Zhaoxing Village, DongZai, Guizhou, China

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.

This city is the right place for me and i could say it will be a great place for many of us especially for those with kids.

Nancheng has lots of nicely maintain park. Lots of greenery. Lots of sports facilities. Lots of restaurants. Lots of nice pubs as well but not those heavy metal rock songs pubs.

Transportation in Nancheng is convenient. MRT started from early 2017 (only one line at the moment)

Farm In The City

Farm in the City is one of the coolest place in Sri Kembangan, which is close to Puchong an Putrajaya. This is more than just a farm. It is like animals living in a farm where visitors are allow to get close with the animals. You are also allow to feed and patting those animals. Kids just love it and so do us.

I visited this place twice and my last trip was with my parents and kids. My dad insisted not to go in cause it might be just an ordinary mini ZOO, but unexpectedly he love it so much an insist my sister to bring her kids there when she came to KL for holidays.

One good about this Farm In The City is there are lots of trees and you dont feel hot at all.

You are given some bird food to feed the birds. Everyone love this including the seniors.

All the animals feeding are given free. Childrens really enjoy geting closer to the animals by feeding them.
