Last stretch

Last stretch

We entered SE Guizhou yesterday, the last of our three-province tour of China.  This area is known for Dong villages which we first visited in western Guangxi.

Typical Dong Village Drum Tower.

Atypical Dong Wind and Rain Bridge as this one has two levels, one for people and one for work animals.
