Zhaoxing Dong Village
Zhaoxing Dong Village, the largest Dong village in China, is also called Qianhu (meaning a thousand households) Dong Village because about 1,000 households of Dong people live here. It locates itself 72 km south of the county town of Liping. The village is seated in the plains surrounded by green mountains. The Zhaoxing River passes through the village.
 
There are five sections in the village, namely ren (meaning benevolence), yi (meaning justice), li (meaning courtesy), zhi (meaning wisdom), xin (meaning faith). There lives one clan in every section, and every clan has built its own drum tower. A street runs from east to west in the village. Besides typical pile dwelling with roofs of black tiles, the features of the Dong construction are also demonstrated in the five wooden drum towers of different shapes, four magnificent wood-structured roofed flower bridges and five theatrical stages.
 
Zhaoxing village is also a cradle of Dong festivals and dances. The important Dong festivals include Dong New Year, the New Harvest Festival, Sama Festival and so on. There are many kinds of Dong song and dance, among which the Grand Song (Dage in Chinese) is the best known. Zhaoxing is also the place where Dong people gather to perform the Dong drama every year.
 
Tourists can take buses from the county towns of Liping, Rongjiang, or Congjiang to get to Zhaoxing Village. The village provides accommodation in the newly built wooden hotel - Zhaoxing Hotel. It is convenient to stay there and it's clean.
