Zengchong, China's Most Beautiful Village
This photo is hot! Share it!
Zengchong, Guizhou Province, SouthWest China.
Hidden behind dizzying mountain precipices and far removed from any semblance of modern civilization, Zengchong is a citadel of Dong Minority culture as it has been for over three centuries. Consisting of no more than 100 slate-roofed dwellings on a heart-shaped islet cradled by ribbon-like terraces sculpted out of the surrounding hillsides, the village is arguably one of China’s most beautiful.

Fascinating - talk about a small town and everyone knowing your business, ha. But thats my ethno-centric individualistic American outlook.
Did you get a chance to walk around inside? I would love to see photos of the walkways and people and the food. So interesting!
thank you -

Simple but real. Great China gives the smallest village I've ever seen. Thank you for the pleasure of discovering this cosy place.
Nice. Interesting.
