Just unlocked Dongguan, this low-key treasure city, and unexpectedly discovered this divine hotel! Dongguan Guesthouse truly surprised me; I originally thought it was just an ordinary government reception hotel, but it completely overturned my expectations~🌳
【Excellent Location】
• Located in the Songshan Lake area, built against the mountain with a huge area, yet only 15 minutes by car from the city center
• Very convenient for self-driving, just 10 minutes from the Dongguan exit on the Guangzhou-Shenzhen Expressway
• Only 5 minutes from Huawei European Town and Songshan Lake Scenic Area
【Stunning Environment】
I was shocked as soon as I entered! The overall design is grand and elegant, like moving Yunfu Chanquan Hotel to Dongguan:
• 500,000㎡ garden landscape, lawns trimmed like a golf course
• Surrounded by an artificial lake and streams, with black swans leisurely swimming
• Hundreds of plant species planted in the park, and in April you can see a whole sea of azaleas
• Especially love their Zen courtyard, with swaying bamboo shadows perfect for photos
【Room Experience】
• Basic rooms start at 50㎡, all with scenic balconies
• Amenities are from Hermès Orange Vert series
• Bathtub faces the mountain view, perfect for stargazing while soaking at night
• Upgraded executive rooms come with smart toilets and Dyson hairdryers
【Facilities】
• Outdoor infinity pool facing the lake (open from June to September)
• Tennis/basketball courts hidden in the woods, very pleasant for sports
• Children's playground with a cute pet feeding area, very family-friendly
• SPA center focuses on traditional Chinese medicine therapy, with professional therapists
【Dining Experience】
• The lychee wood-roasted duck at the Chinese restaurant is exceptional, using local lychee wood
• Breakfast includes freshly made Houjie roast goose rice noodle soup
• Lakeside tea house serves authentic Dongguan fragrant tea
📸 Photo Spots:
1. Lobby spiral staircase (best sunlight at 3 PM)
2. Reflection at the lake pavilion (recommended to shoot early morning)
3. Bamboo forest path (wear light-colored clothes for better photos)
4. Room balcony (use telephoto lens to capture the layered distant mountains)
💡 Practical Tips:
• Recommend staying in the newly renovated Building 8, with the latest facilities
• Lawn weddings often happen on weekends, great for photo opportunities
• The hotel offers electric car shuttle service; remember to call in advance for restaurant trips
• Songshan Lake cycling path is right behind the hotel, bike rentals available
Whether on a business trip or a short vacation in Dongguan, I sincerely recommend staying here for 1-2 nights! Much better value than city hotels, and the environment truly helps you relax completely~
