Zhaoxing Dong Village (肇兴侗) in Qiandongnan, Guizhou is famous for its architecture, primarily its 5 drum towers. The five drum towers are named after 5 primary Chinese virtues: wisdom, trust, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy. Other famed examples of architecture here include the Wind and Rain Bridges. Zhaoxing Dong is a one of a kind place and definitely worth a visit. It's ranked #43 in my "Ultimate Chinese Ancient Town Rankings linked here:
