Wooden-stilt Houses - Zhaoxing Dong Village
Walk into Zhaoxing Dong Village (zhào xìng dòng zhài 肇兴侗寨) - the largest Dong Village in Qiandongnan in Guizhou Province, and you will feel like the clock is being turned back. All the buildings in the village are wooden-stilt houses. This is a picturesque village noted for the beautiful natural sights and unique ethnic flavor. It is surrounded by verdant mountains with a crystal stream running through.
The drum tower is the mark of Dong village, that is to say, every dong village has its own drum tower, and Zhaoxing is no exception. Its five drum towers are known far and wide for their unique styles. Each of them has a particular name that is Ren (rén 仁) - benevolence, Yi (yì 义) - righteousness, Li (lǐ礼) - courtesy, Zhi (zhì 智) - wisdom and Xin (xìn 信) - faithfulness respectively. They differ in method of construction, external appearance, height and size.
The flower bridge is another architectural wonder in Zhaoxing. The creative Dong People built corridors which provide benches for passers-by to have a rest or run for shelter. It is astonishing that there is no single nail on the whole bridge. With the firm joint of mortise and tenon, the bridge is strong enough to withstand the region's strong winds and rains.
In the village, everything is simple and far away from the influence of modern city life. Only the murmur of the little brooks, the happy songs of Dong People and the rhythmic beating of the rod for laundry will provide the occasional sounds of daily life. The verdant mountains, simple but elegant houses and the smiling faces of Dong People will greet you and complete this natural feast for your senses.
