Guizhou’s Thousand Towers

This painting vividly captures the unique charm of the Dong villages in southeastern Guizhou. In the scene, the wooden stilt houses are arranged in a harmonious and orderly manner, built along the slopes of the mountains, layer upon layer, showcasing the rustic and intricate architecture of the Dong villages. The black tiled roofs contrast beautifully with the brown wooden structures, evoking a sense of the passage of time. Winding paths meander through the villages, occasionally crossed by Dong villagers going about their daily lives—working, chatting, or simply strolling—adding a vibrant touch of everyday life to the scene.
