Huanggang≠test paper! Guizhou's hidden Dong village is so beautiful that it is deified

🌄 The triple aesthetics of original ecological life 1. Symbiosis between architecture and nature 🏡🌿 More than 300 Dong ethnic group stilt houses are built against the mountain. The wooden structures do not require a single nail or rivet, and the green tiles on the roofs and the stone pavement have acquired a warm luster over time. The five drum towers in the village are not only places for meetings, but also the embodiment of the Dong ethnic group's worldview. Wooden boards with the 24 solar terms are hung inside each drum tower, and the flying dragon carvings on the eaves hint at the agricultural civilization's belief in time. In the morning mist, the outline of the Drum Tower blends with the green mountains in the distance. In the evening, smoke rises from the rows of wooden buildings, forming a flowing ink painting. 🎨 2. Everyday life filled with singing 🎶👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 This is the "hometown of male Dong ethnic group songs". From children learning to speak to the elderly, singing is their second language. The impromptu singing by the bonfire in the drum tower, the impromptu humming while working in the rice fields, and even the ritual songs in weddings and funerals all make the ancient Dong motto of "food nourishes the body, songs nourish the heart" vivid and tangible. If you are lucky enough to encounter the "Heaven Shouting Festival" on the 15th day of the sixth lunar month, you can witness the shocking scene of thousands of people chanting sacrificial words and praying for rain with songs - it is said that after the ceremony, the weather will reverse ⛈️🌈, mystery and piety are intertwined. 3. The farming wisdom of rice-fish-duck symbiosis 🐟🦆🌾 The "rice-fish-duck complex system" listed as a global agricultural cultural heritage has continued here for thousands of years: fish swim in the rice fields to loosen the soil and increase oxygen, and ducks eat pests to provide fertilizer, forming a self-sufficient small universe. Visitors can go barefoot into the fields to catch rice fish, watch villagers pick rice with traditional wooden farm tools, and experience the ancient wisdom of coexisting with nature. --- 🛤️ Traveler's humanistic observation notes - Another scale of time ⏳📚 In the morning, I followed the Dong grandmother to steam glutinous rice in bamboo tubes 🍚, in the afternoon I watched the old man smoking water pipe beside the fire pit in the drum tower 💨, and in the evening I met the woman beating Dong cloth and dipping the cloth into the isatis root dye vat - the rhythm of life here is defined by sunrise and sunset 🌅 and agricultural solar terms rather than electronic screens 📱. The village primary school is the most conspicuous building in the village, where the sound of reading and Dong songs are intertwined, and tradition and modernity are delicately balanced. - The unsymbolized reality👵🧵 There is no commercial long table banquet performance, only grandma selling hand-woven Dong cloth under the eaves; the homestay was converted from a barn🏚️→🏡, and when you open the wooden window, you can see the layers of rice drying and red peppers drying🌶️. It is recommended to stay in the "Hecang Meisu" run by locals, fall asleep to the sound of the stream at night💤, and be awakened by the aroma of glutinous rice in the morning☀️. - Hidden gameplay around you 🗺️✨ From Huanggang, you can walk 5 kilometers to Xiaohuang Dong Village (currently under renovation 👷), or drive 15 minutes to Zhanli Village to explore the "changing flowers and plants" fertility legend 🌿👶; if you have enough time, the four-season light and shadow of Tang'an Terraced Fields 🌾📸 and the sickle shaving ceremony of Basha Miao Village ✂️💇♂️ can be connected into a deep cultural route. --- 📍 Travel Tips - Transportation 🚗: It takes 3.5 hours to drive directly from Guiyang via Xiarong Expressway; there is no parking lot in the village, and vehicles need to be parked in the open space at the entrance of the village🅿️. - Experience 🎭: Participate in the folk custom of "carrying an official" (the seventh day of the first lunar month 🎆), and learn Dong cloth batik (reservation with the homestay in advance 📅). - Taste 🍲: You must try Liping Xianghe glutinous rice with pickled fish 🐟, the salty and fragrant collision of rice flower and pork liver in Dongjia oil tea is unforgettable!
