Dongguan is little known, but it's a comfortable ancient village to escape the world

The endless fields, the sleeping ancient buildings, the villagers are simple and friendly, the ancient trees at the entrance of the village quietly guard the traces of the years, the mottled marks on the wall and the deep breath in the alley... quiet and beautiful. 😌 Dongguan, a city known for its manufacturing industry, also has plenty of ancient charm. In the forest of reinforced concrete, there are countless ancient villages shining like stars. ✨ The "Mountain and Water New World" in Dongkeng Town, Dongguan, is composed of the traditional characteristic area of the old village, the rural experience area of Yue Ming Lake, the ancient wall ruins park, and the Ma Yao Ling mountain leisure park. The whole is composed of natural villages such as Huang House, Ding House, Peng House, etc., covering an area of about 300 hectares. Here, the mountain and water resources are rich, the ecological base features are prominent, and the historical and cultural relics such as ancestral halls, ancient walls, and ancient trees are clear. 🏞 In addition, nearby Dongkeng Agricultural Park, Dongkeng Rice Field Children's Park, etc. are excellent places for parent-child play.
