The United Nations once said about 'returning to nature and returning to simplicity' travel destinations: two in Asia:

One is Tibet, and the other is Qianzhong

As for Hengxing, which is known for its 'town of drums'

It has long been the paradise sought after by many

Here, there is the Guinness record-breaking Dongzhai and drum tower group

The Dong ethnic people have the most relaxed time…

It was also rated as one of China's six most beautiful rural towns by 'China National Geography Magazine'

When the plague is gone and spring comes, it is most suitable for returning to simplicity

This time, let's go to Guizhou Hengxing~

Living in 'the houses in the deep clouds'

Feel the pure and natural life in the countryside~

In Hengxing, do ten things of small happiness

Walk along the winding pebble-paved drum tower street

Look at the majestic drum towers

Listen to the ancient ballads

In Hengxing, do ten things of small happiness

Feel a return to simple natural life

1

See the beautiful night view of Dongzhai

At night, the ancient drum towers will light up

At that time, this land is shrouded in colorful light and shadow

Some families lit small lanterns

Some families danced and sang at the bonfire party

The river reflects the lifelike Dongzhai

It has a quaint and ancient style~

2

Digging for treasures at An Tieyuan

In the spring, the water-filled terraces are like mirrors

Under the sunlight, it is a vast expanse of white

In summer, the slopes are lush and green

In autumn, it is full of golden yellow

In winter, it has a cold and thin mountain water landscape

No matter when, it is intoxicating

Peak after peak, crisscrossed terraces, layered terraces

The houses in the middle of the mountains are built on the mountainside and cling to the mountains

Like a world in the paradise of the world

It makes people unwilling to peek at it~

3

Check in at five drum towers

'Unending Dongzhai Hengxing' talks about ancient times

In Dongzhai, not checking in at local buildings would not be considered a visit?

Hengxing Dongzhai is divided into five ethnic groups

The locals call them 'groups' and are divided into the Ren group, the Yi group, the Li group, the Zhi group, and the Xin group

And these five groups jointly built five drum towers

The five drum towers have different appearances in terms of height, size, and style, which is a great spectacle

They were also listed in the Guinness World Record!

Hiking through Hengxing Dongzhai

In Hengxing Dongzhai, it is most suitable to return to nature and water

You can find a sunny day

When the clouds are light and the wind is gentle, spring comes

Take a hike to explore every corner of Dongzhai

Look at the hanging houses built on the mountainside

Look at the majestic pagoda-like treasure towers

Taste this land surrounded by mountains and rivers

Feel the romance in the deep clouds~

5

Taste the authentic Hengxing Sour Fish, Lamb and Beef Noodles

In Hengxing, the locals really like to eat noodles

Lamb noodles, beef noodles, crispy straw soft noodles all kinds of noodles…

They are much more authentic than outside noodles!

Just walk into a shop to try it, no matter the portion or flavor is a great product!

A sour and refreshing soup, sour and refreshing fish

Yes, this is a local signature dish—Sour Fish

The fish meat is mainly selected from local cultivated rice carp or catfish

The sour soup is made by naturally fermenting rice broth~

Pursuing the sour taste, it eliminates the fishy smell, and the fish meat is tender and juicy

6

A visit to Guizhou's ancient dyeing techniques

China's traditional and unique dyeing craft

In the past, blue and white dyed cloths permeated countless lives

Now, people abandon the traditional indigo dye

Mechanical production has replaced manual dyeing, and fewer and fewer people master this craft

And in the ancient houses of the Dong ethnic group, people still preserve this dyeing craft

Here, we can experience this handmade life

Following the Dong ethnic dyers

Feel life with handicraft, understand the ancient life art

7

Walking through the Hengxing Wind Bridge

The Hengxing Wind Bridge

Historically distant, but under the protection of local people

It has remained unchanged for many years

It is the second treasure of Hengxing Dongzhai

Because Dongzhai's buildings are always built on the river

And the wind bridge spans the river, with tall hanging houses on both sides

In the misty smoke, a glance can be comparable to the romanticism of the Jiangnan waterways

Secluded and beautiful~

Wearing minority ethnic clothing, experiencing ethnic customs

8

In Hengxing Dongzhai, the clothing of the locals is particularly distinctive

Unlike the colorful minority ethnic clothing

The ethnic clothing of the Dong is mostly black, gray, and purple

And decorated with silver jewelry

Although the colors are relatively elegant

They have a romantic and poetic flavor

Perhaps this is consistent with the characteristic of a quiet and comfortable Dong ethnic village

Here, try on these distinctive clothing, experience the local flavor

Also do a 'Dong ethnic person'~

Experience a Dong ethnic bonfire party

9

When it's dark and windy

It's most suitable to experience a Dong ethnic bonfire party

Following the enthusiastic compatriots

Together around the roaring bonfire

Singing and dancing, throwing away all worries~

10

Go to Hengxing Dongzhai in summer to escape the heat

When summer comes, go to Hengxing Dongzhai

On this land of Guizhou, there is no summer at all

Outside is scorching heat, here is still cool and shaded, with lush green grass~

Summer must be beautiful, Hengxing Dongzhai is at least nine out of ten

It is both cool and shaded and clear and breezy

Escape the heat and cool down, don't miss it~
