2024 Dongguan Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in December)
Dongguan is located in the Pearl River Delta, very close to Hong Kong. It is a famous hometown for overseas ethnic Chinese. Dongguan has several ancient monuments. The Ke Garden is one of the four great gardens of the Qing Dynasty. There is also the expansive Yuehui Garden, as well as the Nanshe Ming and Qing Dynasty Ancient Village. Once upon a time, Humen Town was an important place. In 1839, at the beginning of the First Opium War, Lin Zexu supervised the destruction of large quantities of seized opium. Today, the Opium War Museum, the Sea Battle Museum, ancient cannonades and historic battlefield sites are located here. Songshan Lake is Dongguan's high technology industrial center. Songshan Lake Park is a place where you can enjoy the natural landscape by riding a bike around the lake. The ocean of flowers and the lakeside landscape are beautiful. There is also a spot where locals can be seen fishing. Xiabeifang in Batou Village is a good place to relax. The combination of modern creativity and old towns is excellent. There are many small shops and boutiques if you like to go window shopping as you walk.

Banyan Tree Dongguan Songshan Lake: A luxurious vacation destination surrounded by lakes and mountains.
On the eve of the National Day Golden Week, I drove to Dongguan Songshan Lake again after half a year, and visited this real-life painting of mountains and rivers, people and water, and city and water, and became a "Songhu person" for two days.
When I stayed in Songshan Lake, I still chose Banyan Tree Dongguan Songshan Lake. In the spring of this year, shortly after the opening of Banyan Tree Dongguan Songshan Lake, I took the lead in experiencing the excellent charm of the perfect combination of art and architectural aesthetics of this Banyan Tree hotel. This time, half a year later, I revisited Songshan Lake Banyan Tree. The reunion was like the first sight, and I felt more familiar and familiar. At the same time, I felt that she added a bit of maturity and elegance.
As the first Banyan Tree in Guangdong Province, Banyan Tree Dongguan Songshan Lake Hotel also adheres to the romantic genes of the Banyan Group's "place of refuge", located in the hinterland of Lingnan, embedded in the green hills and green lakes, enjoying the tranquility and indifference of the lakeside, and creating a fascinating vacation time from the inside out.
It is said that the highest state of a resort hotel is "the hotel is the destination". Undoubtedly, Banyan Tree Dongguan Songshan Lake Hotel has done it. Since the last encounter with it, what has been lingering in my heart is like this "light and shadow dream", which is unforgettable and has become my destination for revisiting.
The top architectural design teams such as GAD, BLINK, PLA, and Shimi Katou Garden, etc., have created Songshan Lake Banyan Tree into an "old dream of Lingnan". The aesthetics of Lingnan courtyard are fully displayed here.
Driving to Banyan Tree Dongguan Songshan Lake is like stepping into a quiet oasis in the city. The sense of belonging and seclusion given by this Songhu secret realm is indescribable.
Here is the daylight courtyard, the breeze flows, the tree shadows sway, the hollow landscape wall presents the interpretation of light and shadow of Lingnan architecture, we meet with the hotel here, feel the change of the day and the year. Whether in the lobby, in the daily court, or in the Baiyun courtyard, etc., the indoor and outdoor spaces are designed with subtraction, open and minimalist, cleverly using daylight as a "natural painter", the light and shadow gather and change at different times, so that people can't help but stop and appreciate and keep taking pictures. In addition, you can also enjoy the scenery by boating on the lake and enjoy the beauty of Songshan Lake Banyan Tree in all directions.
Songshan Lake Banyan Tree has a total of 141 rooms and suites and 18 luxury villas. I stayed in a superior mountain view room this time, with an area of 70 square meters. The room space layout is reasonable, and the room, washroom, cloakroom and oversized bubble pool balcony are all available. The design is low-luxury and elegant, and the style is warm and comfortable.
There are also 24-hour fitness centers, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, and award-winning Banyan Tree Spa, etc., to let guests experience a full sense of vacation relaxation.
After more than half a year of precipitation and polishing, I feel that the environment of Songshan Lake Banyan Tree is more beautiful now. If you pursue a high-quality vacation, find a time to come to a "Songhu Banyan Tree" appointment!

Tangxia Suning Hilltop Hot Spring Hotel
Located at No. 10 Yingbin Avenue, Tangxia Town
Near the border of Shenzhen
Great environment, strong vacation vibe
The hotel has excellent recreational facilities
This time we stayed in a poolside room (as long as it says 'poolside', it means direct access to the swimming lane)
The room is 40 square meters
One large bed (1.8 meters), one single bed (1 meter), and a balcony
The room is not big, but the selling point is that you can step out onto the balcony and directly into the pool
Each room can add an extra bed, the extra bed fee is ¥480 including breakfast and hot spring tickets
Hotel facilities:
Hot springs, swimming pool, swimming lane, water park, indoor children's area, go-karts, family bicycles...
You don't need to go out from the room, just jump into the swimming lane from the balcony, and you can swim to the pool, water park, and hot spring area
The hotel can arrange shuttle cars to each park area
Played for three days and two nights, still reluctant to leave!
A little secret, the normal deluxe poolside rooms only have one large bed or two double beds. If you want a large bed and a single bed instead of an extra bed, call the hotel to make a note after booking. Be sure to make a note because there are only a few rooms of this type in the entire hotel!
It's not abroad! It's Huawei European Town in Songshan Lake.
I quit my job almost a year ago and haven't accomplished anything. While searching for answers, I decided to see the world. No need to go to Europe, just visit Dongguan and experience a fairytale-like European town vacation.
If you're visiting Dongguan for the first time, I recommend these 2️⃣ places, both free and without reservation (advance reservation required for Huawei internal visit). The scenery in this article can be enjoyed without entering the park.
Sunny days are more photogenic, but we went on a cloudy day and still got great photos without the sun being too harsh.

🚄 Intercity Rail: Songshan Lake North Station → Songshan Lake Scenic Area University Road Exit (taxi)

Cycling along the lake, the scenery is everywhere, and every shot is a masterpiece. Stop and go, it's so comfortable! Self-driving is more convenient for families with children. Bring food and water, find a place to camp, and enjoy the European town's tranquility all day long.
Bike rental: Available at the park entrance
Tips: No restaurants in the scenic area, bring your own or eat outside (mobile shopping points available in the park)
2️⃣ Huawei Kangqiao Miniature Train
Transportation: Self-driving or taxi (navigation location: Kangqiao Bus Stop), go to Huawei Xiliu Beipeng Village to see the Kangqiao Miniature Train (about every 5 minutes), Huawei employee commuting vehicle, retro Swiss miniature train. When the miniature train runs through Kangqiao, take a photo here, it really feels like you're in a European town!

If you are specifically for punching✅ friends, you can also not rent a bike. Because I am weaker and casually took pictures of the bridge area, I rode forward for half an hour without seeing other very eye-catching buildings, so I just turned around and went back.
2️⃣Kangqiao Train🚂: Navigate to the M area of Xiliubeipo Village, and you will see it (only 4.6km from Charles Bridge). There is a small train every few minutes. Don't take too many pictures!!
There are also many small stalls selling water and food in the scenic area, but they all look unappetizing. It is recommended to bring some food. ⛺️

Here, I felt Huawei's innovative atmosphere and corporate culture. On Huawei Family Day, many parents and children participated in activities together, with constant laughter, making me feel the warmth and humanity of Huawei. 👨👩👧👦
Although the weather today is a bit cold and the wind is a bit strong, my enthusiasm has not been affected at all. 🌬️ In this beautiful place, time seems to pass particularly fast, and half a day has passed in a blink of an eye. 🕰️
If I have the chance, I will definitely come again, spend a whole day, and slowly taste the beautiful scenery and culture here. 🏰
