Not in Europe! Shenzhen 1h direct to Huawei Town architecture
Regret not coming earlier! Dongguan Songshan Lake!
I always thought that I had to enter the park to see these European buildings🏠 I didn’t expect to see them in the scenic area!!
🅿️Parking: Navigate to Songshan Lake Misty Rain Parking Lot
🚴♀️Rent a bike: Double 80 a day Deposit 400💰
1️⃣Charles Bridge: A few minutes to the left from the bike rental place, you can take beautiful photos. Isn't it really Downton Manor?
It's 20km around the lake. If you ride and stop to take pictures, it is recommended to reserve a day.
If you are specifically for punching✅ friends, you can also not rent a bike. Because I am weaker and casually took pictures of the bridge area, I rode forward for half an hour without seeing other very eye-catching buildings, so I just turned around and went back.
2️⃣Kangqiao Train🚂: Navigate to the M area of Xiliubeipo Village, and you will see it (only 4.6km from Charles Bridge). There is a small train every few minutes. Don't take too many pictures!!
There are also many small stalls selling water and food in the scenic area, but they all look unappetizing. It is recommended to bring some food. ⛺️

This is the live scene of Songshan Lake in Dongguan
#asiatrip
It really can't be Europe, this is the live scene of Songshan Lake in Dongguan, which is very similar to the scene in Xu Zhimo's "Farewell to Kangqiao". "The bright shadows in the waves ripple in my heart," holding a long pole and tracing back to the greener green grass. "I rarely take photos with my phone, but the vitality brought by the live scene at this moment is really fragrant. The Huawei European Town in Dongguan is under the blue sky and blank clouds. All the photos are taken on the periphery, without entering the interior. The small train is at the Songhu Smoke and Rain Parking Lot Bridge Station in Kangpu Songshan Lake Scenic Area

Dongguan Songshan Lake | Let’s take an aerobic ride Dongguan Songshan Lake Scenic Area·Songhu Misty Rain
Cycling time: Cycling around the lake, about 1.5 hours

Not abroad, but in China, 10 billion RMB was invested to build a European town!
Great! Not abroad, it's in China! Moreover, this is Dongguan
This is Dongguan Huawei's European Town!
You can't just enter here; you need a Huawei employee to make a reservation (you can only reserve twice a year), or you have to wait for the annual Huawei Developer Conference (the 2024 one is about to open, from June 21 to June 23, and tickets can be snatched again on May 9. If you're interested, I can continue to write in detail about the reservation and buying guide)
Although you can't enter the European Town at will, walking around the Songshan Lake scenic area and taking photos is already enough for a great shot! Huawei's European-style castle is really beautiful! Even though it's raining, the photos turn out well
Dongguan Songshan Lake University Road intersection parking lot
Navigate here to park, and you can also rent bicycles and electric vehicles to go in and play. If you have enough time, it's indeed worth renting, as it's really big inside. There were so many people during the May Day holiday, and almost everyone on the road was riding bicycles and electric vehicles.
You can almost take European-style photos every few steps
The grasslands around Songshan Lake are lush green after the rain, the air is so fresh, and many people are camping, picnicking, and fishing.
If you want to take photos of the red vintage train, you can only navigate to Kangqiao (bus station). You can't walk there from the university road intersection; it's too far, and the last train is at 18:00. It also takes more than 20 minutes to drive there~ So I didn't get to take photos of the train this time, what a pity!
A little photography tip!!!
Everyone thought that this set of pictures was taken with a Fuji camera, but it's not at all!!! I didn't bring a camera on this trip, I used the Dazz camera app! The results exceeded expectations, and it can zoom up to 3 times (over 77 focal length), really useful!

I absolutely love this romantic lake circuit, just 1h from Shenzhen
🌈 A perfect spot in Dongguan for a spring outing, it's like a picturesque European town. I've discovered an incredibly beautiful wetland park in Dongguan
🕹 The scenery of Songshan Lake is misty and enchanting, making the Songshan Lake Scenic Area
🏃 not only exceptionally fresh in air
But also every snapshot looks like a painting, super photogenic~
The European town makes one feel as if they're abroad
💁 It's especially suitable for those who like cycling, camping, running, and want to take beautiful
photos!
🌵 The park is quite large, with many means of transportation available for rent at the entrance. We three rented an electric car (s40/h) and a tandem bicycle (80/h), and it was particularly comfortable to ride and enjoy the scenery~

Dongguan, Songshan Lake cycling
If you are coming to Dongguan, I recommend you not to miss here, the European town built by Huawei with 10 billion yuan, the European-style buildings along the way, and the small train, every time I come here, I feel like I am on vacation abroad.
Today, I will share 4️⃣ best routes for playing and taking pictures in Songshan Lake. I hope you can come and see when you have time. (The whole process is shot outside, without entering the interior, no appointment is required)
✅Tour route
1️⃣ Location: Songhu Yan Yu - University Road parking lot entrance and exit
Rent a bicycle for 30 yuan next to the parking lot, start cycling around the lake on the left, and you can see all the sights such as the European castle, kapok, sunset by the lake, and the small train. (The whole journey is 22 kilometers, suitable for all-day play)
2️⃣Location: Golden Trumpet Tree Forest
Although the flowering period of the 200-acre golden trumpet tree has passed, the kapok inside is in full bloom. After entering the park, you can enjoy the kapok flower sea along the left side, and you can also camp and picnic under the flower sea and by the lake, which is simply too comfortable~
3️⃣Location: Songhu Yan Yu - The original entrance and exit of the water side
My favorite check-in route, walk in the direction of Kangqiao (less than three kilometers), not only can you take pictures of the castle and the train at the entrance of the bridge, but the route is also a castle on one side and a forest flower sea on the other, just like a real fairy tale world.
4️⃣Huawei Creek Backslope Village Kangqiao
You must come here to watch the sunset (around five in the afternoon), the European-style buildings and the small train driving on the bridge are really a big shot at random, full of European holiday atmosphere, it looks good no matter how you shoot.
🎫Ticket: Free
