Family trip to Zhaoxing Dong Village in Liping! Stay in a stilt house with kids and experience 3 super fun intangible cultural heritages

Taking the kids to Zhaoxing Dong Village in Liping, completely healed by the slow life here! Stay in a stilt house, learn intangible cultural heritage, enjoy delicious food, a 3-day 2-night itinerary, the kids are happy every day, this super detailed guide helps you arrange everything~ 🏠 Stay in a stilt house (family-friendly experience) Chose the "Zhaoxing Dong Village Stilt House Homestay," the room is on the second floor with a super large balcony (you can see the Drum Tower)! The owner specially prepared a small bed for the kids (can be placed next to the big bed), and also provided children's toothbrushes and slippers (super thoughtful). In the morning, you can hear Dong ethnic aunts singing mountain songs on the balcony, the kids hum along, very atmospheric. Sitting on the balcony at night, the owner also gives home-grown bayberries, sour and sweet and juicy, the kids can eat a small bowl at a time~ 🎨 3 must-try intangible cultural heritages (kids can play) Dong cloth tie-dye: At the "Intangible Cultural Heritage Experience Hall," the teacher will teach the kids tie-dye (choose simple patterns, like small flowers). Put gloves on the kids, tie the cloth with rubber bands, then put it into the dye, after 10 minutes you can take out your own Dong cloth! The kids holding their own small scarf feel a great sense of accomplishment and can also give it as a gift to good friends. Experience fee is 50 RMB per person (half price for kids), including all materials, and you can take it home after making it. Lusheng making: Experience making mini Lusheng (suitable for kids' small hands), the teacher will prepare materials (bamboo, copper pieces) for the kids, teach them to assemble and tune. Although the sound of the made Lusheng is a bit small, the kids blow very seriously and say "I want to play it for grandpa." The whole process takes 1 hour, the teacher is very patient and will teach hand by hand, no need to worry about kids not learning. Dong embroidery: Chose a simple "little butterfly" pattern, prepared colorful silk threads and small embroidery hoops for the kids. Dong grandmothers will teach the kids to thread needles and stitch. At first, the kids often pricked their fingers, but gradually got skilled. The finished small embroidery can be made into keychains, the kids hang them on their backpacks and show off several times every day. 🍜 Family food recommendations (no disappointments) Dong sticky rice: 3 RMB each at roadside stalls, wrapped in banana leaves, filled with peanuts and minced meat, kids can hold and eat by themselves without getting their hands dirty. Pickled fish fried rice: Signature dish in restaurants, the pickled fish is not fishy, rice grains are distinct, kids can eat half a small bowl. Sweet rice wine cake: The sweet rice wine cake at dessert shops is super soft and glutinous, cooked in sweet rice wine with red dates and longan, kids love drinking it, warm and very stomach-friendly. 🚶‍♀️ Easy village tour route Morning: Intangible Cultural Heritage Experience Hall (tie-dye + Lusheng making) → Drum Tower Square (watch Dong aunts weaving Dong cloth) Afternoon: Rest at the homestay (kids nap for 1 hour) → Stroll through Dong village alleys (buy small accessories, like silver pendants, 20 RMB each) Evening: Watch the bonfire party at Drum Tower Square (starts every day at 7 PM, can dance with Dong people, kids are super excited) After 3 days of playing, the kids said "I don't want to go home"~This kind of trip where kids can personally experience intangible cultural heritage and feel the slow life is really meaningful, highly recommended for all families who want to let their kids experience Dong culture!
