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 . 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.
