[2025 Liping Attraction] Travel Guide for Tang'an Terrace (Updated Jun)

I have traveled to Guizhou several times in total, and I have been here twice. I prefer the quiet rainy days here to the lively sunny days. Zhaoxing Dong Village in Guizhou, rated by National Geographic as "the most secret corner of the world", is an ancient village with few people and beautiful scenery. I think this is one of the best places integrating humanities, national culture and landscape architecture. Don’t be too comfortable visiting during the off-season in March! At this time, a large field of rapeseed flowers is in full bloom in front of the gate of the Dong village! The mist is lingering in the mountains. You can watch the changing wind and rain outside the window, drink a cup of tea, and overlook the ancient but still inhabited drum tower and wooden houses of the Dong village. Walking on the bluestone pavement, the mossy green vegetation is dyed even greener after the rain. Local residents gather in the drum tower to roast charcoal and chat about family matters. ⭐️Playable experience ❶Check in at 5 iconic drum towers (Ren/Yi/Li/Zhi/Xin Group) ❷Walk across the five wind and rain bridges and take panoramic photos of the classic waterfront of the Dong Village ❸Experience batik/tie-dye ❹ Take a panoramic view of the Dong Village from the viewing platform, and the night view is also beautiful ❺Watch the Dong ethnic group's big song performance at night ❻Take a bus to Tang'an Terraces to watch the sunrise (20 yuan/person round trip on the main street) ❼Hiking Tangan-Xia Ge-Zhaoxing Ancient Road (about 3 hours) ❽Visit the Zhaimen Market to buy souvenirs (pine nut cakes/Dong cloth sachets) ❾Watch and take photos of rapeseed flowers and take photos with the gate of the Dong Village (March) ❿Experience the traditional costumes of the Dong ethnic group and take photos with the Drum Tower Wooden House ❶❶🌟 Zhaoxing Dong Village Biyin·Sky Tower Take a bath in the bathtub or drink tea on the observation deck 🍵Drink☕️Overlooking the drum tower building and distant mountains of the Dong Village 🍜Must-eat food: Sour soup fish/crispy pork/grilled meat wrapped in glutinous rice/oil tea 🎫Tickets to scenic spots: 80 🚄Congjiang Station (15 minutes by minibus from the scenic area to the Dong Village)

Take the high-speed train to the ancient village of Spirited Away, it's like Hayao Miyazaki's comics have come to life. I love this secluded ancient village. Surrounded by mountains and forests, terraced fields, and simple folk customs. It's no wonder that National Geographic Magazine has chosen this village. The "village on the edge of time" is not an exaggeration. It feels like you've traveled to the world of Spirited Away. . Of course, we have to take photos of our fairy trip! The photo spots are ready~ Go! It's beautiful on both sunny and rainy days💛 📷Photo spots 1️⃣All 5 drum towers are beautiful! The Lituan Drum Tower and Rentuan Drum Tower are the most photogenic! There are many beautiful spots around the village. 2️⃣The water view in the village is really beautiful! The stream in front of the Renzi Drum Tower, the stream in front of the Tie-dye Workshop are all beautiful~ There are also many single-plank bridges to set off the atmosphere, and the photos are beautiful! 3️⃣Viewing platform! I recommend the one on the left hand side when you enter the scenic area! The terraced fields + the whole view of the ancient village are spectacular! 4️⃣Tang'an Terraces also have a feel.

| 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.

🌄 The triple aesthetics of original ecological life 1. Symbiosis between architecture and nature 🏡🌿 More than 300 Dong ethnic group stilt houses are built against the mountain. The wooden structures do not require a single nail or rivet, and the green tiles on the roofs and the stone pavement have acquired a warm luster over time. The five drum towers in the village are not only places for meetings, but also the embodiment of the Dong ethnic group's worldview. Wooden boards with the 24 solar terms are hung inside each drum tower, and the flying dragon carvings on the eaves hint at the agricultural civilization's belief in time. In the morning mist, the outline of the Drum Tower blends with the green mountains in the distance. In the evening, smoke rises from the rows of wooden buildings, forming a flowing ink painting. 🎨 2. Everyday life filled with singing 🎶👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 This is the "hometown of male Dong ethnic group songs". From children learning to speak to the elderly, singing is their second language. The impromptu singing by the bonfire in the drum tower, the impromptu humming while working in the rice fields, and even the ritual songs in weddings and funerals all make the ancient Dong motto of "food nourishes the body, songs nourish the heart" vivid and tangible. If you are lucky enough to encounter the "Heaven Shouting Festival" on the 15th day of the sixth lunar month, you can witness the shocking scene of thousands of people chanting sacrificial words and praying for rain with songs - it is said that after the ceremony, the weather will reverse ⛈️🌈, mystery and piety are intertwined. 3. The farming wisdom of rice-fish-duck symbiosis 🐟🦆🌾 The "rice-fish-duck complex system" listed as a global agricultural cultural heritage has continued here for thousands of years: fish swim in the rice fields to loosen the soil and increase oxygen, and ducks eat pests to provide fertilizer, forming a self-sufficient small universe. Visitors can go barefoot into the fields to catch rice fish, watch villagers pick rice with traditional wooden farm tools, and experience the ancient wisdom of coexisting with nature. --- 🛤️ Traveler's humanistic observation notes - Another scale of time ⏳📚 In the morning, I followed the Dong grandmother to steam glutinous rice in bamboo tubes 🍚, in the afternoon I watched the old man smoking water pipe beside the fire pit in the drum tower 💨, and in the evening I met the woman beating Dong cloth and dipping the cloth into the isatis root dye vat - the rhythm of life here is defined by sunrise and sunset 🌅 and agricultural solar terms rather than electronic screens 📱. The village primary school is the most conspicuous building in the village, where the sound of reading and Dong songs are intertwined, and tradition and modernity are delicately balanced. - The unsymbolized reality👵🧵 There is no commercial long table banquet performance, only grandma selling hand-woven Dong cloth under the eaves; the homestay was converted from a barn🏚️→🏡, and when you open the wooden window, you can see the layers of rice drying and red peppers drying🌶️. It is recommended to stay in the "Hecang Meisu" run by locals, fall asleep to the sound of the stream at night💤, and be awakened by the aroma of glutinous rice in the morning☀️. - Hidden gameplay around you 🗺️✨ From Huanggang, you can walk 5 kilometers to Xiaohuang Dong Village (currently under renovation 👷), or drive 15 minutes to Zhanli Village to explore the "changing flowers and plants" fertility legend 🌿👶; if you have enough time, the four-season light and shadow of Tang'an Terraced Fields 🌾📸 and the sickle shaving ceremony of Basha Miao Village ✂️💇♂️ can be connected into a deep cultural route. --- 📍 Travel Tips - Transportation 🚗: It takes 3.5 hours to drive directly from Guiyang via Xiarong Expressway; there is no parking lot in the village, and vehicles need to be parked in the open space at the entrance of the village🅿️. - Experience 🎭: Participate in the folk custom of "carrying an official" (the seventh day of the first lunar month 🎆), and learn Dong cloth batik (reservation with the homestay in advance 📅). - Taste 🍲: You must try Liping Xianghe glutinous rice with pickled fish 🐟, the salty and fragrant collision of rice flower and pork liver in Dongjia oil tea is unforgettable!

This Guide Is All You Need to Visit Zhaoxing Dong Village! Photo Spots Included 📷 Compared to other Miao villages, I prefer this forgotten treasure of an ancient village in Guizhou 🏞️ The entire ancient village is very original and simple, without serious commercialization. You can experience batik, tie-dye, and making oil tea, and eat distinctive glutinous rice-filled buns and roasted suckling pig skewers 🐷. It is very suitable for a slow-paced trip. 🥳 March–May (Dong Ethnic Group Song Festival 🎵) and September–November (terraced field harvest season 🌾) are both suitable for traveling. 📍 Zhaoxing Dong Village ❗️ About the 3-Day Tour Route Arrangement Day 1 High-speed train 🚄 → Congjiang Station → check in to Zhaoxing Dong Village (basically, it's already afternoon when you arrive) → night tour of Dong Village Day 2 Depart from Zhaoxing Dong Village in the morning → Tang'an Terraced Fields → return 🔙 to Dong Village to experience batik, making oil tea, etc. → enjoy delicious food and watch 👀 a bonfire party and performance Day 3 Take a car 🚗 to Basha Miao Village in the morning → high-speed train station 🚅 for the return trip 🔙 ❗️ About Transportation and Accommodation 🚅 Take the high-speed train to Congjiang Station 🚘 From the high-speed train station → Dong Village: Take a minibus or taxi to the village. It only takes about 10 minutes 🕰️ to get there. ✅ Zhaoxing Dong Village Street Corner Coffee Shop There are several scenic coffee shops ☕️ in Zhaoxing Dong Village. The prices are ridiculously high, CNY 40.48 a cup 🥃. Although you are paying for the view, it is a bit expensive. So, I found this one, Street Corner Coffee Shop. The window view is beautiful for taking pictures, and the price is more affordable, around CNY 30, which is acceptable. The taste is also good. ✅ Shops next to the Lihuan Drum Tower There are some shops with tie-dye elements next to the Lihuan Drum Tower. They are very beautiful and worth checking out. ✅ Tang'an Terraced Fields The terraced fields behind Zhaoxing Dong Village require a scenic shuttle bus, which costs CNY 25 for a round trip. There are very few people. Tang'an Terraced Fields and Tang'an Dong Village are together and are more worth visiting. ✅ Xage Village Walk down a short distance from Tang'an Terraced Fields. There are even fewer people in this village. The sunset view from the terraced fields is absolutely stunning. [One-Night Tour Guide] Day 1️⃣: Arrive at Zhaoxing Dong Village on the first day and stroll around the village. I recommend the roasted pork stalls in the village. They are very delicious. Day 2️⃣: Get up in the morning and eat breakfast (I recommend Zhaoxing's special beef and mutton rice noodles) → Tang'an Dong Village → Tang'an Terraced Fields → Xage Village, Xage Terraced Fields → return to Dong Village Day 3️⃣: Wake up naturally. You can experience taking Dong ethnic group photos, check out the Zhaoxing Dong Village terraced fields, coffee shops, and the drum towers in the village, and then return home.

It is recommended to live in a quiet place in the village. It is not recommended to live in the main street because it is too noisy. In addition, if you are alone, especially if you are a girl, it is recommended to book a more expensive homestay (there are only homestays in the village) to ensure safety and quality. 📝Note tips: Pay attention to sun protection, and be prepared to repel mosquitoes if you are afraid of mosquito bites. Floral water and the like are very necessary! !

If you didn’t go to Tang’an Rice Terraces, this trip to Zhaoxing would probably be very disappointing 😂😂 Tang’an Rice Terraces are beautiful under the golden light of sunset, and Tang’an Dong Village is very peaceful at night and in the morning. You don’t want to rush down the mountain after watching the sunset🌄 Maybe you can stay one night in the hall and experience it slowly like us. It will definitely be an experience you won’t regret👍 🌟Guizhou Zhaoxing 4 days and 3 nights itinerary🌟: Day 1: Arrive at Congjiang High-speed Railway Station – Zhaoxing Dong Village – B&B transfer to Tang’an Dong Village Day 2: Hiking from Tang’an Dong Village to Zhaoxing Dong Village Day 3: Huanggang Dong Village Day 4: Return to Zhaoxing Dong Village We booked a B&B with a view of Tang'an Rice Terraces on the first night. There were not many accommodation options and most of them were not soundproof. But the advantage was that we didn't have to rush down the mountain after watching the sunset. We could also spend the night and the next morning in a quiet and leisurely hotel. Take a stroll in Tang'an Dong Village. Next, let's talk about the specific itinerary in Tang'an for your reference: 🌟Day 1: ✅ Arrive at Tang’an Rice Terraces Viewing B&B around 4 p.m. ✅ Take a walk around Tang'an Dong Village. In addition to the terraces that everyone goes down, we saw a staircase going up the mountain behind the Drum Tower. We were curious and went up to have a look. The scenery is also good (p3-4, p9) ✅ I walked to the middle of the terraces at sunset. I originally wanted to try the newly opened Cowshed Coffee (p12), but there were too many people and the price was a bit high, so I didn’t try it. ✅ After watching the sunset, I went back to the B&B balcony to watch the sunset, which was great ✅ Have dinner at the restaurant on the first floor of the B&B, the farm food is delicious👍🏻 🌟Day 2: ✅ Go to Shanshuijian (p13) for coffee and tea ✅ Check out for lunch ✅ Hiking down to Zhaoxing Dong Village, passing through the Xiage Rice Terraces (p14-18), it takes about 3 hours to walk and take pictures. It is not difficult but you need to know the route in advance because there are no signage on some side roads. ✅ Arrive at Zhaoxing Dong Village To be honest, I feel that Zhaoxing Dong Village is really overly commercialized now. Half of the main streets are travel photography shops or some nondescript shops🥲🥲The village is full of people traveling to take photos in every corner , the car drove into the already crowded village, and it turned into a smoky night market street at night, with singing from several bars filling the streets. If I hadn’t experienced it slowly in Tang’an this time, I would have been extremely disappointed with this trip‼ ️But I have seen the golden terraces shrouded by the setting sun, seen the crimson sunset over the endless mountains, experienced the quiet beauty that only belongs to the morning before it is occupied by tourists, and walked through an idyllic scenery between the terraces and the Dong Village. Hiking 🏞️🏞️ If you will go to Zhaoxing Dong Village and read this article, you must take some time to experience the beauty of Tang'an. #global travel #parent-child travel #parent-child good place #surrounding travel #guizhou tourism #guizhou #overseas travel #sunset #terraces

When you arrive at Zhaoxing Dong Village, how can you miss the beautiful sunset at Tang'an Rice Terraces? 🌇 The golden light spreads over the mountains and fields, and the terraces are layered, warm, and romantic. The breeze passes through the mountains and fields, stirring the clouds in the sky. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, everyone is immersed in the sunset glow of the terraces in the mountains. Watching the sun slowly set, relax, and daze, you should feel at ease at this moment. Then walk down the mountain in the afterglow of the sunset, with the sound of insects and birds, and the rustling of leaves in your ears. The satisfaction and comfort accumulated by the sunset just now have reached their peak at this moment. Nature has infinite healing power. 🚘 Several ways to get to Tang'an Rice Terraces: 1️⃣ Take the round-trip minibus arranged by the village scenic area, the ticket price is CNY 20 for a round trip, but if you go a little later, there will be a lot of people in line, so if you want to take the minibus, you need to go early to line up. Generally, the place where you get off is still a distance from the gate of Tang'an Dong Village, about 1.5 kilometers. It is not far. You can choose to walk up by yourself or take a carpool for CNY 5. Choose according to your physical strength. 2️⃣ Charter a car (carpool). You can ask the owner of the homestay if there is a driver who can charter a car to send you there, CNY 30 per person for a round trip. If you charter a car, it is CNY 120–150. If there are many people, you can consider chartering a car. If there are few people, you can consider carpooling with others. At that time, we went to take the minibus a little late, and there were a lot of people in line. We might miss the sunset when it was our turn. When we were about to give up, a girl in the line asked if we wanted to carpool. We happened to carpool a car, and then we started chasing the sunset. Fortunately, we caught up with the beautiful sunset. ❤️ 3️⃣ Mountain bike 🚜! When we got on the carpool, we saw someone renting a mountain bike and riding up by themselves, which was very cool! After we came back, we asked about it. The cost of a mountain bike 💰: CNY 199 per person, CNY 298 for 2 people, with a team leader. However, the road is a relatively steep mountain road, and there are minibuses going up and down the mountain, which is still a bit dangerous and tests your driving skills. Consider your situation.

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.

| Meet a windy place and enjoy two days and two nights at 1,000 per person. Transportation: Take the high-speed train from Guangzhou South Station to Congjiang Station. After exiting Congjiang Station, you only need to walk 100 meters to take the bus, which costs 10 yuan per person. The bus will stop at the entrance of the Dong Village Scenic Area on the way. After purchasing tickets here (Guangdong people can exchange free tickets with their ID cards), you can continue to get on the bus and head to the entrance of the village. The entrance to the village is 500 meters away from the village. You can choose to walk there, or you can take a sightseeing bus at the entrance of the Dong Village Scenic Area to enter the village. It costs 10 yuan per person. B&B: We chose Zuo'an B&B (the owner will pick us up at the entrance to the village). It is located on the main street. There is a dessert shop on the first floor of the B&B and a small river next to it. 218 yuan per night, more than 100 yuan per person, very cost-effective. The room is in a great location with a beautiful view outside. We arrived on Friday night and went to the tie-dye shop next to the B&B to experience tie-dyeing. I chose the tie-dye and skirt package for RMB 158 (Figures 15-18 are great locations for tie-dye photos). The boss is very nice, he teaches in person and is very patient. Then I wandered around the village. Day 1✅： In the morning, visit the village. There is a wooden bridge at the entrance of Jiajie Tie-Dye, which is great for taking photos. There is also a "windy place", but you need to tie-dye in their store to go to the second floor to take pictures, so we just took some casual photos at the door. Depart for Tangan Rice Terraces at 15:00 in the afternoon. It takes about 10 minutes to walk from the village to the bus pick-up point, and then take the bus for about 15 minutes to arrive. The [First Encounter Dessert Shop] is very popular for check-in. The first floor is very photogenic and the windows on the second floor are also great. Then we visited the village in Tang'an. The small houses there were very beautiful and looked like a little Switzerland in the photos. There is a milk tea shop where you can DIY milk tea frames. You can take a stroll in the rice fields in the afternoon. If you don’t know how to get there, you can ask the villagers. The villagers here are very enthusiastic and will show you the way. There will be sunset around 7:00, which is super beautiful. The latest return bus leaves at 7:40 and costs 10 yuan (there were a lot of people when I went there on July 6, so the latest bus was delayed to 8:10). Day 2✅： In the morning, I went to the viewing platform. It took about 15 minutes to walk there from the village. The scenery above is super good. There are rice fields at the entrance of the village. Many young ladies take photos there and the scenery is beautiful. At around 15:00 in the afternoon we packed our bags and headed back to Shenzhen.

Tang'an Rice Terraces, a hidden gem nestled in the mountains, resemble nature's rice circles, with layers of terraces forming a beautiful painting. Walking among the terraces, the fresh air and spectacular scenery are truly refreshing. Especially during sunrise and sunset, the golden sunlight on the terraces creates a breathtaking view. These fields are not only the home of rice but also a paradise for photography enthusiasts. Whether you're taking photos or just strolling, you can feel the charm and flavor of nature. Visit Tang'an Rice Terraces to experience the 'Rice Circles in the Clouds' and find your inspiration!

💖Praised by National Geographic as the "Village on the Edge of Time"—Zhaoxing Dong Village The architecture here is very distinctive, with stilted wooden houses arranged in an orderly manner👀divided into five groups: Ren, Yi, Li, Zhi, and Xin, each with a corresponding drum tower. Compared to the Thousand-Household Miao Village, there are more indigenous residents here, and it is less commercialized😜You can see elderly people chatting under the towers, smoking dry tobacco, and doing handicrafts. 🎯Location: Southeastern part of Liping County, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province 🚄Transportation Guide: Take the high-speed train to Congjiang Station, then take a taxi for about 10 minutes 🌟Attractions Introduction: 1. Wind and Rain Bridge: Provides shelter from wind and rain, a place to cool off, where elderly people do needlework, and people wash clothes by the river. 2. Dong Drum Dance: Known as the land of song and dance, with exciting activities during festivals. 3. Tang'an Terraces: Take a minibus to get there, with lush green mountains and vibrant rice fields, shrouded in mist during rainy weather like a fairyland. 4. Tie-dye and Batik: Experience ethnic characteristics, hands-on activities are very fulfilling, and Guangdong residents get free admission! 🚅High-speed train: There are shuttle buses to the entrance of the Dong Village from the bus station next to Congjiang Station, with tickets costing 10 yuan. 🚗Self-driving: Park your car at the parking lot of the Dong Village ticket office and take the scenic shuttle bus into the village. 🍱Food: Donglang Restaurant offers delicious and affordable dishes, and Chen Beibei Yogurt and Not-So-Correct Coffee each have their own unique features. 💣Warnings: 1. The dispatch of cars to Tang'an Terraces is poorly managed, and you may wait for a long time. You can take a private car from villagers down the mountain for 15 yuan after bargaining. 2. Some drivers drive dangerously. In summary, despite the poor transportation experience, Zhaoxing Dong Village is worth a visit to experience the ancient village and local customs and scenery🎊

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.

To avoid the crowds during the holidays, I started my plan to escape the city💨 I came to Tang'an Dong Village in Guizhou🧳 Here, I encountered the summer of my dreams. The most surprising thing is the Tang'an terraces. It is only a 20-minute drive from Zhaoxing Dong Village. The terraces rise step by step, a lush green expanse. No filter needed, it reaches a new level of beauty. The terraces in July are enough to fill my eyes with the entire summer👀 Climbing high and looking far, taking a photo with nature, It feels like the scenery is as beautiful as a painting, and I am in the painting. This spot is great for watching the sunrise🌅 and sunset🌄👍 ｜Guizhou Travel｜Off-the-beaten-path Destinations｜Guizhou Travel Guide｜Zhaoxing Dong Village｜Tang'an Dong Village｜Tang'an Terraces

If you live outside, you need to go to the Dong Village ticket office first, and then buy a sightseeing bus to the entrance of the Dong Village, which is 20r round trip and about 3 kilometers. If you plan to play for more than one day, it is not worth it. 🐤Because I have to buy a sightseeing bus to enter the lips the next day, if I stay there, I can take the 10r minibus directly from the high-speed rail station, and I don’t have to go back and forth to Tang’an Terraces! 🐤Take the Dong Village sightseeing bus to the end, then take a 20r minibus to the terraced fields. There are ticket sellers on the roadside in the village and at the end of the sightseeing bus. After getting off the bus, there is still one or two kilometers to the gate. You can take a 5r private car up. After entering, you can go to the second floor of the Chuyu Dessert Shop 100m away. The angle by the window is amazing.
