[2025 Dongguan Attraction] Travel Guide for Songshan Lake Scenic Area - Misty Rain Scenic Area (Updated Jul)

Dongguan • Weekend Self-Driving Tour 🚗 Songshan Lake, Huawei Headquarters. A very relaxing place. It was my first time renting an electric-assisted bicycle, and it was quite fun. The bike has 5 speed settings, but at first, I wasn’t used to it and only used the second gear. As soon as you apply force, the bike automatically accelerates, making uphill roads effortless. There’s a cycling path that circles the entire lake. After renting a bike, I rode around the lake, covering about 30 kilometers. Along the way, I explored 12 "European-style town" areas, including Oxford in the UK, Bruges in Belgium, Granada in Spain, Paris in France, Verona in Italy, Fribourg in Switzerland, and Heidelberg in Germany. It was a pleasant surprise—the scenery was beautiful and stunning, with a European vibe. Autumn is the best time to visit. It’s perfect for families and a great parent-child outing to recharge and relax.
