Experience the charm of the Dong village and the simplicity of rural life during the May Day mini-holiday!

🚄 Escape the hustle and bustle, explore the ancient village in the deep mountains Compared to the bustling Qianhu Miao Village, I prefer this quiet ancient village that is accessible by high-speed rail. During the May Day holiday, avoid the crowds and come to this Dong village known as 'the village on the edge of time' to enjoy a peaceful retreat. With low commercialization and simple local customs, it's an excellent choice for relaxation. A leisurely 3-day 2-night trip will immerse you in the charm of ethnic micro-culture. ✨【Recommended Highlights】 🔹 Free admission policy for tourists with Guangdong residence. 🔹 Dong village, one of the oldest and largest villages in China. 🔹 Terraced fields scenery, one of China's seven most beautiful hiking routes. 🔹 Experience local singing, dancing, and tie-dye crafts firsthand, and appreciate the rich and colorful minority culture. 💰【Travel Budget】 🔸 Guangzhou South Station to Congjiang Station: High-speed rail costs 194 yuan. 🔸 Congjiang Station to Dong Village: Take a shuttle bus from the station, costing 20 yuan. 🔸 Tickets: Free (for tourists with Guangdong residence). 💡 Tips: Avoid using DiDi taxis, as outside vehicles are not allowed into the scenic area.
