Dongguan, China: Exploring a European Town

Hey hey hey welcome to another video!This week we’re going to Dongguan, in southern China, just an hour’s drive away from Shenzhen. Dongguan is home to the HQ of the tech-giant Huawei, which they have built in the form of a HUGE European - style town. It is made up of 12 “towns” with architecture modelled on several European cities. These towns include replicas of buildings from London, Paris, and Grenada.Dongguan is also known as ‘the factory of the world’. Now, for me , this brings to mind images of crowded workshops, pollution, and miserable conditions. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of greenery and natural spaced in the city. We take the opportunity to take a ride on scooters and go and see what Dongguan has to offer.Join me for a weekend vlog full of surprises. A European town in the middle of China? A ‘factory’ full of parks and nature?!Is this what you would expect to see in a city known as ‘the factory of the world’?
