In this vibrant season of spring, my boyfriend and I decided to embark on a spontaneous trip to Sanjiang Dong Autonomous County in Guangxi. This place is not only rich in ethnic minority culture, but also has breathtaking natural scenery that will make you want to stay longer. The thought of strolling through this ancient and mysterious town fills me with excitement. 🌟 The view from the window is like a painting We chose to stay at the Jiangjin Hotel (Sanjiang Dong Autonomous County Wind and Rain Bridge Branch), which is located on Moon Street. As soon as you open the window, you can see the winding river and the mountains in the distance. Waking up in the morning, the sunlight shines through the curtains and onto your face, like a gentle embrace from nature. Each room here has a different view, and our room faces the river. When night falls, the lights along the river reflect on the water, making it breathtakingly beautiful. 🌸 Comfortable beds for sweet dreams As soon as I entered the room, the soft, large bed attracted all my attention. Lying on it, I felt my whole body being gently enveloped, and the fatigue instantly disappeared. The pillows and bedding are made of high-quality materials, ensuring a good night's sleep. The next day, I woke up refreshed and ready to embrace a new day of exploration. 🍵 Authentic oil tea to awaken your taste buds The hotel's breakfast features authentic Dong flavors, especially the oil tea, which is rich and not greasy.

The staff will explain the characteristics of each dish in detail, allowing us to learn more about the local food culture while enjoying the delicious food. 📸 Photo opportunities galore In addition to the beautiful scenery in the rooms, the hotel itself is a huge photo studio. The floor-to-ceiling windows at the end of the corridor, the vintage decorative picture frames, and even the green plants at the corner of the stairs are all great backdrops for taking photos. We walked through almost every corner of the hotel and took many satisfactory photos. The Sanjiang Jiangjin Hotel is not only a place to rest, but also a rare experience during your trip.

There are several theories about the ancient well in Zhanli Village: this is a mystery 1. Gender Determination Theory: Legend has it that there are two mysterious ancient wells in Zhanli Village, one is called the male well and the other is the female well. There is a saying in the village that if young people drink water from the male well before giving birth, they can have a boy, and if they drink water from the female well, they can have a girl. And if you want to absolutely guarantee the birth of a boy or a girl, it is not enough to just drink well water, you must also take the "flower-changing grass" prepared by the "pharmacist" in the village. Of course, there is no scientific basis to prove this statement. 2. Historical and Cultural Symbol Theory: The ancient well is a part of the history and culture of Zhanli Village and has witnessed the development and changes of the village. Zhanli Village has a unique population culture and fertility concept. To a certain extent, the ancient well also carries the villagers' inheritance and belief in fertility culture and is a symbol of the unique culture of Zhanli Village. 3. Water Source Importance Theory: Regardless of the legend, the ancient well provides an important source of domestic water for the villagers of Zhanli Village and plays a vital role in the daily life of the villagers in the past and now. The water from these two ancient wells is used by the villagers for drinking, cooking, washing, etc., and is an indispensable part of the villagers' survival and life. In general, various theories about the ancient well in Zhanli Village have a certain mysterious color and cultural connotation, but from a scientific point of view, the birth of boys and girls is determined by the natural biological inheritance law and has nothing to do with the water of the ancient well. These statements are more of a cultural phenomenon and folklore.
