[2025 Dongguan Attraction] Travel Guide for Houjie (Updated May)

🛑 Dongguan adventure record | Heavy rain and strong sun hit me, and I had to remind my sister of the key points on the blackboard overnight when I got back! (I imagined a leisurely trip in Lingnan, but in reality I was carried by mosquitoes at Gongnong No. 8…🦟) 🌞 The ultimate secret of sun protection Don’t ask why I got three degrees darker even with sunscreen spray—— ▫️ It is recommended to go cycling in Songshan Lake in the early morning or evening, and you can fry eggs on the asphalt road at noon🥵 ▫️ It is coolest under the century-old banyan tree in Keyuan Museum, but be careful of bird droppings (don’t ask me how I know) ▫️ The best time to take photos at Shuilianshan Waterfall is 4 pm. Remember to put a fever-reducing patch on your phone to prevent overheating and shutting down 💡 Tips from the indigenous people ✅ Wear a mosquito repellent bracelet for night photography in Xiabafang! The mosquitoes in the alley can form a symphony orchestra ✅ Bring a small fan to watch the sunset at Humen Fort, the stone steps are as hot as acupressure pads ✅ Wear trekking shoes when trekking in Yinping Mountain, the way you slip on the cobblestones is enough to edit 10 episodes of "Boys and Girls Go Forward" 🍢 The survival rules of late-night snack stalls Carbohydrate bombs that can't be resisted even with stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets💥 🔥 Beef offal on Zhenhua Road, Wancheng: The secret hot sauce that grandma has sold for 30 years, so spicy that tears and snot fly, and you have to buy more radishes 🔥 Houjie roast goose rice noodles: The ultimate experience of crispy skin and tender meat, it is recommended to avoid white shirts - grease splash warning! 🔥 Daojiao Steamed Rice Dumpling: The deluxe version with egg yolk and scallop must be ordered three days in advance. When unpacking the rice dumpling leaves, it feels like unpacking Hermès packaging. ⚠️ I paid the tuition fees first ▪️ Don’t buy the internet-famous bean curd soup in scenic spots! The uncle on the tricycle by the canal is the first generation of Internet celebrities ▪️ For Tangxia goose, go to the food stalls. Some stores in shopping malls stew goose meat to the texture of an eraser ▪️ For Dalang lychees, try the "glutinous rice cake" variety, but don't pick and eat them in the orchard - warning of excessive insect content 🚴 Traffic の 36 Strategies of War It is recommended to read "On Contradiction" when taking a taxi in Dongguan ⚠️ Calling a taxi during the evening rush hour at the China World Trade Center? Why not take the subway to Hongfu Road Station Exit F? You can also take photos of the "Eye of Dongguan" along the way. ⚠️ Don't wait for the bus to Songshan Lake! Renting an electric car is 10 times more free than a sightseeing bus (remember to check the battery level) ⚠️ The town bus is like an escape room. I once took the wrong bus to Chashan Town and accidentally discovered a super ginger tofu pudding stall 📸 Industrial style film metaphysics I didn't expect it! : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :

|There is such an ancient temple in this park: Dongguan Houjie Haiyueyan Ancient Temple 1. I have been to Haiyue Park several times before, but I have never been to this temple. Today I went in and took a look, and there was a different world. There are not many people going on weekdays, and the space in the temple is relatively open. There is a cave in the deepest part, which gives people a solemn and mysterious feeling. 2. There are usually quite a lot of people in Haiyue Park, and many elderly people will chat and play chess here, and some people will exercise, walk their children and dogs. If you have nothing to do, you can bring three or five friends to picnic here. There is a large lawn here, and parking is also convenient.

It's so troublesome to apply for a phone number in the Mainland🥹🥹
