Songshan Lake is located in the geometric center of Dongguan City, in the Songshan Lake Science and Technology Industrial Park where "science and technology combine with mountains and rivers".
Songshan Lake has a beautiful natural environment, and its charming scenery when the rain comes out in the early morning is famous for its "misty rain". 150,000 flowers of various styles, including peach blossoms and plum blossoms, are planted along the lakeshore and coastal islands, providing beautiful scenery in all seasons. Even more special is the Songhu Yanyu Firefly Garden, where you can get up close to fireflies and feel the romance and fantasy intertwined.
There is a pillar in the area that looks like a giant pen. It is said that Lai Buyi, a famous Feng Shui expert in the Ming Dynasty, followed the dragon veins here and saw a mountain like a golden hairpin, which looked like the relics of seven fairies. Lai Buyi didn't dare to reveal the secret, so he inserted the brush in his hand with the copper sleeve on the ground, which meant the treasured place of No. 1 Scholar. The locals called this pillar "No. 1 Scholar Brush".
The scenic area includes Songshan Lake Flower Sea, Zhuangyuanbi Park, Yuehe Lake Park, Central Park and other special attractions.
The Tongji Bridge in the park is a stone bridge from the Song Dynasty. In ancient times, people in Dongguan had the custom of crossing bridges during the Lantern Festival. The proverb "walking through Tongji, there is no closure" is well known in Dongguan, which means that if you walk "Tongji", there will be no worries and sorrows.

Zhuangyuanbi Park is a historical and cultural park. It is mainly based on ancient Lingnan buildings. It is based on the "Zhuangyuanbi" story that inspires many students to study, and uses Qi Shun's arduous study path as a clue. Landscaping is created according to the terrain and developed into a tourist attraction.
The Laurel Pavilion in the garden is said to be where the champion rested on his way to Beijing to take the exam. Walking along the mountain road, you reach the highest peak in the village - Kuixing Pavilion, which means winning the top prize and becoming famous.
