      • Dongguan City's rapidly developing economy is matched by the development of its transportation infrastructure, a result of careful planning. Dongguan now plays a vital role in the communication line between Guangzhou and Hong Kong as well as with the cities lying along the Pearl River.

      At present Dongguan does not have its own airport, but visitors can use the airports in Guangzhou, Zhuhai and Shenzhen. Trains and buses run frequently between them and Dongguan, providing a convenient means of transport. Alternatively, for those visitors traveling from the bigger cities in China, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Xian and Hong Kong, train travel may be the preferred option. Dongguan lies at the hub of four main railway lines, and with four railway stations it offers a comprehensive train service in all directions.

      In addition the road network provides a highly convenient and modern transportation system throughout Dongguan. Consisting of about 2,640 kilometers (about 1640 miles) of highway, the road density in Dongguan is the heaviest in China, strengthening the vital role the city plays in the mid-southern region of Guangdong Province. Furthermore, some 13 towns and districts of Dongguan City have been linked together, so it is possible for visitors to reach any destination by taking one of the city buses which link the urban area with the suburbs.

      Bordering on the Pearl River, it is not surprising that the Humen Port of Dongguan is one of the most important ports in southern China. Not only is it important for trade but it also allows water access for passengers from Hong Kong to Dongguan. To sum up, as one of the most prosperous cities in southern China, Dongguan is easily accessible by air, train, bus or ferry for both international and domestic visitors.

      Getting There

      By Air
      At present, there are no direct flights to Dongguan as the city does not have its own airport. However, it is very convenient for visitors flying to, or from, Dongguan through Guangzhou Airport (CAN) 50 kilometers (about 31 miles) to the north, Shenzhen Airport (SZX) 50 kilometers to south as well as Hong Kong Airport (HKG) and Zhuhai Airport (ZUH) both of which are about 100 kilometers (about 62 miles) away. All of these airports have shuttle busses or ferries to Dongguan. Here is some information in details.

Most of the three projects is the project team, including the Broken Bridge is a project of self-challenge. Experienced in the challenges and stimulation, I was left to more reflection. Broken Bridge, the challenge of personal self-item can be "terrifying" four words to sum up. Project design and organization is very simple, just two disconnect between the wooden planks to do a simple jump back and forth, but it was shelved two wooden planks in the eight, nine-metre high tree. On the ground looking at the rise of the distance between the two wooden boards, I feel very close distance, it seems that can be lightly leaped past. When their chatter Chanweiwei climbed to 8, 9-metre-high scaffold, narrow wooden planks come to the end of Looking at the opposite one another narrow wooden planks, I immediately silly. On the night so far? I wonder what their own, I can jump past? So in the narrow wooden planks, I will rise? Partial will jump? At this moment, the opposite is so far little wooden boards, I could not help but begging for the old coach, "do not jump?" The coach says it is the answer: "No!" He then used the relaxed tone said "Do you think so many Hom life are gone, this is a simple jump Suandeile? think yesterday's" dark, eyes closed "game until the final才被that you are" murderers " , reflecting the quality of your psychological well ah, jump! you must visit. "After listening to coach remarks, I relax a little, but fear still haunting the normal operation of the board to continue the stalemate. Almost 20 minutes later, no way, the coach said, "If we do not jump, I will push you!" I know that the posterior can be no retreat, so will Xinyiguang, Zongshen jumped results secured fallen on the The opposite appears to narrow board, a look back, not far ah, only one meter just…… "Air a small step, a big step in life", in fact, we will be in life often face such challenges, knowledge and skills is only tangible capital, is the will and spirit of the invisible forces. The activities of deep indeed, I think the most important thing is for our future work, study and life to inspire and guide. This is a valuable asset.
