General presentation
Hongjiang and Huaihua
Former merchant port, dong villages and forested valleys connect Hunan, Guizhou and Guangxi.
To understand what Hongjiang and Huaihua are, you need to look at the former commercial city of Hongjiang, the ancient village of Qianyang and the Dong Village of Huangdu. These places give us a view of a territory marked by urban life, heritage, riverscapes and the countryside and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.

A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place indismissible
Ancienne ville commerciale de Hongjiang
Rules, guilds and merchant houses recall the prosperity of the river trade. Collections and remains take time to go beyond a mere photographic stop; a visit to the river helps to understand their regional historical context.

Old village of Qianyang

Village
Dong Village of Huangdu
Drum towers and covered bridges structure a rural dong complex south of Huaihua. An early-in-the-day tour allows you to better observe local usages and the details of the place, while avoiding some of the groups and traffic.
