Zhaoxing Village: the heart of Dong Ethnic Minority

A visit to Guizhou and its ethnic minority groups would not be complete without a stop in Zhaoxing Dong village (肇兴乡) and it’s surrounding countryside. Zhaoxing is indeed one of the best places to experience the lifestyle of the Dong People, which is one of the officially recognized ethnic groups of China.
The village is located in the Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture in west Guizhou Province, surrounded by rice paddies and lush forests, crossed by the Nanjing River.
Today over 4,000 people live in the village, making Zhaoxing one of the biggest settlements of the Dong Ethnic Minority people.
