Just got back from Dongguan and I'm blown away by the hidden gems of this "world factory"! Turns out, there's more to it than just assembly lines. You can enjoy hot springs, chase fireflies, and eat your way through three streets! Here's my 4-day itinerary for just 600 yuan per person. 🚲 Songshan Lake Cycling: Embrace the Greenery of Spring First up, Songshan Lake! Rent a shared bike and cycle 15 km along the lake. The reflections of the metasequoia trees are so perfect they look photoshopped. Take a detour to the abandoned railway bridge for some moody shots📸. Key tip: Go after 4pm. The sunset splits the lake into gold and green, turning it into a wallpaper-worthy scene! Hidden Gems: ✅ The litchi orchard at the north gate of Tongsha Ecological Park. You can "steal" (just kidding, it's picking) some litchis in May when they're in season. ✅ The old shipyard cafe in Diaoyuzhou Cultural and Creative Park. The ruined industrial vibe + hand-drip Mandheling coffee = photo magic. 🍜 Houjie Roasted Goose Rice Noodles: Carb Lover's Paradise I'd come back to Dongguan just for these noodles! The roasted goose at Yongli Restaurant has skin so crispy you can hear it crackle, and the goose oil broth is so flavorful it'll make your taste buds dance. Pair it with Hai Bi soda for the authentic Dongguan experience! Foodie Radar: ▪️ Daojiao Zongzi: Filled with salted egg yolk and dried scallops, the glutinous rice absorbs the meaty aroma and sticks to your lips. ▪️ Zhenhua Road Qilou Dessert Shops in Guancheng: Ginger milk curd with savory pancakes. A 15-yuan taste of century-old heritage. ▪️ Xiping Night Market Grilled Oysters: 10 yuan for 5 juicy oysters. The garlic chili sauce is so good you'll want to lick the shells. 🏯 Nanshe Ancient Village: Unleash Your Inner Drama Queen Forget crowded film sets! The wok-ear walls of Nanshe Ancient Village are endless photo ops. Rent a hanfu for 25 yuan and explore the maze-like alleys. You might even bump into a grandma drying sausages, feeling like you've stepped back in time. Tips: ❌ Avoid weekends when hanfu photo groups take over. Weekday mornings are best for photos. ✅ Chat with the grandpa selling olives at the ancestral hall entrance to discover the location of a century-old well. 🌿 Yuehui Garden Night Tour: 100 Times More Stunning Than Daytime I almost missed this Lingnan garden gem! At 7pm, the lights illuminate the pavilions and towers, casting reflections on the water like a crystal palace. Wearing a white dress on the Nine-Turn Bridge, my friend exclaimed, "A fairy has descended!"✨ Hidden Gems: ✅ Eavesdrop on a tour group's free explanation to learn that the stone piers in the carp pond are from the Ming Dynasty. ✅ The litchi wood roasted chicken at the east gate exit is crispy, tender, and juicy. 🛏 Accommodation Hack: Stay in a Water-Ink Painting for 80 Yuan per Person Highly recommend guesthouses near Keyuan Garden! We stayed at "Qinghe Xiaozhu," where the view from our window was a picturesque scene of white walls and black tiles. The rooftop offers a panoramic view of Keyuan, saving you the entrance fee. Plus, it's close to everything. A 10-minute e-bike ride takes you to Zhenhua Road for street food and late-night snacks. 🌟 Summary: The Right Way to Experience Dongguan Chasing light and shadows at Songshan Lake, chatting with a grandma drying sausages in Nanshe Ancient Village, and tearing up from the spicy ginger milk curd at a late-night dessert shop – this is the real Dongguan, not the stereotypical factory city!

Our first stop was Yuehui Garden, which is said to be the largest garden in the Lingnan region. It was really impressive. The garden is so big that you can easily get lost! And it's very quiet, with hardly anyone around. The scenery throughout the garden is exquisite, and it feels like it must have been used for filming many movies and TV shows. There are many places that are particularly suitable for taking photos in Hanfu. The clothes are so elegant, and the photos look like they're from a blockbuster movie 📸. However, the weather was a bit disappointing. It suddenly got cold, and I was shivering. I didn't feel like stopping to take photos. I could only hurriedly walk around and leave. Then we went to a nearby soup restaurant for lunch. The taste was actually quite ordinary, and there was nothing particularly impressive. It might be because we had just experienced a sudden drop in temperature, and our appetite was not that big. After lunch, we hurriedly set off for the next stop. After lunch, we headed to Pinghai Ancient City. This place is actually an ancient village, but now it has been fenced off and turned into a scenic area. Although it's not big, there are many ancestral halls and historical sites, which are quite interesting. After learning about the background of this village, I realized that the people of Guangdong really value the continuation and inheritance of their ancestors. Taking photos in the winding alleys is very exciting. Although the place is not big, we stayed there for more than two hours, and it felt like we were traveling through history. Then we hurried out of the ancient city and headed straight to Huizhou. When we arrived in Huizhou, we first went to the night market, but we were a little disappointed. It might be because we didn't find the right place, or because the things in the night market didn't impress us. After a simple local snack, we went back to the hotel to rest. On the way back to the hotel, we made a special trip to see their Swan Bridge. Under the night lights, the Swan Bridge is really beautiful, giving a sense of tranquility and romance. This is really a good place for couples to check in, and the photos are amazing 📷. After a night's rest, we went to the largest scenic area in Huizhou - West Lake. Don't be mistaken, this West Lake is not the famous West Lake in Hangzhou. The West Lake in Huizhou is also surprisingly large, and there are many scenic spots, such as Dongpo Academy, Sizhou Tower, Nine-Bend Bridge, and Yuanmiao Temple. Each place has a different history and story. After walking for a long time, my feet started to ache. It was really a walking mode, not suitable for people who don't like to walk for a long time. However, the scenic spots are still worth a visit, especially at night to see the lights. The night scene is really beautiful. In general, although these few days were a bit tiring, I saw many different landscapes, and I felt that each place was quite unique. I recommend everyone to come here to play, but be sure to bring a good mood and be prepared to walk! "
