Day 1 Nanshe Ancient Village of Ming and Qing Dynasties -> Yinxian Villa
Day 2 Guanyinshan Tourist Scenic Area

One of the Pearl River Delta's remarkable Ming and Qing architectural and cultural sites is the Nanshe Ancient Village. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Nanshe Ancient Village produced a large number of talented individuals who passed the imperial exams. Here are still several intact structures and carved cultural artifacts of exceptional artistic significance. Among these, the Xie Clan Ancestral Hall, which has a typical three-bay and three-courtyard plan, and the old walls of the woodcutters' tower, which are constructed of rammed earth and red stone as the foundation, are also noteworthy structures that are well worth seeing.

Address: No. 20, Xifu Lane, Chashan Town, Dongguan City, Guangdong Province

Stepping into the ancient village of Nanshe from the Ming and Qing Dynasties is like traveling through time. The bluestone road winds forward, with ancestral halls and ancient houses lined up one after another, and the carved beams and painted buildings reveal the ancient charm accumulated over the years. The upturned corners and flying eaves tell of the prosperity of the past. The exquisite craftsmanship of the details such as plaster sculpture and wood carving makes people marvel at the ingenuity of the ancients. The village is surrounded by clear water and swaying willows, which contrast beautifully with the white walls and black tiles, like an ink painting. Wandering around and listening to the guide telling family stories and historical legends, you can truly feel the profound heritage of Lingnan culture, as if you can touch the breath of the past. It makes people intoxicated by this tranquil and distant ancient charm and reluctant to leave.



Enjoy the day and night at Yinxian Happy Gathering. You don’t have to travel far to enjoy a good scenic spot, just visit one!

Covering more than 500 acres and including a variety of activities like tourist, lodging, and catering, Dongguan Yinxian Villa is situated in Changping Town, Dongguan City, Guangdong Province. The picturesque region boasts a rich cultural legacy, stunning mountains and rivers, and easy access to transportation. It is the first learning hotel in Guangdong Province, a highly anticipated tourist destination in Guangdong, the first batch of recuperation bases for technical workers in Guangdong Province, a research and study base for primary and secondary school students in Guangdong Province, a designated venue for party and government agency meetings in Dongguan City, a nominee for the Dongguan Municipal Government Quality Award, and a national 4A-level tourist attraction.

Li Juesi, the late Ming Dynasty's Minister of Justice, lived in solitude at Yinxian Villa, which bears his name. It has abundant, varied, and extremely valuable historical and cultural riches. One of the most unique tourist locations in the Greater Bay Area, the picturesque location has "eight themes, six shows, and one ticket for all day and night pleasure."

The 3D glass bridge, the biological zoo, the dinosaur valley, the water park, the flower sea, the St. Petersburg Snow Park, the Happy Valley Park, and the "Butterfly Lovers" fireworks show are among the eight themes that make up the picturesque region. It will incorporate a musical element into the entertainment and has six theaters: the Happy Stage, the Ocean Theater, the Water Park Stage, the Snow Square Stage, the Lake Stage, and the Caribbean Stage.

The "Fox Demon of the Conferred Gods" theater, the nation's first immersive experience, recreates the turbulent days of the capital. You can visit Chaoge, see the Conferred Gods, and hear the heartbreaking tale of King Zhou and the fox demon on the ancient ruins.

If you go there on May Day, you must exchange paper receipts, otherwise the activities you play cannot be verified. The environment of the scenic area is good, quite clean, the staff are polite, and the service is good. The scenery is average during the day, and it is more beautiful at night. It is recommended to go in the afternoon or evening. However, if you want to play activities, it is recommended to go earlier in the morning when there are fewer people and basically no need to queue. After 3 pm, there will be a lot of people. Many projects have long waiting lists. I bought the full package and went with my family. There are many projects that children are not allowed to play because they are not high enough and are quite dangerous. There are very few motorized projects for children to play. There are so many people at night, watching performances, light shows, and other things, you can basically play all day long. Overall it's okay, it's worth recommending.


Located in Zhangmutou Town, Dongguan City, close to Shenzhen and Huizhou, is Guanyinshan Forest Park. The vast park is a wonderful spot for prayer and sightseeing. This place has a lot of waterfalls, lush trees, clean air, and stunning landscape. In the picturesque location, there is also a 33-meter-tall Guanyin Bodhisattva basalt statue. It is not to be missed; it is beautifully sculpted. Guanyin Square offers a view of Zhangmutou Town's landscape as well as distant views of Huizhou, Shenzhen, and Dongguan. It's a nice spot to see the cityscape.

You have to come to Guanyin Mountain to see Guanyin Bodhisattva🥰🥰📍It was the winter solstice at Guanyin Mountain in Zhangmutou Town, Dongguan. I brought my mother to Guanyin Mountain to worship Guanyin Bodhisattva, hoping that my relatives around me would be healthy, safe and make a lot of money smoothly [Like R][Like R] Self-driving parking lot🅿️Drive directly inside and park. Parking outside is charged. There are many parking spaces inside where you can park freely. Tickets + round-trip journey-Douyin Meituan group purchase, a total of 105 per person, 45 tickets, 30 yuan for round trip [Like R] Although there is a car to take you back and forth, there is still 800 meters to walk after getting off the car. The journey is very steep and it is very strenuous to walk. The last colored stairs are especially good for exercising. I haven't exercised much, and my eyes went black when I climbed up [Laughing and crying R][Laughing and crying R][Laughing and crying R]
