Dali Dong Village

Dali Dong Village is a well-preserved traditional settlement in Rongjiang County, Guizhou, home to around 300 households of the Dong ethnic minority. The village is known for its cluster of centuries-old wooden dwellings, stone-paved lanes, and a striking drum tower, the traditional gathering place at the heart of Dong community life. Surrounded by mountains and terraced rice paddies, it offers a quiet, authentic glimpse into rural Dong culture, far from the more touristy villages nearby. It's a great stop for travelers wanting to see traditional architecture and daily village life still largely untouched by mass tourism.
