　　从邵阳市绥宁县向西南方行驶30余公里就来到了乐安铺苗族侗族乡大团村。侗族村民占大团村总人口的95%，全村352栋传统民族木屋保存完好。大团村的建筑是侗族地区常见的干栏式木楼，目前有侗族特色清代鼓楼2座、萨坛2座、款坪2个、古井2口、风雨桥2座、寨门2处、石板古道2条，可谓处处好事成双。

　　Driving over 30 km to the southwest from Suining County, Shaoyang, Hunan, we arrive at Datuan Village, Miao and Dong township. Dong villagers occupy 95% of the toal population of Datuan Village; 352 tradtional ethnic wooden houses in pile dwelling style are well-preserved in the village. Besides, there are 2 drum towers of the Qing Dynasty with characteristics of the Dong Minority, 2 Satan for offering sacrifices to gods or ancestors, 2 Kuan Ping, 2 anceint wells, 2 old bridges, 2 gates, 2 ancient flagstone paths, etc.

　　近些年，越来越多的人到这里旅游观光。大团村发展旅游业可和别处不一样，真正体现了“原生态”——这里没有旅馆和餐馆，你要来就住老乡家，你要吃就吃老乡家的特产。同吃同住同体验，在这里，你不是孤立在寨子外面的游客，你是实实在在的“当地人”。

　　In recent years, increasingly more tourists come here for sightseeing. In Datuan Village, tourists really enjoy the living status of the local residents, for there are no hotels or restaurants but original ecology here. Tourists live and eat with the local residents, experiencing real life of the local residents.
