[2025 Dongguan ] Travel Guide for Qifeng Park (Updated Jun)

Qifeng Park is located in the heart of Dongguan city, Huangqi Mountain and the park covers a decent area. It contains several natural and cultural landscapes such as mountain forest parks, artificial lakes, botanical gardens, Huangqi ancient temple, Huangqi mountain top lanterns, etc. A good place for tourists to go to understand the history of Dongguan. There is a Huangqi Mountain at an altitude of 189 metres in Qifeng Park. At the foot of the mountain is the Huangqi Guanyin Ancient Temple, where during the Spring Festival,I believe there is huge tide of tourists. An ancient well at the foot of the mountain, called "Lianquan", says - Drinking clean spring water can make people clean. Amazing park to visit 10/10! You can get there by taxi or subway “Qifeng Park station exit E” Address: Dongguan Dongcheng Middle Road No.2, Dongguan City, Guangdong province, China. #gooutside #travellater #dongguan #china #travelchina #chinatravel #guangdong #park

🌿🏮 Nestled in the bustling heart of Dongguan lies Qifeng Park, home to the "Number One Peak of Dongguan" – Huangqi Mountain. Spanning 234.63 hectares, this ecological garden is anchored by the 189-meter-tall Huangqi Mountain, connecting ancient temples, panoramic city views, seasonal flower seas, and urban greenways. It’s not only the site of Dongguan’s top scenic spot, "Lanterns Hanging on Huangqi Peak," but also a free urban oasis where locals and visitors alike immerse themselves in nature and culture. 🌄 Key Highlights • **Mountain Ascent & Blessings**: A 20-minute hike to Huangqi Peak rewards you with a bird’s-eye view of Dongguan’s CBD. At night, the 9-meter-tall red lantern atop the mountain glows, harmonizing with the city’s neon lights. • **Ancient Temple Exploration**: The incense-filled Huangqi Guanyin Temple, dating back to the Song Dynasty, features a four-courtyard complex blending Lingnan gray sculpture and woodcarving.

Spring brings rival blooms of azaleas and bauhinia, while lakeside bougainvillea walls create cinematic photo ops. • **Eco Oasis**: With 85% vegetation coverage and negative ion levels 10 times higher than the city, the park is a natural barrier where egrets dance and streams run crystal-clear. 🚶 Travel Tips • **Classic Route**: South Gate (30 min) → Lakeside Greenway Cycling (40 min) → Huangqi Temple Blessings (20 min) → Mountain Hike & Lantern Viewing (1 hr) → Sunset at Peak (30 min) → East Lake Nightscape (20 min).

In November, Dongguan is no longer hot and humid, and the cool breeze brings the taste of autumn. 🍁 Qifeng Mountain is a huge "natural oxygen bar." 🌳 The trees are dense, and the sound of insects is pleasant. Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy the natural relaxation of body and mind. At the foot of Qifeng Mountain ⛰️ is the Huangqi Guanyin Temple, which was built during the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty. It has a history of more than 1,000 years.

Remember this station when you come to Dongguan🚉!! It's fun all along the way!||When I got off work and went home, I found that the Dongguan Intercity Xiping West Station has been renovated, with expanded routes, and the station has become much brighter! The subway Xiping Station🚇 and the Intercity Xiping West Station🚉 transfer point have added the big characters of "Dongguan"! After exiting the station and finishing taking photos📷, you can transfer to the subway inside the station!🚉 The parks and business districts near Xiping West Station are relatively concentrated, so for future trips to Dongguan, just go directly to this station!

Not in Suzhou, but in Dongguan, I must not be the last one to know that I was amazed by the bougainvillea? The bougainvillea in Qifeng Park is so beautiful, paired with the classical architecture by the lake, it really makes for great photos. In addition, the park is not only a place to enjoy flowers, but also to hike, walk, take kids out, play sports, play ball, offer incense at temples, and so on, and it's right in the city center, making it a great place to take a walk and relax. Address: Qifeng Park, Dongguan Admission: Free Transportation: Take the subway line 2 to 'Qifeng Park Station' and exit at D or E, then walk 200 meters to arrive. About Bougainvillea From the main entrance, go towards the right side of the lake and you will see it, growing on both sides of the pavilion, very eye-catching. If you want to take beautiful portrait photos, you can choose to stand at the pavilion window or next to the bougainvillea walkway on the far left, both are very picturesque. (The bougainvillea blooming period is expected to last until mid-April, so if you like it, hurry up!) About Hiking Most people come to the park to hike, because the hiking trails here are basically gentle slopes, very easy, suitable for both the elderly and children, and it takes only 20-30 minutes to reach the top. From here, you can overlook the Dongguan CBD city night view, which is really beautiful~

📍Dongguan Qifeng Mountain March 3rd, climbing the spring mountain. Only after descending did I realize it was exactly March 3rd. It was my first time climbing Dongguan Qifeng Mountain, which is very friendly to beginners. It took just over an hour to walk up and down slowly, and the big red lanterns are at the top. Although it coincided with Guangdong's humid and overcast weather, the air in the mountains was still refreshingly clear! 【Travel Tips】 📍Location: Qifeng Park 🚇Transport: Metro Line 2—Qifeng Park Station 🎫Admission: Free (no advance reservation required) Dongguan is really suitable for friends from Guangzhou and Shenzhen to go on a vicinity tour. Metro Line 2 connects many spots, and it's also great to find a weekend to enjoy a bowl of roast goose Lai Fun.😎

| Could it be the legendary hidden treasure place? How many places in Dongguan are worth exploring? Today, I found another suspicious place in the hinterland of Qifeng Mountain: Corpse Garden? This place is located at the foot of Benshan Mountain, Benshan, even the locals in Dongguan have rarely heard of it. It is at the junction of Qifeng Park and Hu Ying Park. Along the inconspicuous forest path along the greenway, the path is not wide, the narrowest place can only accommodate one person. As you gradually enter the forest, you will soon see a dated gate standing alone in the mountains. The words on it have already peeled off. You can vaguely see the words 'Corpse Garden'. I don't know if it's because it's fallen off, or it's like this. It seems that there should be another word in the middle. Could it be: Corpse Paradise??? Why build a gate on a Shenzhen old forest path that can only accommodate one person? We don't know! Continue to move forward, along the way are plants that are taller than people, they should be called 'Dripping Guanyin', and some vine plants, like wild green radish, climbing all over the roots, covering the ground, into a valley, two huge stones are lying on both sides of the road, obviously out of place with the surrounding environment, they are artificially placed here, the valley is surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on one side, could it be the legendary feng shui treasure? There is also a palm-sized colorful spider and some unknown flowers and plants in the forest! Originally, there was sunshine when I came in, but after a while, I found that the sun had been covered by clouds. The forest began to dim! The temperature also suddenly felt a lot lower, although the terrain is east to west, there is sunshine in the afternoon, but the dense forest is hard to penetrate the sunlight, so I didn't dare to stay for a long time and ended this adventure!

great park #wintergetaway
