A Winter Stroll in Guizhou 💙

Staying in Zhaoxing Dong Village in January has it's ups and downs. The village is full of beauty and culture so don't miss it when visiting Guizhou. 💙 Wrap up warm! The weather is cold and humid, don't underestimate how many layers you need, thermals reccomended. 💙 Take care of your equipment! The drizzling rain is incredibly beautiful and the streets cleared of people so I photographed everything until my camera had enough and shut down for 30 mins 🙈 💙 Look for a modern hotel!The houses here are all wooden, which means the cold permeates each room. I specifically looked for a room with air conditioning but it hardly did anything, had my heated blanket turned up high all night. #guizhou #zhaoxing #winter #travel

Guangzhou to Guizhou three-day two-night per capita 800 strategy

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!

Real reviews of Zhaoxing Dong Village! Must-see food and drink guide

Real reviews of Zhaoxing Dong Village! Must-see food and drink guide

The village is more suitable for the season when you can see the terraces. October is the most beautiful! It's also good after the New Year, the New Year atmosphere is clearly arranged. Here is the guide 1️⃣p11-12 Street-side pork skewers✅ I ate the very popular green headscarf aunt's roast pig, and looked at the roast pig skewers sold by everyone. There is not much difference. If there are many people, you don't necessarily have to buy from the green headscarf aunt. Glutinous rice wrapped roast meat is also good. 2️⃣p9-10 Drunk·First Floor✅ The dishes are good, the price is moderate, and the photos taken by the window on the third floor are beautiful. The above two positions are on the third floor. The tofu is the best! Stir-fried beef is also good, the service attitude of the shop is good. 3️⃣p78 If you are wandering on the roadside, the dyeing shop should be very photogenic. Remember to make a guide before you go. I didn't make a guide and didn't take pictures. I'm afraid that my makeup aesthetics can't keep up. The price is generally within 100 including makeup. 4️⃣Dongjia Restaurant❌ Avoid, avoid crazily. First of all, it's hard to eat, secondly, the service attitude is very bad, and finally, the price is very expensive! The 168 sour soup beef is just a plate plus a pot bottom. This is recommended by the homestay housekeeper, so we went directly. It is recommended not to go blindly after the hotel owner recommends it to you, and look at the guide on the Internet. 5️⃣Chen Beibei Yogurt/Egg Burger This yogurt is very popular on the Internet, so I tried it. It's neither good nor bad, but the coconut chips are delicious! The roadside egg burger is very average, no need to buy. Don't buy the thing of glutinous rice cake wrapped in bean powder for 10 yuan a serving! The roadside stalls don't have anything amazing, you can try it. 6️⃣Fish King Breakfast My evaluation is average I don't know where so many good reviews come from on the Internet. But it may be considered good here, I haven't eaten at other homes to compare. If you want to try the local breakfast, choose their home, you should not be wrong. 7️⃣p56 Worry-free Coffee (good for taking pictures, expensive, not enough heating) The village is very small, it takes more than an hour to stroll around, but I don't want to go back to the homestay, so I decided to find a coffee shop to rest for a while, and the photos are very good. But the quality of the coffee is average and the price is very expensive. The air conditioner is vertical and cannot cover the entire space. The colder I sit, the colder I get, so I finally went back to the homestay. 8️⃣p234, 13 The view outside the homestay window The homestay I live in is called Miwu, and the room is Xia Liu Tian. It's about 280 to 290 a day. At the wind and rain bridge at the entrance of the village, the view from the window is okay. 9️⃣p14-15 Viewing platform I originally thought that the whole village would light up, but I didn't expect that only a few drum towers would be brighter. You can go or not. It's really commercial, but fortunately, there are indigenous people living here, everyone sitting in the drum tower burning firewood and chatting, quite a bit of fireworks ⚠️For accommodation, if you like quiet, live at the head or end of the village. The middle is too noisy. The village is very small, and the distance does not affect the experience If you like business, just stroll around the main street If you like the original, just stroll around the back street
