#shenzhentrip Basically to create things in life 🧬 is already a big deal, and to create something that'll go beyond generations is like putting a dent in the universe 🌌. Such is the creation of the European 🏰 town from Huawei, which speaks volumes of their dedication and perfection. As I was hearing about the effort that has gone into this town, it was confrontation time that to enjoy the entire town which is situated around the Songshan lake of 22km path, I was lucky to have the cycle 🚲 vendors providing range of cycles for couples/kids and families. It costed 40rmb for a decent single person cycle, with 300 rmb deposit which will be refunded on return. And this service is available at the east gate of Songshan lake itself. #tripblazers#urbanexplorer

#Greater Bay Area Attractions Huawei European Town is located in Xiliu Beipo Village, Songshan Lake, Dongguan. Huawei people call it "Xi Village", which is the famous "Huawei European Town". From entering to exiting, one is amazed constantly. This is undoubtedly the ceiling of the working environment for domestic workers! The classic European-style buildings are hidden among the lush green trees, the blue waves are like mirrors, and the wind is blowing the clouds. Walking in the park feels like studying in Europe. Xicun has a total construction area of ​​1.26 million square meters and is divided into 12 districts. Oxford, UK (A), Bruges, Belgium (B), Luxembourg (C), Lake Windermere, UK (D), Granada, Spain (E), Paris, France (F), Verona, Italy (G), Krumlov, Czech Republic (H), Fribourg, Switzerland (J), Burgundy, France (K), Heidelberg, Germany (L), Bologna, Italy (M).

Songshan Lake European Town Huawei Songshan Lake European Town's official name is "Xiliu Beipo Village", located on the shore of Songshan Lake in Dongguan. "Xiliu Beipo Village" is mainly used as an office area for Huawei employees, and according to friends' introduction, there are already about 20,000 people working here. I have been to some European-style town scenic spots before, either with smaller scale or just a street of buildings, lacking natural scenery and giving a cheap feeling of "failing to draw a tiger but ending up with a dog". Therefore, when the car was still driving on the highway and we saw the cluster of buildings among the mountains from afar, we already exclaimed "wow". Taotao has been obsessed with the "princess series" recently and was very excited to see the castle. Originally, we thought it was just a few office buildings around Songshan Lake, but we were surprised to find out that it is actually an independent kingdom with a huge scale beyond our expectations. "The Xiliubeipo Village" is divided into 12 areas, each based on the prototypes of 12 towns including Oxford, Windermere, Luxembourg, Bruges, Freiburg, Burgundy, Verona, Paris, Granada, Bologna, Heidelberg, and Krenov (Baidu). Because they are all based on famous European architecture, they have stood the test of time. Although they are new buildings, they are very grand and have a sense of weight. The most important thing is that this place is a natural scenic area, with picturesque Songshan Lake and undulating hills. Using the original terrain features to layout the buildings, it can be said to be natural and harmonious.

China’s Huawei Technologies is the largest telecommunications-equipment manufacturer in the world, with production and development centers in more than a dozen countries. One of its newest facilities, located in Dongguan, China, is being built as a collection of replicas of European landmarks. The 3.5-square-mile Ox Horn research and development campus is being developed as 12 separate “towns,” with names such as Paris, Verona, and Bruges. Research buildings are being modeled after famous castles, palaces, and more. The Ox Horn campus is designed to accommodate 25,000 employees, and is connected by private trams and trains to other nearby Huawei campuses and to company housing in Shenzhen. Kevin Frayer, a photographer for Getty, was able to visit the still-growing campus, and returned with these images.#urbanexplorer

The three-line train runs through the whole town, which makes you feel like you have traveled around Europe in half a day. It is a very special experience! 📍Address: No. 99, Huanhu Road, Songshan Lake Science and Technology Industrial Park, Dongguan City, Guangdong Province, China 💰Average consumption: Free 🗓️Itinerary: Self-driving tour is recommended

Spring has been a bit cold this year. The sun is shining brightly these days, so don't waste the beautiful spring weather. Go enjoy the flowers! The Songshan Lake Ecological Scenic Area in Dongguan has beautiful scenery and fresh air. The yellow tabebuia trees are in full bloom, and the golden forest is crowded with visitors taking photos. The blue sky, white clouds, red kapok, yellow tabebuia, and green grass complement each other beautifully. After enjoying the flowers, you can also visit the Huawei European Town. This area is great for hiking and cycling.

Also known as Xiliubeipo Village, Huawei European Town is divided into 12 areas. Each area is a 1:1 replica of a famous European town or landmark building, including Oxford, Bruges, Luxembourg, Windermere, and Granada. Each area has a unique architectural style, such as the university style of the Oxford area and the continuous small building blocks of the Bruges area. A 7.8 km railway connects the 12 areas. The retro red train is free for employees and visitors and has become a highlight of the park.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 It doesn’t matter if you don’t have a long vacation, just take a pseudo-European trip on the weekend! Huawei European Town in Songshan Lake, Dongguan is definitely worth a visit to relax and check in. Rent a bicycle for 20 yuan or a mountain bike for 40 yuan, ride along the lakeside road and Binhu Road, and you will instantly enter a fairy tale world. Cambridge, the little train, the castle... make you feel like you are in a small European town. While riding, you will see the pseudo-mottled exterior walls and be amazed at the fact that time has not aged! Of course, you can’t go inside Huawei, but taking photos just outside is already very good. I had originally planned to cycle around Songshan Lake this time, but due to heavy rain, I ended it early. Come back next time when the weather is good. #cycling #Guangdong Attractions
