Historically, more than 150 years ago, the incineration of opium during the Opium War took place in HuMen (one of the 32 towns of DongGuan) which to many symbolized the beginning of China’s modern history. HuMen was the historically recognized town where the opium trade into China was stopped by the local authorities and even today you can visit the fort and artillery’s display which at the time protected the sea route into Guangzhou (Canton). Other local attractions include cultural sites dating back to the Ming and Qing dynasties like the Keyuan Garden (one of the four most famous gardens in Guangdong Province), Jin’aozhou Pagoda, Yuan Chong Huan’s former home of Ming dynasty and the Huangqi Ancient Temple of the Song Dynasty
