2 miles away from Rongjiang, the village is famous by groups of
large old banyan trees.
There is a new high
drum tower and an old Sama temple in the village, during the first
lunar month, the Dong from nearby villages will get together here
celebrating the Sama festival. Sama is the Dong's former female
hero who died during the fight with another trible, and now became
the hero the Dong must worship during the Dong new year.

still have looms to weave cloth, and they can dye the cloth into
several colors. Some women have textiles for sale, and sometimes
they have good ones, maybe you may find from some them.
