It's not bad, you can go and have a look, but it's not big, I finished it in less than an hour. It should be better to go during the day, some shops are closed at night. There are performances and singing at night, and the parking lot there is a bit tight, so be careful.
Stepping into the ancient village of Nanshe from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it feels like traveling through time and space. The bluestone road winds forward, with ancestral halls and ancient houses lined up one after another, and the carved beams and painted buildings show the simple charm of the years. The upturned corners and flying eaves tell the prosperity of the past, and the details of gray sculptures, wood carvings, etc. are exquisitely crafted, which makes people marvel at the ingenuity of the ancients. The village is surrounded by clear water, weeping willows, and the white walls and black tiles are set off, just like an ink painting. Strolling around, 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 atmosphere of fireworks in the past, and you will be intoxicated by this quiet and distant ancient charm and reluctant to leave.

Dongguan Xiang City Zoo is a good place full of fun and educational significance. The park is full of greenery, beautiful environment and fresh air, creating a good living environment for the animals. Animals are diverse, with more than 100 species and more than 2,000 wildlife, from the sloppy giant panda to the majestic tiger, from the elegant giraffe to the smart monkey, each one is full of vitality. The two animal performance venues have a wonderful program, sea lion top jump, elephant and monkey cute performances, plus thrilling acrobatics, people are dazzled. In addition, the layout of the park is reasonable, the signs are clear, there are many mobile game projects, and the tickets are cost-effective. The staff is warm and thoughtful and can provide intimate service. Whether it is a parent-child trip, a couple date or a friend trip, you can spend a happy and unforgettable time here, it is worth a visit.
I feel that all the animals that should be there are there, and all the animals that I want to see are there. It's very relaxing to play, and the air is good. In addition, there are not many people when I go there, so it's not crowded to play. I strongly recommend the small train, and the experience of sitting on it is great~
