Dubbed "Earth's Last Shangri-La," this haven is a mere four-hour high-speed train journey from Guangzhou.

Nestled amidst a congregation of mountains, this quaint Dong village exudes an aura of secluded tranquility and rustic antiquity.

Wandering along the flagstone paths, one imbibes the unhurried rhythm of life that permeates the Dong community.

Perched atop the summit, gazing down upon the seemingly endless terraced fields, and the tendrils of smoke that languidly ascend in the distance, whilst enveloped by a symphony of chirping insects and warbling birds, the unspoken balm to the soul is palpable.
