Real-Life 'Castle in the Sky' at Zhaoxing Dong Village

After scouring through countless Zhaoxing Dong Village travel guides, I finally found my dream accommodation! 'Yunman Mountain Residence - Panoramic High-altitude Boutique Stay' perfectly blends the romance and poetry of this thousand-year-old Dong village into everyday travel life. After staying here, you'll want to permanently add it to your itinerary! 🌍 Perfect Location! Explore the Dong Village without detours This boutique stay is located in the heart of Zhaoxing Dong Village, just a few minutes' walk to the five drum tower clusters, with rows of stilted houses right before your eyes. Step outside and you're at the starting point of the village's sightseeing shuttle, making it super convenient to visit attractions. Even better, if you inform the owner of your itinerary in advance, they'll arrange for a driver to pick you up from the tourist service center to the village entrance and even help with your luggage! Struggling with heavy suitcases on mountain roads? Not a problem here! 🌅 5th-floor Observation Deck is a Must-Visit! Enjoy Exclusive Dong Village Views The high-altitude observation terrace deserves all the praise! The expansive view allows you to overlook the entire village: Morning: Watch the Dong Village awaken in the morning light, with the drum tower eaves reflecting the sunrise, full of life and charm. Rainy Days: Mist swirls around the stilted houses, creating a fairyland-like atmosphere—every snapshot is a masterpiece. Evening: Sit by the Klein blue geometric facade, feel the breeze, and watch the sunset paint the sky red—it's breathtakingly beautiful! The guest rooms are also amazing! Suspended in mid-air, they are clean and tranquil, with windows framing natural scenes of layered fir forests, terraced fields, and winding streams. Waking up to birdsong and a view full of greenery is utterly healing! 🍜 Irresistible Food! Worth staying up late for The food here could be a standalone highlight! ✅ Breakfast: Handmade Yunnan noodles with a chewy texture, paired with juicy sweet corn grown locally in the Dong region and farm-fresh eggs—it's so good even night owls would wake up early to finish every bite! ✅ Afternoon Tea: The handmade bayberry drink is perfectly sweet and tangy, far better than anything you'd find on the street! Plus, there are exquisite snacks and drinks made with ancient well water—enjoying these while taking in the scenery is pure bliss. 💡 Handy Tips for Your Stay Communicate your itinerary with the owner in advance for hassle-free pick-up and drop-off. The 5th-floor observation deck is a must-visit in the morning or on rainy days for guaranteed stunning photos. Choose a high-floor room for a more expansive view. The bayberry drink is limited, so go early to grab a glass! If you're looking for a comfortable and photogenic stay in Zhaoxing Dong Village, this is the place to be! I can't wait to come back and admire the Dong Village's beauty a hundred more times!
