Things to do in Liping

We really enjoyed our visit to Zhaoxing Dong Village. It is a charming little village, still inhabited by locals, with a lovely atmosphere and plenty of character.During our visit, there were relatively few tourists, so the village was rather quiet and there wasn’t much activity going on. However, we actually enjoyed this peaceful atmosphere. We loved wandering through its narrow streets, observing everyday local life, admiring the traditional architecture, and attending the evening cultural performance.The following morning, we also made a short trip to the nearby Tang’An Rice Terraces. Unfortunately, the cold weather and strong wind didn’t allow us to spend as much time there as we would have liked, but it was still worth the visit.Overall, Zhaoxing is a lovely place to experience Dong culture and enjoy a slower pace of life. We would definitely recommend including it in a trip to this part of China!

When visiting Zhaoxing Dong Village, don't miss the Tang'an Terraces atop the mountain. Compared to the bustling villages below, this place retains a rare, pristine atmosphere. Layer upon layer of stone-built terraces unfold along the valley, stilted houses are scattered among the fields, and a drum tower stands quietly in the village, creating a healing pastoral scene of Dong culture. Two ways to experience it are recommended: if you have the energy, you can hike along the ancient path from Zhaoxing to Tang'an, walking along the ridges to experience the texture of the terraces up close; if you prefer a more relaxed trip, take a shuttle bus up the mountain. In the early morning, the mountains are often shrouded in mist, with clouds drifting among the terraces like a fairyland; in the evening, the setting sun casts its glow over the rice paddies, and smoke rises from the village chimneys, making for stunning photos at every turn. The area is very sparsely commercialized, with few noisy shops, and you can still see locals working in the fields. The scenery changes with the seasons: during the irrigation season, the rice paddies are like mirrors, and in autumn, the landscape is a sea of ​​golden hues. Tips: The temperature on the mountain is low, so remember to bring a light jacket. The stone paths are slippery, so watch your step. If you want to get away from the crowds and quietly experience the rural life of southeastern Guizhou, the Tang'an Terraces are worth a special trip.

It's a free attraction, and quite nice, better than Zhaoxing Dong Village. It's a very primitive village. Remember to find the right angle; the photos turn out quite well. Because we got up late, we arrived there in the afternoon and found a restaurant to eat at. Many shops there sell nice handmade ornaments, trinkets, and sachets. We didn't climb to the very top of the village; the first half was better.

There are really many drum towers in the scenic area, but they all look very similar no matter how you look at them. Only when the locals take you to see them and talk to you can you discover their differences. They grew up here since childhood, and many elderly people will sit down to sell things or play chess, allowing you to feel the local customs.

The people are very friendly and greet you happily. There is no commercial tourism at all, and it is especially suitable for those who like sports. There are hiking/running trails on all sides. There is also a big fat cow that takes a bath every day... You don't even need to go to the zoo. Meals: Fried noodles 8, small plate of meat 20, 35-proof glutinous rice wine 10 yuan per catty. Standard rooms are usually 100-200. There are many children in the town, please be careful and drive slowly

When you go to Liping, you must visit Qiaojie. This is also the place where the Red Army held its first important meeting during the Long March, the "Liping Conference". The Liping Conference adjusted the direction of the Long March and laid the foundation for the victory of the Long March. From this point of view, Liping is an auspicious place. Qiaojie has a history of more than 600 years, and some of the Ming and Qing Dynasty buildings are very old.

非常值得一去，尤其是夏天避暑的好地方，秋天赏枫叶🍁，行走在大自然之中，心情特别愉悦！

Feilong Cave is located 12 kilometers northeast of Ciping, Jinggangshan City, Jiangxi Province. It is located in Liping Village and is close to Tongmuling, one of the five major outposts. Legend has it that there was a flying dragon that didn't like to show off in the sky, but liked to do somersaults underground. One year, it hollowed out the entire Liping underground and created the Nine Palaces and Eighteen Halls. Because there are many stone swallows living in the cave all year round, some people call it "Stone Swallow Cave". According to the investigation of relevant departments, this peculiar cave belongs to the Devonian limestone, which is about 250 million to 380 million years old.

You don't need to walk far, which is good. It is very friendly to the elderly, the weak, the sick and the lazy who don't like to climb mountains. The disadvantage is that the toilet inside is too bad, it's hard to describe. Parking is convenient, mainly because there are few tourists.
