    Highlights: The Guanyin Mountain Forest Park is located near Zhangmutou Town in Dongguan, not very far from Shenzhen and Huizhou. The park area is widespread with many beautiful sites. It is a good place to get away to pray, meditate, or just relax. The scenery is very good with lush trees, fresh air, and many small waterfalls. Scenic spots within the park include a 33-meter tall basalt Bodhisattva statue, a sight not to be missed. Standing in Guanyin Square, one not only can look out over the town of Zhangmutou but can also catch glimpses of Huizhou, Shenzhen and Dongguan in the distance.

    "This trip is generally good! It is "a few mouse shit broken a pot of porridge!" The door ticket inspection is not very friendly, ask the way, many do not want! There is also the waiter at the convenience store next to the giraffe who is not good! Consumption there depends on her face! I saw a lot of animals, tigers, lions, giraffes, elephants, zebras, pandas... The ticket is very good! The design of the zoo is also good 👍 I will go back next time I have a chance!"

    Highlights: The former sites of Humen Fortress are distributed in places such as Dajiaoshan Wushan and Dahushan on both sides of the Pearl River. After Lin Zexu sold out his cigarettes, he and Guan Tianpei, the naval admiral, mobilized the people to prepare for defense, reinforced and built 11 forts, and set up more than 300 cannons. Shajiao Fortress and Dajiao Fortress are the first portals, Weiyuan, Zhenyuan, Jingyuan, Consolidation, Yongan, Hengdangqianshan platforms are the second portals, and Dahu Fortress is the third portal, and three lines of defense are organized. In Jiangxi Province between Hengdang Island and Wushan Mountain, two rows of wooden rafts and 372 zhang large iron chains were set up to intercept enemy ships. During the Opium War, the British invaders were repeatedly defeated. Except for a few of the current Humen Forts located in Panyu District, most of them are managed by the Opium War Museum. According to the geographical distribution, they are divided into relatively concentrated Shajiao Fortresses and Weiyuan Fortresses. The Shajiao Fortress Management Office and Weiyuan Fortress were established respectively. Managed by the Battery Management Office. The forts are mostly made of strips of stone and ash, sand, and yellow mud, and the plane circle or half-moon shape is divided into two types: open-air platforms (namely bright platforms) and dark platforms. The Weiyuan Fort has been preserved so far. It is made of granite stone with a total length of 360 and a height of 45 meters. There are a total of 25 gun positions, each with a height of 2.9, a width of 4.2, and a depth of 6.6 meters. There are storage rooms and lounges for officers and soldiers beside the gun emplacements. Jiebinghuo Tomb is located about 100 meters from Shajiao Pao Taipei. On January 7, 1841, 75 officers and soldiers of the Qing army who died heroically when the British attacked Shajiao Fortress were buried here. Now there is a "Mound of Volunteer" on the Humen Fort, where some soldiers who died fighting against the British army were buried there. Behind the Shajiao Fort at the west foot of Baicao Mountain in Humen is the "Jiebing Yi Tomb".

    Highlights: Weiyuan Fortress was built along the river, under the Humen Bridge. Because it is located in the south of the Pearl River Estuary, it is a river defense fortress leading to the inland of Guangdong. As early as the Ming Dynasty, the court began to build simple military bunkers in Humen to defend against foreign invasion. During the Opium War, the imperial envoy Lin Zexu, the navy general Guan Tianpei, and the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi Deng Tingzhen and others experienced hardships and dangers in Humen, and built a number of fortresses on both sides of the river center with Weiyuan Fortress as the core. "The name. Even today, visitors can still appreciate the legacy of the Humen war at Weiyuan Fortress. Weiyuan Fort is a relatively well-preserved ancient fort in my country. The Weiyuan Island where it is located is one of the ancient battlefield sites of the Opium War and the core position of Humen Haikou defense. At the Naval War Museum about 300 meters east of Weiyuan Fortress, visitors can also learn about the national blood and bitter history of the Opium War in many ways.
