Shilong Golden Sand Park

Shilong Golden Sand Park

Introduction: Shilong Town’s Golden Sand Park is located on the banks of the expansive and mighty Dongjiang River’s Golden Sand Bay, serving as the main venue for the annual dragon boat races. When spring arrives and flowers bloom, Golden Sand Bay is adorned with vibrant colors, lush coconut groves, green willows along red embankments, and a ten-mile-long azalea corridor where hundreds of thousands of azaleas burst into brilliant purples and reds. Especially at sunrise, the shimmering golden light dances on the water against the backdrop of blue skies and clear waters, creating a majestic scene. As night falls, the bay is illuminated with dazzling lights and flowing colors, with rainbows seemingly lying across the waves, offering a truly delightful experience. On the Dongjiang River, hundreds of boats vie for space while visitors enjoy the water. Along the shores of Golden Sand Bay, the hundred-meter-long relief sculpture "Shilong Ancient Town," depicting the millennia-old history of the town, complements the ten-thousand-square-meter "Dragon" character in Golden Sand Bay Square, blending seamlessly to form Shilong’s unique "Dragon Culture" ambiance that leaves a lasting impression. Transportation: Located in the Shixin District of Zhangmutou Town, it can be reached from downtown Dongguan by taking the special bus from Dongguan Bus Terminal to Shilong Golden Sand Park. Buses run every half hour from 6:25 to 18:20, with a fare of 4 yuan.
