Largest Dong Village in China

---

Hi All,

Fairly easy to get to ZhaoXing from KaiLi. First a bus to CongYang, about 3 hours, then a bus to CongYang's high speed train station and then finally a bus on to ZhaoXing. There is an entrance fee of 80 rmb which has to be paid before the bus continues on to the village.

The village itself has really been spruced up for the tourist trade with masses of restaurants, hotels and shops selling the usual tourist niknaks. Behind the main street and down the little alleyways beats the heart of a working Dong farming village.

There are a remarkable amount of drum towers and little wind and rain bridges scattered around the village and the houses down by the river are very pretty.

In the evening we went to watch a performance of Dong song, culture and storytelling which was very good. Dong choir singing has been recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage.

Enjoy the Photos

JAH BLESS
