This time I stayed at Wanda Vista Dongguan in Dongguan for two consecutive nights. Originally, I only wanted it to be close to the business district. After staying, I realized that its surrounding facilities and convenient transportation have taken all the hassle points of traveling in Dongguan into consideration. Whether it's for leisure or business, I can spend my time on what I want to do without wasting any time on the road.
The most outstanding thing is its transportation convenience. The lobby of the hotel is directly connected to Wanda Plaza in Dongcheng, so you can walk inside the business circle without going out of the door. Even in rainstorm days in summer in Dongguan, you will not get a little water on your body and luggage. The bus hub is located 50 meters from the entrance, covering most of the core business districts and industrial parks in Dongguan. You don't need to take a taxi to get there directly, so you don't have to wait for a bus on the roadside to waste time. It is only an 8-minute walk from Dongcheng Station on Dongguan Metro Line 2, and it takes only 20 minutes by subway to reach Dongguan Station directly. There is no need to transfer to Humen High speed Railway Station, and the whole journey is free of traffic jams and detours. If you drive here, the hotel comes with a large free parking lot with ample space. You don't have to wander around the business district for half an hour to find a parking spot. You can also take the exclusive passage to pick up the car and directly take the expressway to Songshan Lake, Humen and other places.
The surrounding 3-kilometer living circle fully covers all travel needs. Going downstairs is Wanda Jin Street, from local specialty roasted meat shops and Liaobu bean paste shops in Dongguan to internet famous milk tea shops and late night street stalls. You can find everything you want within a 10 minute walk, without having to travel dozens of kilometers across districts to check in. If you want to browse trendy brands, watch movies, or buy souvenirs, simply enter Wanda Plaza and you can get everything in one stop. You can even buy emergency power banks and sunscreen products, and take a turn downstairs to reach the 24-hour convenience store. If you want to find a place to hang out with friends, you can walk 15 minutes to the bar street in Dongcheng. After drinking, walk slowly back to the hotel without worrying about the issue of chauffeur.
If you want to go further to check in at scenic spots, it's not a hassle at all. It takes only 10 minutes by taxi from the hotel to reach the Xiaba Fang Art District, which is very convenient for taking vintage photos and browsing cultural and creative shops; 20 minutes to reach Songshan Lake, ride along the lake to watch the sunset, and easily travel back and forth on the same day without having to wake up early to catch up. Go to Ke Yuan to see Lingnan gardens, take the city expressway for 15 minutes to get there. After strolling, you can also catch the hotel's afternoon tea. The schedule is very relaxed and not rushed at all.
Even the attention to detail has hit the pain point of travel. The front desk can book free shuttle buses to nearby attractions, so you don't have to check your own route when traveling with the elderly and children. For self driving, the front desk can also provide free obstacle avoidance route maps to avoid congested roads during peak hours in Dongguan. I forgot to bring the data cable when I went out this time, and I bought it within 3 minutes of walking downstairs, without having to order takeout and wait for half an hour for delivery.
After staying for two nights, I hardly wasted a minute on transportation. I was able to reach all the places I wanted to go and the shops I wanted to eat in the most convenient way possible. Previously, when I came to Dongguan, I always felt that traveling had to take many detours. However, after staying at Wanda Vista Dongguan this time, I realized that choosing the right place to stay has doubled the overall experience of the trip. Next time I come to Dongguan, I will definitely book my accommodation here.Show more
