One Day Trip Around Da Lang, Dongguan, Dongguan, China

Dongguan is a large city located in central Guangdong province, China. It will always have a special place in my heart as I have been working here as an English teacher in one of private kindergartens and living like a local for more than a year.

I have recently realized that I have not written anything about Dongguan yet. It鈥檚 a real pity though, as it鈥檚 a very interesting place to explore and live in. It has a perfect location as it borders with Guangzhou, Huizhou, Shenzhen (three most common business cities in China) and the Pearl River.

Surprisingly, Dongguan has earned a reputation as the 鈥渟ex capital of China鈥� and it鈥檚 home to one of the world鈥檚 largest, though largely empty, shopping malls, New South China Mall.

During my two years spent here I participated in Dongguan Lingnan Arts Festival (January), amazing Qingxi Flower Festival and Tea Tea Garden Festival (April) and Fenggang Hakka Art Festival (During the Lunar Mid-autumn Festival).
