Du Dong

Dudong is a remote Dong village nestled in the mountainous area on the border of Guizhou, Hunan and Guangxi, 48km from Sanjiang city. Here one can see shelter bridges, stockade villages and rice terraces. Dudong was a centre for guerilla action against the Japanese during the 1940s. Its newly built drum tower is the highest in the region.

Gaoding

Linlue Village

Five km from Dudong, or about an hours trek, is Linlue Village. Here rows of brown-roofed, wooden houses tidily line the top of the mountain. Three drum towers are interspersed with the houses. The stockade village stands like a bodyguard overlooking the rice terraces on the slope.

Batuan Village
