Finally, before the end of 2023, I stepped into Huawei Songshan Lake European Town! I had put off my friends twice before for various reasons, and this time I finally got what I wished for, I'm so happy! 😊
Riding the small train through 12 castles each with its own characteristics, I felt as if I was in a fairy tale world. 🚂 Each castle has a unique style and story that makes me linger. 📸
Here, I felt Huawei's innovative atmosphere and corporate culture. On Huawei Family Day, many parents and children participated in activities together, with constant laughter, making me feel the warmth and humanity of Huawei. 👨👩👧👦
Although the weather today is a bit cold and the wind is a bit strong, my enthusiasm has not been affected at all. 🌬️ In this beautiful place, time seems to pass particularly fast, and half a day has passed in a blink of an eye. 🕰️
If I have the chance, I will definitely come again, spend a whole day, and slowly taste the beautiful scenery and culture here. 🏰
Huawei Songshan Lake European Town, see you next time!
Everyone in my circle of friends thought I went abroad! The mysterious Huawei European Town
In early December, I strolled around for a few days in the winter that was like summer in Guangdong, and an old friend invited me to take photos in Huawei European Town in Dongguan Songshan Lake. I was so happy that I could finally go to this well-known mysterious town~
It is said that Huawei spent 10 billion to build this European town in Dongguan Songshan Lake base. It also has a nice name - Stream Backslope Village, Huawei people like to call it Stream Village. It is open to visitors on weekends, but only Huawei employees can make reservations for their friends and family, and at most only 7 people can enter each time.
Driving into Stream Backslope Village is like entering a fairy tale world. All kinds of castles and bridges I have seen in Europe are condensed in this park. The park covers an area of 1900 acres. All the architectural styles are European classic styles, divided into 12 architectural groups, respectively imitating: Oxford, Windermere, Luxembourg, Bruges, Freiburg, Burgundy, Verona, Paris, Granada, Bologna, Heidelberg, Krnov, etc. The best way to visit is to take the free light rail train in the park. There are 3 routes, all of which are circular, equivalent to the outer ring, middle ring and inner ring of the park. Visitors can choose the appropriate route according to their own time schedule, and take the train to tour 'Europe'. Get off at each station to take photos and visit, then get on the train and continue. Of course, some stations are very close to each other and you can choose to walk to the next station and then take the train.
Visit method: It needs to be booked by Huawei employees who work in the park, and it is open to tourists on weekends.
Transportation: Self-driving navigation to Stream Backslope Village, there are many entrances and exits, adjacent to different areas, each area has its own underground parking lot.
Catering: There are restaurants, convenience stores, coffee shops, etc. in each area.

Timeless buildings
#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
Magic Door to Europe 🌍
#shenzhentrip
This time during my Shenzhen 🏨 stay I thought of exploring the outer areas, and that's when I came across this magical place that would literally make you feel like you opened the magical door 🚪 to Europe 🌍 It was an one hour ride to Songshan lake east gate which is a 4A rated ecological site. Well, it isn't just the lake but these towering beauties that added charm to the whole place. Being a techie myself, it is a total surprise to me that inside these buildings 🏫 operate the Huawei tech development and university. I also got to know it's quite an ambitious project that Huawei took it up and poured in close to billion 💵 dollar. I think it's fair to say, it's paid off 😁 #tripblazers #urbanexplorer
Domestic European small town
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

Where to Travel|My friends bombarded me with questions, thinking I went abroad|
|My friends bombarded me with questions, thinking I went abroad|. This is part of the series on places that are generally not accessible unless you're being hosted, like the European town that requires an invitation to enter.
Only those who are destined can find their way into the town.
✅ About making a reservation to enter
You need a Huawei employee to make a reservation. I inquired and found out that even Huawei employees have to scramble or get lucky to make a reservation. They have 2️⃣ chances per year, and each time, they can bring up to 7️⃣ people.
Reception point: Stream Backslope Village A Area, where the host must receive the guests.
Note: Guests must bring their ID cards for registration and to complete the reception procedures.
✅ About transportation
Scroll to the last picture, map number ten. The town has a total of 12 areas, each with a different architectural style. The town's mini-train connects them all, with 3️⃣ lines in total.
1️⃣ Line stops at: FGHJLM
2️⃣ Line stops at: BCDEFGHJKLM
3️⃣ Line stops at: ABCDEFGHJKLM
The mini-train stops running at 18:30. Pay attention to the time if you need to return to the starting point. If you miss the time, the remaining return journey is on foot or by shared bicycle🚴♀️.
✅ About taking photos
I found that the crowds mainly gather in areas F and L. Of course, if you wait patiently for a while, the crowd will slowly disperse. 👬👭👫
The lesser-known areas B and C also have many great spots for checking in. One of the photo spots is the overpass at the C area train station building.

Here I am pretending to be abroad, Huawei's European Town, here I come
I was fortunate enough to visit Huawei's European Town with the company. Who would have thought that this is an office building just by looking at the town's exterior. I have to say, it's such a blessing to work here.
Huawei's European Town in Dongguan is composed of twelve building complexes
They are: Bologna, Heidelberg, Klenov, Oxford, Windermere, Luxembourg, Bruges, Freiburg, Burgundy, Verona, Paris, Granada, each area has corresponding European classic towns as reference and inspiration, working in such a poetic and picturesque, comfortable and beautiful environment is naturally a pleasure.
Entering the town gives a feeling of being abroad, every place is very photogenic, each building complex has its own coffee shop, leisure seats, where researchers can rest and relax or take a nap in the afternoon, really envy the 'princes' and 'princesses' who work in the castle.
Must experience in Huawei's European Town
①Even the small train is European style, the small train runs through the twelve blocks of the town, about every five minutes and is free of charge.
②European Town Cafe, each cafe has its own exclusive name, warm and with a corporate culture layout atmosphere is full.
③Huawei Restaurant, I think it's more appropriate to call it a food city, there are too many types and varieties to choose from, all kinds of authentic food can be eaten every day without repetition.
Note tips:
Address: No. 99 Huanhu Road, Songshan Lake Science and Technology Industrial Park, Dongguan City
Tickets: Free. Currently, you need to make an internal appointment or be invited to enter.
Huawei's European Town Park does not have high-rise buildings, the main buildings are orderly scattered in the ecological green park, the highest building is only four stories, each building is at least 300 meters apart, Huawei's European Town is connected by a small train through all the blocks, the small train is composed of three routes.
The surrounding environment of Huawei's European Town is surrounded by mountains and rivers, the lake and mountains are integrated, each group is full of European style, with unique architectural features and artistic style, such a Huawei's European Town is definitely the 'ceiling' of the domestic working environment.

Auntie born in the 60s first visits Songshan Lake
Date: December 26, 2023. The night before, I booked a ride at 8:30 from Dongguan city to Songshan Lake Scenic Area, about half an hour, the driver took me to the entrance of Songshan Lake Misty Rain, walking along the lake and enjoying the view, the morning weather was cloudy, I took a few random shots of the lake, the reddish fir trees reflected in the lake, very beautiful! It is said that viewing this spot in the rain has a misty beauty, hence the name Songshan Lake Misty Rain. Following the lake, then turning right for about 3 kilometers, to the entrance under the Songshan Lake Bridge, I rented a bicycle, 30 yuan unlimited time, need a deposit of 200 yuan, then started cycling around the lake, under the guidance of the rental sister, I cycled towards the direction of Huawei European Town, Songshan Lake is shaded by green trees, the lake, sky and distant buildings blend into one, occasionally encountering young couples, professional cyclists, passing by, very romantic, I was riding fast and slow in the forest, feeling extremely good, hey, the white building across the lake is beautiful, take a photo, sit on the grass for a while, move forward, the fairy-tale scenery becomes clearer and clearer until it is fully presented, the weather cleared before noon, the winter sun shines on the body warm and comfortable, stopped twice on the way to rest, ate something, unknowingly it was afternoon, cycled to a Huawei European-style castle building group opposite, stopped, across the lake saw two similar castle buildings symmetrically distributed, connected by a beautiful long bridge, from the bridge hole saw the purple railing reflection, the boat slowly rowing, the goose slowly swimming, the bridge hole reflection into a circle, the colorful castle stands at the bridge head, I can't describe the beauty of this moment in words, this moment time seems to stop, really shocked me! Many tourists are waiting for the sunset, want to see the sunset beauty of the sunset, because I am alone, dare not go back too late, cycled 6 kilometers along the lake, arrived at Songshan Lake Post Station, feel that time is not enough, physical strength does not support to play the remaining attractions, directly navigate out of the scenic area, along the road to the bridge rental point returned the car, then called a taxi, around 5 o'clock returned to the city hotel, just to avoid the peak of work. Songshan Lake Scenic Area is very large, the first time because of unfamiliarity, also afraid of too tired, only played a small part, the rest will come to enjoy next time. It should be noted that during the cycling process, you should bring water and food, there are not many places to eat in the scenic area except for the post station, met a bike selling water and popsicles, and a roadside stall.
