General review on hotels in Dongguan

Up to now, we have just covered two towns in Dongguan, Humen and Chang’an, which are about one hour’s drive to Pazhou (taxi fare: about US$40). There is no metro.

Hotels in these areas are comparatively lower priced, ranging from US$15 to US$60, most of which will not increase the rates during Canton Fair. They provide standard facilities, some of which include shuttle bus to Pazhou. Most of the star hotels are experienced to receive foreign guests.

Considering the long distance from Pazhou (Guangzhou), which would cost you travel time or higher traffic fee, we would not suggest you staying in those budget hotels that do not provide shuttle bus to Pazhou. Of course, if you’d like to visit the factories or attend the exhibitions in Dongguan, those budget hotels would be worth considering.

Chang’an

Chang’an is a famous industrial town in Dongguan, mainly specialized in electronics, metal and tooling.

It is 70 minutes drive to Pazhou, while it is just 20 minutes drive to Shenzhen Bao’an Airport.

There are a great number of immigrant workers from other provinces, thus the environment is not so good, noisy and disordered. However, if you would like to visit the factories very often and do not mind the long distance from Guangzhou, Chang’an might be your choice.
