We began the day by leaving our hotel, which is Dongcheng International Hotel \u4e1c\u57ce\u56fd\u9645\u9152\u5e97. This is a beautiful, brand new hotel. We had a room on the 28th floor. The window view is not as spectacular but the rooms were spacious, modern and clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first event was a delicious dim sum organized by Carol&#8217;s cousins at a restaurant near by. We had a room to ourselves with a private washroom. Now that is classy. The dishes were similar but different from the dim sum dishes that we are use to in Toronto. This event will prove to be just the start of many tasty events to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We walked off the dim sum meal at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dgkeyuan.org\">Keyuan Museum<\/a> (\u4e1c\u839e\u53ef\u56ed\u535a\u7269\u9986). This is an old out door garden museum from the Qing Dynasties in the (1800&#8217;s).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We then got some Douhua (\u8c46\u8150\u82b1) dessert at a local store hidden from the main streets. This is followed by fresh out of the oven BBQ Goose (\u71d2\u9d5d), and then we parked ourselves at another dessert place eating more Chinese desserts and chicken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We then walked it all off in the central area of Dongguan City, and waited for the building lights to come on at 7pm. This is followed by another delicious dinner, and we finished the night with a trek around \u4e1c\u839e33\u5c0f\u9547, a lively area with plenty of eateries and night life activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dongguan is a newly minted first tier city in China, and we were shown that it has lots to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video aligncenter\"><video height=\"1920\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1080 \/ 1920;\" width=\"1080\" controls src=\"https:\/\/blog.lufamily.ca\/kang\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/11\/Asia.Trip_.2023.11.25.mp4\"><\/video><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Our day in Dongguan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On November 25th, we spent an entire day in Dongguan city near \u661f\u6cb3.
