A Great Place for a Short Break
肇兴侗寨的点评
点评：My wife and I took a two-day trip to this village. We used a travel agent to book the train tickets, hotel, and taxi from the station to the hotel. We travelled 4 hours by train from Guangzhou South railway station to CongJian railway station which is a twenty-minute taxi ride from the village.
Before we could enter the village, we had to register at the visitor centre. The taxi driver knew the procedure, so as we registered, he drove to the exit to meet us. No problems.
Then he drove us to the booked hotel on the main street where the owner insisted we find another place as he was not registered to take foreigners. A phone call to the travel agency produced another hotel and we trailed our wheelie cases there. A lot better hotel and no problems registering! The hotel owner said he wasn’t surprised about the first hotel as the owner was a bit strange and besides it was pig-stye of a place with even no toilets in the rooms. A narrow escape for us!
Note: Hotels are now obliged by law to take foreigners, but if they decline just find another place as there are dozens of them in the village. I reckon the hotel reception is a good indication of the quality of the hotel.
We settled into our nice room, a bit small but there were twin beds, Internet, toilet and shower etc. everything was there we’d expect in a village hotel. Outside a small stream complete with ducks gurgled past our window.
Then we set out to explore the village. We strolled up and down most of the main street which is mainly clothes shops, snack and coffee bars, noodle bars, and couple of restaurants and a few hotels. Of course, there’s a post office and a bank. The clothes shops specialize in local Dong dresses made from locally dyed indigo blue cloth.
We ate an acceptable dinner in one of the restaurants. Then we bought tickets to the eight o’clock local show from a seller on the main street.
Note: there are two shows each night, both last two hours. One starting at eight o’clock and the other at eight thirty. Both showcase Dong culture. On the second night we went to the eight thirty show, and they are both good. Expect to pay around ¥80 a ticket, but if business is slack and you haggle a few yuan may be knocked off the ticket price.
After the shows we strolled around more of the village and took photos, the village is illuminated at night and presents some great photo opportunities.
The next morning, we ate a leisurely breakfast of noodles and dumplings in a place off the main street. My wife had been advised that these places were better than the main street ones, as they were for locals and not tourists!
In the afternoon we explored the mountain village of Tang’An (TA reviewed).
When we returned it was time for dinner then we graced the eight thirty two-hour community show with our presence. Being creatures of habit, we again strolled around the village, but didn’t succumb to any of the live music (never anything else but singing guitar player) venues, and then headed back to the hotel as the day had been rather tiring.
The next morning was our last morning in the village and we went to the post office on the main street and my wife posted all her purchases, which were by now too heavy and bulky to go in her suitcase, back to Guangzhou.
After a noodle and dumpling lunch we meandered back to the hotel, packed our cases. While we waited for our taxi to CongJian station my wife chatted to the hotel owner, and I became friends with his lovely black dog.
We caught the 16:40 train and arrived back in GuangZhou South as expected at 20:46. A taxi ride and we were back home at 21:30.
Next year, I think we’ll be going back to Zhao Xing, as just a little local knowledge is so useful.

翻译：我和妻子花了两天时间到这个村子。我们通过旅行社预订了火车票、酒店和从车站到酒店的出租车。我们从广州南站坐了 4 个小时的火车到从建火车站，从那里坐出租车只需 20 分钟。
在我们进入村庄之前，我们必须在游客中心登记。出租车司机知道流程，所以当我们登记后，他开车到出口接我们。没问题。
然后他开车送我们到主街上预订的酒店，老板坚持让我们找另一家酒店，因为他没有登记接待外国人。我们给旅行社打了电话，找到了另一家酒店，我们把行李箱拖到了那里。这家酒店好多了，登记也没有问题！酒店老板说他对第一家酒店并不感到惊讶，因为老板有点奇怪，而且那是一个猪圈般的地方，房间里甚至没有厕所。我们侥幸逃脱了！
注意：法律规定酒店必须接待外国人，但如果他们拒绝，就另找一家，因为村里有几十个外国人。我认为酒店接待处是酒店质量的一个很好的指标。
我们住进了漂亮的房间，有点小，但有两张单人床、互联网、厕所和淋浴等。乡村酒店里的一切都有。窗外有一条小溪，鸭子潺潺地从我们窗前流过。
然后我们出发去探索这个村庄。我们在主要街道上漫步，那里主要是服装店、小吃店和咖啡馆、面馆、几家餐馆和几家酒店。当然，还有一家邮局和一家银行。服装店专营当地侗族服饰，由当地染成靛蓝的布制成。
我们在一家餐馆吃了一顿不错的晚餐。然后我们从主街上的一个卖家那里买了八点当地演出的门票。
注意：每晚有两场演出，每场持续两个小时。一场八点开始，另一场八点半开始。两场都展示了侗族文化。第二天晚上我们去看了八点半的演出，两场都很棒。票价大约为 80 元，但如果生意清淡，你可以讨价还价，票价可能会便宜几元。
演出结束后，我们在村子里四处闲逛并拍照，夜晚的村子灯火通明，是拍照的好机会。
第二天早上，我们在主街外的一家餐馆悠闲地吃了面条和饺子。有人告诉我妻子，这些地方比主街上的好，因为它们是为当地人而不是游客准备的！
下午，我们游览了唐安山村（TA 点评）。
回来后，到了晚餐时间，我们参加了八点半两小时的社区演出。由于习惯的缘故，我们又在村子里闲逛了一会儿，但没有去任何现场音乐表演（除了吉他手唱歌之外什么都没有），然后就回酒店了，因为这一天实在是太累了。
第二天早上是我们在村子里的最后一个早晨，我们去了大街上的邮局，我妻子把她买的所有东西都寄回了广州，这些东西现在太重了，放不进她的行李箱里。
吃完面条和饺子午餐后，我们悠闲地回到酒店，收拾行李。在等出租车去从建站的时候，我妻子和酒店老板聊了聊，我和他可爱的黑狗成了朋友。
我们赶上了 16:40 的火车，预计 20:46 回到广州南站。打车后，我们在 21:30 回到家。
明年，我想我们会回到肇兴，因为一点当地知识非常有用。
