Escape the hustle and bustle of the city—I found a real-life fairy tale forest in Zhaoxing Dong Village!

There’s a breeze from the human world that fills my dreams with endless possibilities💨
Compared to the busy city, I love this fairy tale world deep in the mountains of Guizhou, forgotten by time. Zhaoxing Dong Village was named a "Village on the Edge of Time" by National Geographic and is one of China’s seven major hiking routes! This early autumn, I truly found a real-life fairy tale forest village here🌳

When you don’t want to work, come stay here for a few days!
High-speed trains run directly from Guangdong, Sichuan, Chongqing, and other places🚄 making travel easy even for the lazy.
Super cost-effective and you can experience the most authentic Dong ethnic life👏

✨Super convenient transportation:
After arriving at Congjiang Station by high-speed train🏆
The guesthouse will kindly pick you up, or you can take the scenic area shuttle bus for 15 minutes straight to the center of the Dong village!

✨Authentic local life check-in spots:
Although it’s a tourist area, it’s so well preserved!
Locals still maintain their original lifestyle.
In the early morning streets, you can still see grandmas selling vegetables🥬
The Dong village is divided into 5 major clans, with 5 drum towers that are truly impressive‼️
Each drum tower is the social center of a clan.
The most local, lively atmosphere gathers here~
