General presentation
Sanjiang et villages dong
Covered bridges, drum towers and rice fields tell the community architecture dong north of Guangxi.
To understand what Sanjiang and Dong villages are, you have to look at the Wind Bridge and Chengyang Rain, Sanjiang Drum Tower and Chengyang Villages. These places give us a view of a territory marked by heritage, countryside and riverscapes and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Bridge
Pont du Vent et de la Pluie de Chengyang
A long wooden covered bridge crosses the river in the middle of a group of dong villages. An early-in-the-day visit allows you to better observe local usages and details of the place, while avoiding some of the groups and traffic.
Place indismissible
Tour du tambour de Sanjiang
A high structure of wood without nails serves as a community landmark in the centre of the village. Collections and remains take time to go beyond a mere photographic stop; a visit to the village helps to understand their regional historical context.
Place indismissible
Villages de Chengyang
Houses on stilts, rice fields and drum towers make up a inhabited complex around the bridge. An early visit allows you to better observe local usages and the details of the place, while avoiding some of the groups and traffic.
