Dongguan Things to Do

Haha, okay.. some people might say the food in China is pretty oily (I felt that initially) but some restaurants serve really delicious Chinese cuisine and you can easily spot different types of chinese cusine of different provinces in Dongguan. For example, you can restaurant selling Peking Duck and restaurant selling Jiangsu dishes all in the same street!

If you like spicy food, try the Hunan or Sichuan dishes which you can pretty easily find here.

Of course not to forget the Yue Cai -- Guangdong chinese cuisine which is the province you are in.

Additional info: usually, you can order their Qing Dao Beer or Heiniken in the restaurant. Red wine wise, they mostly serve their local product -- Great Wall.

Opposite the Sheraton Hotel in Houjie has stretches of streets with alot of shops and boutiques (not those high class but mid range ones) and of course alot of restaurants that sell really delicious food.

So one can start with dinner at 7pm and proceed to shopping with sports shop like NIKE and ADDIDAS, then you can settle at a foot reflexology centre. Sounds good isn't it? ^.^

You can experience some mountain climbing over here (however, it is relatively a small mountain) which will take up and down about 45 mins leisurely in total.

And for one like me that has never played with fire crackers before, this is the place when you could visit as there will be an area for one to light the fire crackers.

There is also parks for family and friends to walk around and you could also feed the fishes (there are alot and they are really beautiful) in the pond.

A very relax way to spend about 2 hours in this city on a late afternoon.

One of the most common activity in Dongguan is Foot Reflexology or what they called "Mu Zu" -- literally wash feet.

Operating hours is almost 20 hours and over everyday from what I know is, 8am till 4am daily. It is not difficult to find one in Dongguan.

The fees is around RMB35 for 70 minutes (less than USD5) with very relaxing foot massage that one is worth to try in Dongguan.

Some of my preferred parlours are along the Yin Feng Lu in Nancheng District, very near to The Silverland Hotel. You would not miss them as they have big signboards.
