The Drum Towers of Zhaoxing (Guizhou, China 2016)
Zhaoxing is a pretty Dong minority town nestled in a valley a long way away from anywhere. It's full of old wooden buildings, wind and rain bridges, and drum towers, and surrounded by beautiful scenery. It's had its share of government sponsored "Chinese Minority Village" makeover, but still remains pretty authentic. Once a year, they hold a very popular show, right after dusk, to celebrate the minority's heritage and wish for a good harvest. This was one of my favorite stops along my route to discover the ethnic minorities from southern China.
