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!

Tang'an Dong Village, Cloud Terrace Fields

Tang'an Dong Village, Cloud Terrace Fields

Fish in the paddy fields occasionally jump up, rice seedlings are growing wildly, and insects are singing loudly. What a poetic rural scenery. Unfortunately, after 7 PM, the clouds were still too thick. (Sunset time is 7:35 PM) There was no golden hour or fiery clouds, but it was still worth it and already very beautiful. We went down the mountain at 8 PM after taking photos. Tourists queuing for the bus down the mountain formed a long line. Fortunately, we came by electric car. (Because it is the peak season of summer vacation and weekends, the shuttle bus down the mountain is extended to 9 PM, so tourists who came by shuttle bus don't have to worry about not having a bus back to Zhaoxing.) The whole way down is downhill, there are no street lights on the road. We returned to Zhaoxing at 8:30 PM. We spent a total of 2 hours in Tang'an Dong Village. In contrast, Zhaoxing has become too commercialized, noisy and bustling, while Tang'an is still good. So if you come to Zhaoxing, you must visit Tang'an.

Zhaoxing Miao Village

Located south-east of Guiyang, Guizhou province - Zhaoxing is a small village nestled in the hills surrounded by rice terraces. Characteristic of the Miao ethnic minority, small wooden buildings and narrow alleyways dominate this small village, with the occasional spire marking areas where locals get together to play games like mahjong or cards in the evening. While the town has been refurbished for tourism, the town is a great place to walk around and explore while the surrounding hills offer an aerial vantage point from which to enjoy the unique architecture. Head to viewpoint in front of the city gate for the best view of the area. #scenicspotphotoguide#café#historicculture#beautifulsunsets#culturalattractions

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.

Full of Dong ethnic style

I have been wanting to visit Zhaoxing Dong Village for a long time, and this summer I finally came. As soon as I got off the bus and walked into the village, a refreshing breeze greeted me. The drum tower, a characteristic feature of the Dong village, appeared before my eyes. Many young ladies were dressed in traditional Dong clothing and adorned with Dong headpieces, bustling through the streets and alleys. A row of snack stalls along the street emitted enticing aromas... This is exactly the Dong village I imagined, eye-opening and worth a visit.

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.
