Zhaoxing Scenic Area is a stunning Dong village nestled in the mountains of southeastern Guizhou, China. A true hidden-gem for visitors to China.
Zhaoxing is the largest Dong town and is a beautiful town to visit in Guizhou.
The town is famous for it's 5 drum towers that represent the 5 manners, as well as the views around it.
A short hike up the river will take you into the rice terraces. Hike up the path and you'll have a stunning viewpoint for sunset with the town nestled into the foothills of the rice terraces.
If you're feeling up to it, you can also take that hike further. Go on for about 2.5-ish hours up the hill and you'll find 2 more, smaller, Dong villages.
Zhaoxing is the perfect destination for those seeking an authentic cultural experience off the beaten path.
Zhaoxing is just 3km away from Congjiang's high speed rail station - making it an easy spot to visit. From the station you can get a bus or a taxi to the town and then walk to your hotel inside.
