Dongguan is in the middle southern part of Guangdong Province, and it
is in the northeastern part of Zhujiang Triangle Islet. I got its name
because it lies in the east of Guangzhou and is rich of a kind of grass
called Guan Grass. In Han Dynasty, it belonged to Bolang Country, in
Eastern Jin Dynasty, it belonged to Baoan Country, and in Tang Dynasty and
Song Dynasty, it belonged to Dongguan Country. In Sep. 1985, it was built
as a city. Now in Dongguan, there is an urban district and 29 towns.
Dongguan is the important place that is lived by those countrymen residing
abroad. Humen, which is in Dongguan, was the main battleground of the
Opium War. In Qing Dynasty, Linzexu, our national hero, destroyed the
opium in Humen also. And there is Shajiao Fort, Weiyuan Fort, the Opium
Destroying Pool and Linzexu Park. Also, there is Ke Garden that is one of
the four famous gardens in Guangdong Province. Dongguan abounds in
