If you only visit one place in Dongguan, it must be the Botanical Garden!

Spring in Dongguan is hidden in the Botanical Garden!
Water lilies, orchids, bougainvillea, and various other flowers.
I've put together a spring 🌸 travel route that is flat and stress-free, where you can also check in at the oil painting flower sea, European manor, and tropical rainforest, three major scenes.

📸Must-see check-in spots
🌳Famous Tree and Flower Garden
Different flowers bloom in different seasons. Huarong Garden and Baihua Stream are both beautiful. There are occasional sprays near the suspension bridge. Wearing a light-colored dress and straw hat 👒 will make for great photos!
.
⛲️European Terrace Garden
European-style windmills and Roman column corridors
The love tree ❤️ is a must-see for checking in and will blow up your social media feed.
Walk down to the desert plant garden, which is full of exotic charm.
.
🏝️Malaysia-China Friendship Garden
Traditional Malay stilt house architecture, surrounded by palm trees
Paired with blue skies and white clouds, you'll feel like you've flown to Southeast Asia in a second.

🌺Orchid Garden
This is simply the hidden gem of the botanical garden, with a rare collection of 200+ kinds of orchids, surrounded by mist, making you feel like you've stumbled into a tropical rainforest!
.
April and May are the peak flowering season, plus the Dongguan May Day 🍓🎶. The botanical garden is only a 20-minute drive from the venue. Enjoy the spring scenery during the day 📯 and go wild at night. It's the perfect May Day plan!
Different lineups every day from May 2–5.4. I'm really looking forward to Wei Shen and Zhang Qiang on May 2. I can already feel the 🔥 burning at the scene, and the "Cantonese Special" on May 3 really hits my heart! People in the Greater Bay Area, go for it! Miriam Yeung, Vincy Chan, and Pakho Chau will all be there in person. Who understands the gold content of this music festival 🙊!
