Huayang Lake travel guide, my experience summary after many visits
[Opening]: Mayong Huayang Lake Wetland Park is located in Mayong Town, Dongguan City. It is a free park. Relying on the natural resources of Huayang Lake, the park is committed to protecting the wetland ecological environment while providing a place for tourists to get close to nature.
🕘【Opening Hours】: Free and open all year round, with no time limit.
💴【Ticket Price】: No tickets required.
⛺[Amusement Projects]: There are almost no commercial projects in the park. I saw a lot of four-wheeled bicycles for rent at the door. Many families came to play, and they rented four-wheeled bicycles to ride in the park. In addition, I see that most people come here to ride, view, camp, walk and take photos, and enjoy the tranquility and beauty of nature. Spring is the best time to come here, as all kinds of flowers are in bloom, which is perfect for taking pictures.
🚌[Transportation Guide]: Mayong Town is adjacent to Huangpu District, Guangzhou, and the geographical location is very close. Take Guangzhou Metro Line 5, get off at Wenchong Station and exit from Exit B, then transfer to Guang 369 Road, get off at "Mayong Market (Gumei Food Street)", and walk forward for 5 minutes to "Huayang" "Hu Maker Square" You will see at this time that this street is full of food, and this is a food street. Opposite the Maker Square is Huayang Lake. Of course, this mode of transportation is more time-consuming. The faster way to reach your destination is to take Guangzhou Metro Line 5 and get off at Xiagang Station, come out from Exit C, transfer to an online car-hailing service, and arrive at the "Huayang Lake Maker's Workshop" in about 15 minutes.
👉【Itinerary】: According to my experience of visiting here many times, I can tell you that a one-day trip is the best. Whether driving by yourself or taking a car, the purpose is to locate the "Huayang Lake Maker's Workshop". Please do not locate "Huayang Lake Wetland Park". It is not recommended that you go to the main entrance. If you are driving by yourself, you can park in the parking spaces designated on the roadside, of course for a fee. After entering Huayang Lake from the "Huayang Lake Maker's Workshop", you can keep playing and follow the instructions in the park to reach the main entrance of the "Huayang Lake Wetland Park". After arriving at the main entrance, you will see many shops in ancient buildings on the opposite road, and most of them may not be open. There is also a road in the middle of the store. When you cross this road, you will see a bridge. After crossing this bridge, this is the more ecological scenic spot of Huayang Lake. But many people don’t know this place and have never been there. . Because the main entrance of Huayang Lake Wetland Park is relatively deserted. More tourists will gather at the "Huayang Lake Maker's Square" because there is a food street there. According to my normal walking speed, I will completely visit the Huayang Lake Wetland Park and the ecological scenic spot opposite the main entrance of Huayang Lake. It took about 5 hours, and I would stop and take pictures while walking. If it is summer, this is also a good place to take pictures of lotus flowers.
🧡【Pre-departure preparation】: The degree of commercialization in the park is relatively low. No matter when you go, you must bring water. In summer, please bring toilet water, sunscreen and other supplies.
Every time I visit here, I always go to the food street in Huayang Lake Maker Square to eat. There are hundreds of restaurants and food shops here. After many attempts, the most recommended one is a grilled fish restaurant called "Yulaiyuwang". The fish is fresh, the portion is sufficient, and the price is not expensive. A portion of grilled fish and some side dishes can feed two people, and the consumption will not exceed 150 yuan. In terms of scenic spots, this price is not expensive.
The other thing is to go to Huayang Lake. If you see an aunt selling bananas near Huayang Lake, you can buy some. These are locally produced bananas and taste good. I buy a few kilograms every time I go there. It’s cheaper than buying it in fruit shops in Guangzhou and tastes better.

The most famous place in Machong is Zhongda Maker Space. At night, it is a very lively food street and a relatively mature business district
But it lacks a bit of the hustle and bustle of a big city. It's comfortable and free to walk around at night
🍽Dining Recommendations:
It is said that Machong's specialty is
Banana seaweed sweet soup, 5 per bowl
Well... how to say, the taste is acceptable

It's a good choice to come and play around Guangzhou for two days

Checked in at "Huayang Lake"
The scenery of Huayang Lake in Machong is widely recognized as beautiful. As a famous 5A tourist spot in Dongguan, it is very suitable for a visit. The natural landscape is full of vitality with lush plants and flowers, and the birdsong is delightful! The man-made landscapes are also rich and diverse, with planning and design that embody the characteristics of the Lingnan region. The park has many amusement facilities that cater to both young and old. The park is quite large, and there are paid tricycles and electric cars at the main entrance. If you are not accompanied by the elderly or children, it is recommended to take a leisurely walk and enjoy the pleasant scenery of the wetlands~~~

Dongguan Shuixiang Wetland Park, a good place for weekend parent-child trips
Huayang Lake Wetland Park, adjacent to the Pearl River Delta water system, with its unique geographical location and beautiful ecological environment, has become an important base for citizens' leisure and entertainment and ecological education.
The park is not lacking in unique modern facilities. Such as the water-friendly plank road twists and turns, leading visitors to feel the beauty of the wetland ecology at close range; Huayang Tower towers into the clouds, allowing people to appreciate the wetland panorama without any omission when they climb to see the distance. In addition, the park also regularly holds various cultural activities.
The place where fish ponds were everywhere in the past has been carefully planned and transformed, and it has now become a multifunctional park integrating ecological protection, science education, and tourism.

Huayang Lake, if you are in Dongguan, you must come here to watch a sunset. The location is very good, facing the sunset directly when you come out of the Maker Space. When the Huayang Tower lights up in the evening, coupled with the sunset glow, it is indeed quite good in Dongguan! Of course, if you want to go around the lake, you can rent a bicycle! It is currently the dragon boat race period in Dongguan, and there are many dragon boats practicing on Huayang Lake today!
