Guizhou, Liping, Tang'an Rice Terraces.

Guizhou, Liping, Tang'an Rice Terraces.

If you visit Zhaoxing Dong Village, don't miss the Tang'an Rice Terraces on the mountain. The free and beautiful scenery will not disappoint you. There are cars in Zhaoxing Dong Village that can take you to the Tang'an Rice Terraces on the mountain. There is a schedule for the cars, and you can see the schedule and contact information on the signs on the street in the village. Just call according to your schedule. We took a car to the mountain with a cat. After getting off the car, you can walk up the mountain if you have good legs. I was lazy and had a cat, so I chose to take a van. It seems to be CNY 5 per person, and four people can share a car, so you can save your energy for walking around. The car will stop at the entrance of the Tang'an Rice Terraces. Walk a little further to the viewing platform, and further on, you will see the local people's houses. You can watch the aunties washing vegetables and chat with them. There is an auntie who can play the piano and sing for a fee, but I didn't listen because it was inconvenient to bring a cat. I ate pork skewers grilled by a mother with a baby on her back, which seemed to be CNY 10 for five skewers. I rarely eat grilled skewers, but this one was really delicious and fragrant. I ordered another five skewers after finishing the first five. Then I walked down the mountain with the cat. It was not far to the shuttle bus stop, and then I took the bus back to the village. The scenery along the way was a bit like Northern Europe, and the cat and I stopped for a long time. It is definitely worth spending an hour or two at the Tang'an Rice Terraces, and the best part is that it's free!

Guizhou Trip - Tang'an Terraces

Guizhou Trip - Tang'an Terraces

1 The terraces of Tang'an Dong Village. Tang'an Dong Village is not far from Zhaoxing Dong Village, just a 20-minute drive away. The car drives extremely stylishly on the winding mountain road, without reducing speed, and there are some slight drifts when turning. I feel that for racing competitions, drivers from mountainous areas should participate. They are experienced and skilled, with a bit of pride. The beauty of Tang'an Terraces is breathtaking. If you haven't been to Tang'an, you can't imagine how beautiful it is. Only when you reach Tang'an do you realize that the natural sculpting of Tang'an, between the twilight sky and earth, is stunningly beautiful. The distant mountains undulate, wrapped in clouds and mist, showing you the true meaning of 'only this green'—like ink spreading. Light and faint. From blue to green. From green to ink. From ink to color. Layer upon layer, it spreads, both heavily and lightly. The terraces of the village crisscross. Shaped by the mountains. Layer upon layer. Irregular. Different. Small and large. Deep and shallow water. With vegetables, flowers, fish, and snails. The stilted houses by the mountain exude tranquility in their scattered arrangement. The red that faintly reveals in the sky paints the stilted houses with a layer of hazy warmth. They are like hermits, steadfastly guarding that piece of 'serenity', content and at ease, with just the right amount of 'tranquility'. I think beauty cannot be painted. Every morning is different, every evening is different. Every day's sun is different, every day's moon is different. Every day's Tang'an Terraces are also different. Perhaps some people see the 'brilliance' of the rapeseed flowers covering the terraces. Perhaps some see the 'lushness' of the green rice seedlings 🌾 in the terraces. And we see the 'gap' of the terraces between green and yellow. But, regardless of the state, its beauty is still the kind that is blended with countless colors and planted in your heart, 'just right'. I think, to see 'beauty', you must see it live. It makes all my journeys at that moment extremely worthwhile and full of surprises. 2 Tang'an Dong Village. It is a Dong village that has not been fully developed. No tickets. No commerce. No noise. The Dong people there are more primitive and full of simplicity. The village is not big. The main road is not long. Besides a few restaurants and occasional photo shops on both sides, there is basically no commerce. Most of the stilted houses still maintain their original style. The construction between the buildings is full of a strong sense of community. From one house to another, you can pass through other houses directly. And never worry about losing things. This kind of primitive trust has long disappeared in our cities, where our defenses are often too rigid. In fact, there are not many young people in the village. The elderly, children, and young women are the main residents of the village. A drum tower is not big. Dong women play and sing with the unique pipa of the Dong people. The original sound, without any professional training, still blooms with the 'vastness' of the original flavor. I actually like this kind of singing, although I don't understand the Dong language, such songs have both 'bones' and 'soul'. Strolling slowly with my sister. Slowly passing through the stone-paved steps between the stilted houses. Seeing bundles of firewood cut by the Dong people piled outside their doors. Seeing older grandmothers with their heads down, hunched over, sitting on low stools embroidering sachets. Seeing small children running up and down the slopes happily. Seeing the pure smile of the girl guarding the shop door, without a trace of falsehood. Seeing a tie-dye shop halfway up the slope, with a small courtyard full of rapeseed flowers, a large natural rock in the corner of the shop, half inside and half outside, with a wall built on the rock, exuding an indescribable 'rustic', filling the whole house with poetry. Tang'an. Really good.

Ethnic Minority Village - Huanggang Dong Village

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.

Departing from Guangzhou | A spontaneous 2-day trip to Zhaoxing Dong Village

Departing from Guangzhou | A spontaneous 2-day trip to Zhaoxing Dong Village

| A spontaneous 2-day trip to Zhaoxing Dong Village. Departing from Guangzhou | A spontaneous 2-day trip to Zhaoxing Dong Village || Inspired by the cloud sea sunrise at Tang'an terraced fields, I impulsively started this weekend trip to Zhaoxing Dong Village. It was my first time buying a high-speed train ticket without any travel planning, and unexpectedly, it turned out to be a pleasant and happy journey. 🚄High-speed train travel After exiting the station, turn right and follow the signs to buy a minibus ticket to the Dong Village. The driver will stop along the way for us to buy tickets (Guangdong residents can get free admission with their ID card), and the minibus drop-off point in the Dong Village is also where you catch the return minibus to the high-speed train station. It takes about 10 minutes from the Dong Village to the high-speed train station, and it is recommended to allow 1 hour for the return minibus trip, as the departure times are not fixed, with buses approximately every 20 minutes. 💃Entertainment 1⃣️ Watch the sunset at Tang'an terraced fields ✨ Minibus posters to Tang'an terraced fields can be seen everywhere in the village, with a round-trip cost of 20 yuan. It's better to find a chartered car, especially during peak times when there may be long queues. ✨ After the minibus arrives, you still need to walk a bit to reach Tang'an terraced fields. A private car costs 5 yuan, but it's recommended to walk as the scenery along the way is beautiful and the distance is short. (It's suggested to take the car between 4 and 4:30 PM, so you can stroll around the village) ✨ Many people recommend watching the sunset at the first dessert shop after entering the village, as the view is indeed good, but there are too many people queuing. It is strongly recommended to go to the shop next door, which is almost empty and the view is nearly the same. The owner is very laid-back and won't say anything even if you don't buy anything, although there's not much to buy in his shop, haha. 2⃣️ Cloud sea sunrise at Tang'an terraced fields Ask the hotel owner to arrange a chartered car, 30 yuan per person. My travel luck always seems to be about queuing, and this time there was neither a cloud sea nor a sunrise, just a bit of fog. 3⃣️ Zhaoxing Dong Village ✨ The scenery at the entrance is the most beautiful, I think. The next day I spent a long time in the pavilion enjoying the beautiful view, feeling the breeze, and waiting for the minibus to the high-speed train, so happy. Across the road from the entrance is the viewing platform, where you can overlook the entire Dong Village. ✨ Besides the main commercial street, you can enter from the left side of <Zui Di Yi Lou>. It's very quiet here, with only riverside homestays and nice scenery. It's recommended to stay here for the quietness and the nice decoration of the homestays (this is my lesson). There's a batik museum at a turn. 4⃣️ Tie-dyeing Picked a random shop, the price was not very expensive. 🍜Food ✅ Bayberry soup Loved it, wanted to drink it all the time. Tried many places, only recommend two. The difference in taste is really big. One is the one that shares a stall with Yang Meimei BBQ (10 yuan a cup, their sour plum soup is also very good). The other is the one under the banner of 'Add a Pair of Chopsticks' (8 yuan). ✅ Liao Pangzi Fish King Tried crispy pork rice noodles and beef rice noodles at both places, Liao Pangzi's portion is smaller but tastes better, Fish King has better value for money, both are good. ✅ Chen Beibei Yogurt The yogurt is thick and has a different taste from regular yogurt. ✅ Pumpkin cakes Very tasty, just a bit oily. ❌ Zui Di Yi Lou The tofu is acceptable, but the glutinous rice ribs are hard to eat, and the bayberry soup is also bad. ⭕️ Indifferent: Green Headscarf Auntie's glutinous rice, Yang Meimei BBQ.
