I've lived and worked in Dongguan for three years, and I'm going to visit Dongguan in summer. At this time, when I go out to play in this weather, I still have to choose a cool place to escape the summer. I strongly recommend you to go to Shuilianshan Forest Park and Qifeng Park.
Shuilian Mountain Forest Park
Shuilian Mountain Forest Park is the most popular summer resort for Dongguan people. If you want to find a quiet park not too far away in the tense urban life, it is right to come here. The scenery along the way is definitely worth it-Shuilian Cave, Shuilian Waterfall, Mengxi Tansheng, Tianchi and Xishan Temple, each with a different view, and you can also overlook the bustling urban area of Dongguan after reaching the summit.
Basic information
Tickets: Tickets are free, and there is no charge for all scenic spots, but the amusement facilities in the park are charged. There are sightseeing trams where lighters are stored, which costs 1 yuan for one person. The parking lot is 2 hours, and the tickets for 1 yuan, 3 yuan and Butterfly Valley are 2 yuan.

2. Bike. Cycling is also a good choice. You can rent one and ride in the mountains and rivers. It is a good choice.

There are springs on the mountain, and the water is clear and sweet; There is an ancient cave temple, which is large in scale and well preserved. The historical and cultural heritage is profound, including the ruins of ancient temples in Song Dynasty and Ming Dynasty, and the campsite of Dongjiang column. In the past, Peng Gong was a monk here, and many poems of praise were left by literati, among which Zuo Shilang, a ceremonial assistant in Ming Dynasty, and Chen Lian, a bridgehead person in Houjie, praised it as "Little Penglai outside the city".

The trees on the mountain are shaded, the flowers and plants are lush, and the pine sounds help cool. Climb to the top of the mountain, overlooking downtown, Houjie, Humen and Daling Mountain.

Qifeng Park
The first of the eight scenic spots is the "blessed land of Dongguan". After work, people who want to take a cool ride, climb mountains, sweat and detoxify, mostly choose Qifeng Park, because Huangqi Mountain in the park is only 189 meters above sea level, which is not high, but it is enough to exercise.
