In the evening, I happened to meet Dong singers in the lobby for a night of singing and drinking, enjoying Dong songs and special glutinous rice wine, and experiencing Dong customs firsthand. . When I woke up in the morning and opened the window, I could see the distant mountains and the clouds and mist, the entire Dong Village was like a splash-ink landscape painting unfolding in front of my eyes, while enjoying the tranquility of the morning light, while enjoying a hearty breakfast, it was really comfortable! . 🌈Local specialty food Sour soup fish Glutinous rice wrapped meat Crispy pork rice noodle Roasted pork belly Wild bayberry juice Oil tea

A few days ago, I made a pot of hot black tea. The aroma of the tea filled the air as I sat and drank it, looking at the photos of the ancient songs I took last winter. Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, another year has passed. I feel lucky to have such an ordinary life. Those simple little pleasures, like drinking tea and flipping through photos, are the warmest moments. Then I came across the photos of the ancient songs I took when I went to the Dong Village last year. The atmosphere was great, and just looking at them made me feel relaxed. The ancient songs are perfect for taking photos. I highly recommend wearing Chinese-style clothes or Morandi-colored clothes. White clothes are especially photogenic, and the photos look beautiful. Every photo is full of warmth, and compared to now, I really think that simple life was great. I remember that when I went to the Dong Village, the winter air was particularly fresh, as if it had been purified, and it was just the right amount of cold. Walking on the stone road, surrounded by greenery, the wooden houses looked very charming, and the overall scene was very peaceful. It was a place where not too many people disturbed you, and it was very comfortable. There was no noise from the city, only quietness and nature. Walking on the road, I felt very relaxed. In general, that simple and quiet life is really the most touching. You don't need anything luxurious, just enjoy some small, ordinary moments. Make a pot of tea, flip through old photos, go to a quiet place, and feel the fresh air. Life is about these simple beauties, and they are truly worth cherishing. If you have the chance, you can also go to the Dong Village and take a look. It's really a great place to relax.
