⛰️⛩️ Delightful DaLingShan ⛩️⛰️
Such a secret little gem with so much to explore!
A relatively little talked about park located between Dongguan on Shenzhen, this park is huge! There is a recently developed temple with so many beautiful little details. There are seemingly infinite paths all around the trees with some leading up to the peak. A lovely flat forest path winds its way around a 7km lake which is great for cycling.
This forest is a great place to escape the city and can happily cater for families, hikers, or sole travellers!

You must come and experience the irresistible itch of nature
Dongguan Dalingshan Forest Park is the perfect place to escape the heat, play in the water, and take a leisurely stroll. If you can't stand the sweltering 35-degree heat and the surging crowds in the city, why not come here for a walk and some oxygen? This place boasts the most pristine forests, where not only can you hear the purest sounds of cicadas and birds, but there's also a three-kilometer-long stream for playing in the water and catching shrimp. Soaking in the cool mountain waters is truly more comfortable than staying in an air-conditioned room. Moreover, it's only a half-hour drive from the city center, so it won't be overcrowded. The mountain is not too high, with an altitude of 530 meters, and it's estimated that you can reach the summit in about two hours. The route is mostly gentle uphill, suitable for both the elderly and children. The hot weather is just right for coming over to relax and cool off.

Guangdong's Most Beautiful Temple | Dalingshan Forest Park Guanyin Temple in Dongguan
It is said that nowadays many young people choose to offer incense between work and self-improvement; choose Buddha between seeking others and seeking self; choose a Buddhist approach between relationships and systems; choose the compassion of Buddha between sorrow and great sorrow!
Today, I recommend a great place for offering incense and praying to Buddha hidden in the deep mountains—Dalingshan Forest Park Guanyin Temple in Dongguan
Not only can you kneel in the God of Wealth Hall without getting up, but there are also the Heavenly King Hall, Tai Sui Hall, Guanyin Hall, Ancestral Master Hall, and so on for you to worship at will~ (Incense is available at the entrance for 20/bundle, or you can bring your own, which has requirements, see P13)
Inside the Guanyin Temple, the architecture is well-arranged, with each floor housing various halls, reflecting extremely symmetrical architectural aesthetics. The highest point of the temple is the Dharma Hall, which can be reached by elevator directly to the top, overlooking the entire Guanyin Temple, layer upon layer of Buddha's blessings, protecting all beings, and offering a magnificent and spectacular view!
Temple Tour Guide:
Tickets: Free
Opening Hours: 6:30-19:00 (Entry to the temple will be restricted after 18:30, overnight stays are not allowed, please leave before the temple closes)
About Food and Drink: The temple's vegetarian hall is open for buffet from 11:00-14:00 (20/person), and the Zen Tea House is open all day for tea tasting at your pleasure,

Dongguan Day Tour | Guide to Daling Mountain Elevator Guanyin Temple
Guide to Daling Mountain Elevator Guanyin Temple. This is the first time I've seen a temple with an elevator, it's truly a blessing for the lazy.
The temple is located deep in Daling Mountain of Dongguan, and it is said to have a history of over three hundred years. It's much larger than Hongfa Temple in Shenzhen, and it's both beautiful and photogenic.
⛩️ About the Temple ⛩️
① No reservation is required for the temple, but it is recommended to go early as the roads are narrow and can get congested during peak times.
② The temple offers vegetarian meals from 11:00-14:00, priced at 25 per person (including a 5 yuan deposit, which is refunded if you finish your meal).
③ Incense can be purchased at the entrance for 20 yuan per bundle, which is enough for worshipping all the deities.
④ The temple architecture is majestic; it is advised to dress neatly to avoid revealing clothing.
⑤ Photography of the Buddha statues is not allowed! Do not step on the temple threshold X
⑥ Visiting duration: 1-2 hours, there is an elevator available so it won't be too tiring, but if you like taking photos, it might take longer.
⑦ Upon exiting the temple, about 300 meters to the right, there is a square lawn where you can see the full view of the Guanyin Temple, and it's a great spot for taking photos of people and scenery.
⑧ When the visit is almost over, call a taxi in advance to go down the mountain, and there are also private cars available.
Transportation:
It is recommended to drive there, there is a parking lot P about 300 meters from the temple (there is no direct bus to the entrance of Guanyin Temple, and the park entrance is a few kilometers from Guanyin Temple, those who enjoy hiking can also choose to walk up).

Dongguan Weekend Niche Stream Tracing and Photo Spot - Dalingshan
Navigation: Dalingshan Forest Park Houjie Scenic Area Parking Lot
Route: If the car is parked at the Houjie parking lot, you need to walk along the road to the P3 fork. If the car can drive in, you can drive to the fork and park, then walk in (the road was blocked by fallen trees after the typhoon when we went). At the fork, take the middle path on the left with the pavilion, and after about 15 minutes, you will see a yellow P4 sign on the right. Start stream tracing at the red arrow. Along the way, you will pass through P5, P6, P7 series of bushes, and eventually reach the P8 destination.
Precautions:
1. Pay attention to weather changes to avoid exploring waterfalls on rainy days as the stones next to them are slippery; safety first.
2. You will pass through a lot of bushes and stones along the way, it is recommended to wear long sleeves, long pants, waterproof jackets, and non-slip shoes.
3. Bring an umbrella, mineral water, snacks, garbage bags, photography equipment, etc.
4. Take your trash with you when you leave, so that others can also see the beauty.
Difficulty: Overall, the difficulty is not high. Including photo-taking and retrieving the car, the whole journey takes about 2-3 hours, and the stream tracing route takes about 1 hour back and forth. The signal in the mountains is poor, so it is recommended that groups of three or more people participate for mutual assistance. Outdoor experts may ignore this advice.
