There are two classic attractions in Dongguan, Humen Shajiao Fortress and Weiyuan Fortress.
Dongguan itself is the Pearl River port, belonging to the estuary city. When it comes to going to the beach, I personally recommend two seaside attractions, namely Shajiao Fortress and Weiyuan Fortress in Humen.
If transportation conditions allow, such as going on a self-drive tour, you can also tour the waters around Dongguan.
1. Weiyuan Fort is one of Dongguan's famous waterfront tourist attractions.
The reason why we recommend Weiyuan Fort is that this attraction not only allows you to see the sea, but also visit the real shooting place of the movie "Opium War".
If outsiders are traveling to Dongguan, especially for family-friendly trips, Weiyuan Fort is really a very good attraction to exercise yourself through the whole process of the seaside tour.
And it is significant for children's field history education, so this attraction is recommended.
Two, Humen Shajiao Fortress is also one of the recommended attractions of Dongguan seaside tourism.
Opium War period, Humen Shajiao Fort is the first line of defense to the sea. This scenic spot has many heroic deeds and tragic historical stories.
Many seashores have a heavy commercial flavor, and spending money is the main factor when playing at the seashore. It is rare to find a seaside tourist attraction with a dual nature like Sandy Point Fort.
This scenic spot not only contains a variety of entertainment venues, you can also visit the "anti-drug exhibition", "science and technology exploration exhibition" and so on. Because of its comprehensive nature, I recommend this attraction.
3. Dongguan neighborhood also includes two seaside attractions, Shenzhen Meisha Park and Huizhou Xunliao Bay Scenic Spot.
Now in Dongguan, if you must want to think of a simple trip to the seaside, you can also consider the two surrounding cities, Shenzhen and Huizhou, to road trip, by public **** transportation is very convenient.
Shenzhen's Meisha Seaside Park is one of the recommended seaside places to go. Many of the viewing facilities here are free, and you can have a 360-degree close contact with the sea.
Because Huizhou's Xunliao Bay scenic spot doesn't have too many tourists, the seaside environment tends to be clearer, and there's a lot of good seafood you can eat at a discounted price.
