Dong villages
When visiting the bridges of Sanjiang, explore the nearby Dong villages to view their fascinating drum towers and water wheels. Almost all Dong villages have a tall, multi-tiered drum tower. It houses a hanging drum that is beaten to alert villagers about emergencies and community meetings. Some drum towers reach higher than a three story building. Many Dong village areas have large, creaking, entrancing water wheels for irrigation.
