Discover the authentic charm of Dongguan at Xianhoufang Hengjie! This hidden alleyway preserves traditional Lingnan architecture with its grey-brick houses and timeworn tiled roofs, where decades-old tea cafes and artisan shops nestle between weathered walls. Visit at dusk when the aroma of claypot rice fills the air and locals gather on stoops with hand fans - it's like stepping into a bygone era. Don't miss the 30-year-old dessert stall at the corner, their chilled mung bean soup is the perfect antidote to hot summer days!
