Stroll down Xicun Road in Dongguan and discover the city's unpretentious soul! Follow the aroma of claypot rice from decades-old dai pai dongs, then savor silky double-layer milk pudding at Zhenzhen Dessert—a hidden gem with 10 years of history. When neon lights glow at night, the street transforms into a "midnight canteen" for locals, where spicy fish stew sizzles alongside Cantonese banter. This is Dongguan's raw urban heartbeat, tasted one bite at a time.
