General Comments:
Capital of Shunde County, and often referred to simply
as Shunde, this city lies 30 miles Southeast of Foshan,
and is an integral part of The Pearl River Delta. Shunde
has excellent road, and ferry links to China, and Hong
Kong via frequent Sea Cat ferry services
Shunde Port is a very major trading and export centre
which has it's own container base and Customs clearance
channels. This services local industry, which comprises
mainly of household electronic appliances manufacturing,
with Midea Company being a noted market leader. Shunde
also supports a thriving furniture industry specialising
in quality and unusual items
The city has a large pedestrianised shopping centre
with a great selection of goods (Hua Gai Street). Near
the centre are several renowned sweet shops (Desserts),
which are famous for ‘Double Skimmed milk’,
a lovely Chinese version of runny blancmange; the most
famous being MinXin
The restaurants are centred to the north of the precinct
on Jianhai Road, also known as food square. Recommended
restaurants include: Zhu Yuan for traditional Cantonese
food, Tianfu for spicy Sichuan food, Bao Xiang Lou for
Hunan cuisine and Guang De Tea House for a selection
of local Shunde dishes
There are many other places of interest including Fengling
Park on Fengshan East Street and Qinghui Garden on the
main road, Qinghui Road, with West Hill Temple nearby
No visit to Daliang is complete without a visit to Bar
Street, or Guipan Road. It also has many bars and nightclubs
along the riverside district, for those of you that
may enjoy the nightlife
During the day you can take a boat trip to ShunFeng
Park, near the new government building and centre. This
area also features the Baolin Temple and there is a
small Bruce Lee museum nearby which is expanding to
become a centre for Kung Fu excellence. Bruce only visited
Daliang once, but it is where his ancestral home is
located, and the local citizens are very proud of him
There is quite a large Foreign population here, mainly
teachers from USA, Canada, Australia, and UK. Shunde
Daliang is regarded as one of the best places for a
good education outside of Guangzhou
Summary:
Shunde Daliang is an interesting city
and gateway to Hong Kong by ferry. It is worth breaking
your journey to spend one night here and sample the
local food and shopping experiences. Also visit the
Bruce Lee museum if you are into Kung Fu
