Zhaoxing Dong Village, known as the "No. 1 Dong Village in the World", is surrounded by mountains. The village is built in a basin in the mountains, with a small river passing through the village. There are row upon row of stilted buildings in the village, and the most famous ones are the five drum towers, the five stages and the five wind and rain bridges. Zhaoxing Dong Village consists of three natural villages, Shangzhai, Zhongzhai and Xiazhai, with a compact layout and structure, forming a complete village. It is said that Zhaoxing developed from the Lu clan, so here are all Dong people with the Lu surname, and very few people have foreign surnames. The Lu surname is divided into five major clans and twelve clans, which are divided into five natural areas. Each of them is called the benevolent group, the righteous group, the ritual group, the wise group, and the letter group. The fifth regiment has five drum towers, five flower bridges and five stages. The five drum towers have different appearances, heights, sizes and styles, making them a magnificent sight. The five clans in Zhaoxing take the Drum Tower as their symbol, and they live together around the Drum Tower, thus forming five Drum Tower areas, each named after "Benevolence, Righteousness, Properity, Wisdom, and Faith".
Renzhai Drum Tower: seven eaves and octagonal spire.
Yi Zhai Drum Tower: Eleven double eaves and octagonal spire.
Lizhai Drum Tower: Thirteen eaves and octagonal spire.
Zhizhai Drum Tower: on the top of the mountain with nine double eaves and octagonal eaves.
