the thousand-year-old Dao village

Step into the thousand-year-old Dao village, and discover the silence and mystery hidden deep within the folds of time.

Arriving in Lian Nan feels like passing through a time tunnel, entering a place steeped in centuries of stories — the ancient Dao village. Every brick, every roof tile tells tales of rise and fall, vestiges of a once-flourishing era now quiet. Each building reflects the wisdom and diligence of the Dao people.

The village is nestled against the mountains, its layout perfectly harmonious. Mist drifts gently among the peaks, painting a scene as exquisite as a traditional Chinese landscape painting. Amid the green mountains and clear waters, the ancient village stands quietly, like a wise elder narrating millennia-old legends. Here, time seems to slow, allowing visitors to feel the calm and mystery preserved through generations.

At sunrise, the village is bathed in golden light — simultaneously magnificent and peaceful. Clouds float like a heavenly veil, making each moment feel precious, filling hearts with fresh emotions and hope.

Strolling through the village, the unique Dao culture unfolds: bamboo rafts drifting along the stream, lively ethnic performances, and night-time bonfires full of energy. Every experience captivates, from savoring local delicacies and sipping fragrant rice wine to joining the Dao in spirited dances — moments both beautiful and unforgettable.

The ruins speak of history’s impermanence, the elders embody love for their homeland, and the young generation carries the hope for the future. To feel the story of time, come and witness the enduring warmth and resilience of this ancient village.
