The room is fully equipped, and every detail reveals the owner's care. What surprised me the most was that the hairdryer is actually a Dyson!💨 This sense of brand quality made me feel both comfortable and luxurious. 🥤What touched me the most was that during my stay, all the drinks in the lobby were free!🥤 On a hot summer day, a cold drink can wash away all the fatigue.

This time I stayed at the largest B&B in Zhaoxing Dong Village [Biyin BE'IN | Castle in the Sky (Zhaoxing Dong Village Branch)], which was pretty good. Because it’s a trip where I want to lie down So accommodation is very important 🏘️Room type/layout: The twin room is super large for the three of us. It is spacious and spacious. 🧹Soundproofing/Hygiene: Good hygiene and very clean Sound insulation is pretty good too 🏕️Surrounding attractions: Inside Zhaoxing Dong Village A master came to pick us up at the high-speed rail station But no matter whether you live in Dong Village or not, you need to buy tickets (you can live without buying tickets or battery tickets) There is also a "Tang'an Rice Terraces" nearby, which is also very beautiful. There are buses with clear lines in the village, and the whole journey takes about 20 minutes. The mountainous road makes me feel a little motion sick. 💗Other tips: There are welcome fruits and welcome snacks Unlimited coffee Breakfast doesn’t have many varieties but it’s quite delicious. There is also an interactive singing performance in the evening. You don’t have to buy tickets for the singing and dancing in the village, which is quite good. The service was excellent. It rained heavily on the day we left. The staff were very attentive and tried their best to protect us from getting wet.

Biyin·Sky Pavilion 📍Zhaoxing Dong Village 🧹Soundproofing/Cleanliness: Biyin is located in the middle of the village, overlooking the Zhentuan Drum Tower. This spot can be considered a peaceful place amidst the hustle and bustle, as it is situated in the middle of the village, making the distance to both ends of the village gates quite reasonable. Although close to the main street and performance area, the hotel is built high up and has good soundproofing. Plus, it's a bit away from the main street, so it's not noisy. After the evening performances end (around 9 pm), there's no need to worry about noise. The room's window balcony offers a delightful view of the Dong Village rooftops; and if you climb up to the hotel's rooftop terrace, you get an excellent spot for an overhead shot of the village. 🏘️️️Room Type/Layout: The room is spacious, with the Drum Tower right at the entrance. 🛌Amenities/Facilities: What's also surprising is that Biyin is not just about photogenic spots, but also the 'ceiling' of details I've experienced in homestays. This is the first time I've stayed in a hotel that provides a washer-dryer combo for each room, which is incredibly convenient during summer travels (the next day after hiking, I washed all my sweaty clothes, so refreshing). The bathroom is spacious, with a long vanity that makes it easy to put on makeup, and it even has an electric heated towel rack; the shower space is large enough, and the water is very comfortable. The bedding and slippers are excellent (for the common issue of poor sound insulation from wooden floors in Dong Village wooden hotels, the hotel thoughtfully provides very comfortable disposable soft slippers, encouraging you to change into them as soon as you return to your room, to reduce the noise of footsteps between floors.) At least during our 2-night stay, we had no issues with sound insulation. 💰️Average Cost: 1000 yuan/night 💗Other tips: The hotel breakfast is also very good, although not varied, it's delicious, especially satisfying for someone like me who loves Chinese-style soupy dishes! I particularly loved their rice noodle toppings, the braised beef brisket is truly 'brisket', stewed until extremely tender and not sticky at all, super delicious. Besides rice noodles, there are also special dishes like black rice and fried rice... The hotel also offers a complimentary afternoon tea, and coffee and tea in the lobby are free. The next day happened to be scorchingly hot, so after hiking back, I sat in the public area in the afternoon, enjoying afternoon tea and some fruit snacks, living a heavenly life!

⛈️ Due to the continuous rain in Guangdong, we decided to go on a spontaneous trip, booked a high-speed train ticket, and set off. We finally arrived at this secluded ancient town, where every day was sunny, turning our moldy hearts sunny too ☀️ 🚄 Transportation Zhuhai→Guangzhou South→Congjiang Station Round-trip fare about 💰580 🚗 The high-speed train station is very close to the scenic area, it's almost impossible to catch a taxi, but you can take a bus. The homestay we stayed at provided a shuttle service, so it was very convenient ▪️ Essential documents People from Guangdong should bring their ID card or residence permit, as they will be checked when entering the scenic area, and Guangdong residents are exempt from the 80 yuan ticket fee ☑️ Itinerary Day 1: Afternoon tea at the homestay → Stroll through the commercial street and admire the beauty of the architecture → Dinner → Drink and listen to music at a bar → Bath at the homestay and enjoy the night view of the ancient town 🌃 Day 2: Self-service breakfast at the homestay → Play at the homestay's indoor playground → Lunch on the commercial street → Nap → Afternoon tea at the homestay → 🌾 Watch the sunset at the Antang terraced fields 🌅 → Enjoy the Dong village grand song at the homestay in the evening Day 3: Self-service breakfast at the homestay → Play in the bubble pool → Take photos and overlook the ancient town from the rooftop observation deck → Stroll through the commercial street → 🌾 Visit the Dong village terraced fields → Return trip to the high-speed train station 🚄 🔺 This time we booked the top-ranked homestay, which made our trip with kids very relaxing. 🏠 The facilities of the homestay are impeccable, with all wooden decorations, making it very solid to stay in. The room's appliances are all from well-known brands. There are two baby playgrounds in the public area, and the fitness area even has a Pilates machine. 🍞 The self-service breakfast includes Dong village special noodles and rice, combining Chinese and Western styles. 🍓 The welcome fruit and afternoon tea are of good quality. 🚗 There is also a shuttle service to and from the high-speed train station, and electric cart transfers within the scenic area. All the amenities are worth the price of admission. The Dong village is not big, but it has distinctive ethnic characteristics. The differentiation gives us a sense of novelty, and the small bridges, flowing water, and architecture of the ancient town are very suitable for taking ethnic-themed photos. Three days and two nights are enough, but for those with kids, four days and three nights are recommended (traveling with kids is really at half speed). 💡 Tips Prepare for chemical and physical sun protection If the child is reluctant to walk, bring a lightweight stroller Local food may not be suitable for children, so bring some snacks and bread for them The cost for a photo shoot is basically 199 or 299 per person, it's best to do your homework in advance

Just like the name, it feels like living in a castle in the air. You can reach the main street by walking up the hotel's own dozens of steps. It is hidden away in the city (not noisy at all) 🔸 📷Camera position: The 360-degree panoramic terrace on the roof overlooks the entire Dong village; the restaurant's outdoor terrace has a perfect view, suitable for relaxing and having afternoon tea. There are 📷camera positions everywhere in the B&B, so you can take photos easily. 🔸 🍞☕️Meals: The B&B provides authentic Dong breakfast: Dong oil tea, special glutinous rice, local specialty soup noodles, which are freshly made by the chef, clean, hygienic and fresh.

There is a travel photography shop, tie-dye shop and food restaurant almost every three steps. You can go to the tie-dye shop to do some tie-dyeing, and it’s quite comfortable to take a walk by the river. The sunset at Tang'an Terraces is beautiful. It takes about 15-20 minutes to get to the Dong Village by minibus. There is still some distance from the parking spot to the viewing platform, about 1 km. You can walk or take a car. It costs 5 yuan per person for carpooling and 20 yuan for chartering. . The sunset is around 7:10, so 6:00 is more than enough to go up. We chartered a car when we got down. It is recommended to charter a car if you get carsick on the winding mountain road. The ecology here is especially good, and the meat is much more delicious than the ones raised on feed in the city! Most of the people doing the catering are villagers, they are very simple, the prices are very low, and there are almost no bad deals. I ate crispy pork and barbecue, which were delicious😋
