Business Trip in Dongguan Doesn't Have to Be Boring: Exploring the Hidden Gems of Nancheng CBD

Arriving in Dongguan, I checked into the Landmark International Hotel, immediately struck by its extraordinary lobby ambiance that felt like stepping into an art gallery showcasing the city's CBD views. The outdoor pool offered refreshing dips, the gym was perfect for sweating it out, and the meticulous butler service along with welcoming sweet fruit desserts made the stay delightful. The hotel's dinner buffet was simply amazing—featuring a wide array of Chinese, Japanese, and Western cuisines, including lobster, foie gras, sashimi, and seafood. For dim sum, their signature dishes are a must-try. Personally, I believe dim sum isn't complete without steamed spare ribs—and here, they’re absolutely authentic👍. The ribs are steamed to a tender white, infused with fermented black bean and garlic flavors that seep into the bones. Served piping hot and paired with soft, fragrant taro underneath—this is the taste dim sum lovers crave. **Shrimp Wonton Noodles** Each plump wonton is stuffed with a whole fresh shrimp—so generous! The base features authentic Cantonese alkaline noodles, topped with a sprinkle of roe for extra aroma. Pouring the steaming hot broth over it at the table was pure perfection🥣. ✔️Steamed Chicken Feet in Soy Sauce ✔️Steamed Noodles with Spare Ribs and Pickled Vegetables ✔️Ginger-Vinegar Braised Pork Trotters with Eight Treasures ✔️Fragrant Portuguese Egg Tarts Every dish is a classic, with no disappointments. **Room Experience** I stayed in the Wellness Room, which stood out for its traditional Chinese herbal bath soak. A relaxing soak let the herbal fragrance melt away stress instantly. The floor-to-ceiling windows framed stunning views of the city’s greenery, adding tranquility and relaxation to the evenings. The 24-hour butler service attended to every detail, making me feel right at home. **Leisure Facilities** The hotel’s amenities were dazzling—gym, mahjong room, spa, and that photogenic outdoor pool, perfect for snapping Instagram-worthy shots!
