sports.

About thirty minutes after the mountain road, mixed with soil, herbs and old wood breath into the brain, as if slowly telling: Huanggang Dongzhai, arrived. You will see the old farmer with whips to drive the big and small goats, the village women are taking bamboo rafts to guide a group of ducks, the cattle farmers light their smoke, silently watching the buffalo king take a bath. You can also go barefoot to the cool stream to catch fish, hungry to knock on a warm and hospitable villager, enjoy the original dining; or lean on the small bamboo stool, the evening breeze blows, the stars come into view; If you don't yearn for the ancient building, the folk songs of Dongzhai, glutinous rice wine and salted duck eggs, you can also drive to the top of the mountain in the morning, watch the big day rise, break the dawn. Maybe the outdoor peach garden in the peach blossom garden is like this?
Huanggang Dongzhai scenery is super beautiful, the scenery is pleasant, the architectural style is unique and charming, feel the local customs and folk customs, fun, refreshing and refreshing.
Huanggang, Dongzhai, is really touched, like the bird is longer than the wing, the eyes are bright, the long-lost southeast style of Qiang is displayed, the numb nerves awaken, I took a long time in Huanggang Dongzhai, after leaving, I am intoxicated every day, immersed in the ancient atmosphere for a few days, forget to eat and sleep, want to stop! What is the humanistic landscape, the humanistic landscape is the scene record of human civilization. It is primitive, original, original, original. In a word, it is simple and real. What are the most of the attractions I see when I walk around? It is developed, replicated, artificial, half true or all fake! Some have built several buildings on the site that have been there, some have built a certain ethnic house on the side of the mountain, and some have imitated a large area of landscape in the city, bringing people of all colors in various costumes, and decorating the characteristics of the ethnicity, attracting tourists from all directions. To do tourism projects have nothing to say, but do humanistic landscape is very different, these imitation of the things, and real, history completely two concepts! At best, it is a shell, a decoration, simply said to be a fake humanistic landscape. This time is very different from the scenes taken in the past, which is why someone went to collect old photos of Southeast Fujian. Why do people say there is no beauty here, only poverty and backwardness, everywhere is "rag", not knowing that those are really valuable things.
Huanggang Dongzhai is about 7km away from Xiaohuang, but it belongs to the deep. It is quiet, simple, natural, and not commercialized.
Huanggang Dongzhai was founded in the Song Dynasty and has a history of more than 800 years.
