Not in Europe, a One-Day Trip to Dongguan's Most Beautiful European Town

By chance, I got the opportunity to enter Huawei's Xicun Town, and it felt like stepping into a real-life fairy tale! This place is incredibly photogenic and completely won me over. Below, I’ll share this super-detailed photo guide with you.

📍 Address: Xiliu Beipo Village, Songshan Lake, Dongguan (Huawei European Town)
🚗 Transportation: Self-driving is recommended. There are underground parking garages in every area of the town, making parking very convenient. Alternatively, you can take a bus and get off at "Xicun Apartment Gate 6 Station" or "Sino-Israel Industrial Park Station."
🎫 Entry Method: Currently, the town is not open to the public. You can contact a Huawei employee to help with reservations (each employee can bring friends or family in twice a year, with a maximum of 7 people per visit, and the employee must accompany the group throughout).

📸 Photo Spot Recommendations:
1. **Verona in Zone G**: A scene straight out of Venice, with red walls surrounding water—perfect for capturing reflections! Every shot could be a cover photo. Best time to shoot: 3–5 PM, when the light is soft and colors are vibrant.

2. **Luxembourg in Zone C**: Candy-colored buildings that will make your heart burst with joy 💒. Every angle feels dreamy. Best time: 9–11 AM, when sunlight bathes the buildings for stunning shots.

3. **Fribourg in Zone J**: Swiss hillside vibes with charming, winding streets, as if you’re at the foot of the Alps. Best time: 4–6 PM for backlit shots with dramatic silhouettes.

4. **Library (Sanyapo)**: The dome’s stained glass paired with 16 Roman columns exudes artistic charm 📚. Best time: 10 AM–12 PM, when sunlight streams through the glass, creating magical light effects.

5. **Along the Mini Train Route**: A red vintage mini train weaving through European-style streets adds dynamic charm 🚂. Stand by the tracks and snap a shot as the train passes—it’s super atmospheric. Note: The train runs every 10–15 minutes, so be ready!
