Highlights: Dalingshan Forest Park is located in the southwest of Dongguan City, surrounded by green forests and mountains. There are many hiking trails to the main peak—Dalingshan—which offers a terrific view of the Pearl River and rolling hills below. A golden statue of Maitreya, or future Buddha, stands in the park, as well as a nearby temple where the faithful go to pray. The park is divided into six main areas, including Shidong Scenic Area, which features a serene, comfortable environment. Huaihu Reservoir is also a gem in the area, featuring a 7-kilometer, tree-lined trail around the lake, perfect for a leisurely bike ride.
