Dongguan Rundown
The formula for the megacity in China - equal parts meteoric economic growth and mass rural exodus - invokes inherent problems for anyone who strives to frame it all in words. How to describe the province of Guangdong without the usual hyperbole? Perhaps the most effective method is to state the obvious: Guangdong is big. Very big. Think the entire population of Mexico in a country the size of Uruguay. Of critical importance, however, is the fact that more and more of the province is urban.

Dongguan is a vital cog in the new Guangdong and a cornerstone of the 40 million strong Pearl River Delta megalopolis, together with city partners Guangzhou and Shenzhen. The city of 8.2 million people is a busy economic hot shot that lags after only Shenzhen, Shanghai and Suzhou in total annual exports. More germane for visitors is a dense cluster of wholesale markets.
Alas, however, Dongguan is primarily a business city that has yet to find a soul or original identity and, as a result, has a way to go to compete with the Pearl River Delta likes of Shenzhen and Guangzhou, let alone Hong Kong. Most of the best tourist attractions in the city reside within Humen Town.

Humen International Fashion Fair takes place in November.
When To Go
Dongguan has a humid subtropical climate with palpable monsoon effects. The wet season features heavy rain, typhoon thunderstorms and oppressive humidity from May to September. Summer temperatures range from 76°F (24°C) to 90°F (32°C).
The mild winter and dry season is decidedly more comfortable. Weather from December to February wavers between 53°F (12°C) and 71°F (22°C), with minimal rain. The months of March and November can be rather pleasant as well.
Getting Around
The Pearl River Delta has a parade of international airports. Take your pick: Macau, Hong Kong, Shenzhen and Guangzhou. The last two reside within one hour from Dongguan. Humen is a ferry ride from Hong Kong International.
Bus is the most popular mode of transport for Pearl River Delta visitors, with a plethora of Dongguan options from Hong Kong, Shenzhen and Guangzhou.
Within Dongguan, a green city taxi is the most reliable bet.
