At the exquisite Chengyang Eight Villages, tourists can spend time at the Wind-Rain Bridge, visit the Drum Tower and chat with amiable local villagers. Chengyang Wind-Rain Bridge is just a part of the breathtaking scenery of Chengyang Eight Villages, the essence of the mysterious culture of Dong people. On the hillside near the bridge, visitors are greeted by the sight of huge, slow-spinning waterwheels and the soft sounds of trickling water. Special wooden or bamboo houses supported by wooden pillars, or Diaojiaolou, stand in rows. No wonder so many foreign visitors stay for a dozen days or so to experience the life and study the culture here.
