Hiding in the mountains to find myself - Day and night in Dali Dong Village

On the fourth day of our trip to Guizhou, we arrived at Dali Dong Village.
The village without over-commercialization is so fragrant! It can be said that this is the most worthwhile trip in the past few days (however, this simple village has not started to charge admission tickets yet)
Compared with the crowds of people in Xijiang, the tranquility and low-keyness of Dali Dong Village really won my heart. The timid Dong girl waitress in the restaurant, the old vendor who is not good at shouting on the Wind and Rain Bridge, the children running and laughing on the slope, and the patrol team members greeting the residents on the roadside in Dong language. This scene of fellow villagers being one family makes people intoxicated and yearning.
After one day and one night, I thought I had explored all the attractions in the village.
When there are many people, cars can only be parked at the entrance of the village. Some villagers' private cars will pick up passengers into the village, charging 5 yuan per person. The distance between the village gate and the village is about 1.8 kilometers, so we chose to walk in. On the way in, you can also take a panoramic photo of the entire village as shown in Figure 2.
Because the village has not been developed much, all the people living there are indigenous people. The layout of Jingshangjian B&B is very healing. There will also be activities to take everyone on a village tour, introducing everyone to the village’s schools, wells, wealthy families, Dong ethnic customs, etc. This time we chose a garden room. The small French garden outside the house is also very charming. For dining, you can choose a villager restaurant near Fengyu Bridge. We chose the rice field restaurant in Inoue.
The village is divided into Lower Village, Middle Village and Upper Village. You can walk up along the bell and drum tower. On the way to the observation deck, you will pass by the villagers' terraced fields. It happens to be the harvest season, so you can see the plump ears of wheat and feel the wind blowing the wheat waves.
The whole village is very simple and simple, and being in the deep mountains gives people a feeling of escaping from daily life and being isolated from the world. It is a good place to seek inner peace.
