Zhaoxing Dong Village, located in Liping County, Qiandongnan Prefecture, Guizhou Province, is the largest Dong village in the world and the center of Dong folk culture. By 2012, there were more than 1,100 households with more than 6,000 people. Zhaoxing Dong Village is surrounded by mountains on all sides. The village was built in a basin in the mountains, and two small streams merged into a small river to pass through the village. The houses in the village are stilted buildings with stilts, row upon row, well-proportioned, all built with Chinese fir, and covered with small green tiles on the hard hilltop, which is simple and practical. The Zhaoxing Dong Village is divided into internal surnames and external surnames, and external surnames are all Dong people with Lu surnames. They are divided into five major houses and live in five natural areas, which are called "tuan" locally. It is divided into five groups: benevolence group, righteous group, ritual group, intellectual group and letter group.
