It is described by National Geographic as a "village on the edge of time." It seems that time has forgotten its arrival, and it is this not-so-easy neglect that has led to its original intention. Zhaoxing Dong Village is surrounded by mountains on all sides and embraced in the mountain basin. The endless green of the earth beneath your feet is a long-lost oasis of life. Walking into the village deep in the green mountains, the wildness of the mountains and the hustle and bustle of the world create a variety of styles in the village.

①Drum Tower
Zhaoxing Dong Village is divided into five major clans, which the locals call "tuan". There are five groups in the village: benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and trustworthiness. There are five drum towers, each with different style and appearance.
② Wind and Rain Bridge
Also known as the Flower Bridge, it is used to shelter from wind and rain. Villagers can also enjoy the cool in summer. Old people do needlework here every day, and people often wash clothes by the river under the bridge.
③ Dong ethnic group drum dance
Zhaoxing is not only the hometown of drum towers, but also the hometown of singing and dancing. During every festival, the Dong people gather in the drum tower and singing platform to hold ethnic activities such as "stepping on the singing hall" and "carrying the official".
