So far this is the most beautiful village which i came though. Zhaoxing village is situated in southeast of Guizhou. It is one of the largest Dong Minority villages in China. It is surrounded with beautiful scenery of wooden building, wind and rain bridge and drum tower.
Near the Drum Tower there is a stage for Dong Drama performant with held every night, if i remember correctly around 7pm. Zhaoxing Drum Towers and Dong Village were both listed in the Guinness Book of World Records. It is a must for you to visit the Dong drama which is excellent. Arrive early so you are able to get yourself a sit, it last for about an hour with English subtitles on an LED screen. It is free, by the way.
The only access to the village is by bus. You may take a high speed train from Guangzhou to Guiyang (Congaing Station). It take about 3 hours passing by Guiling. From the Congaing Station, it take another 15 mins by minibus about RMB10 to Zhaoxing Village. By the way, you need to pay of the admission tickets to the village.
The only and best way to wonder around the town is by walking. There are a few wooden drum towers and old win and rain bridges scatter through out the town. Many locals especially old villagers will sitting on the bridge playing chest. There are also lots of direction signboard here and you will not lost your way.
There are plenty of restaurant here. So not to worry about food. We had beef steamboat for 2 nights, as it was really delicious.
