Dongyin Yunhe

Don't miss the Dongyin Canal, a living relic of Dongguan's 1,000-year history that embodies the prosperity of Lingnan's water towns. Stroll along its banks where ancient stone paths and Qing-dynasty houses create a timeless atmosphere, occasionally interrupted by traditional fishing boats gliding by. The magic happens at dusk when the setting sun paints the water gold, and glowing lanterns lining the canal transport you back to old Lingnan.
