Hotel in Humen Town, home to Weiyuan Fort and the Opium War sites.
Longquan International Hotel is a mid-range hotel on Liansheng Road in Humen Town, Dongguan, Guangdong Province, China. Humen lies on the eastern bank of the Pearl River estuary in the south-west of Dongguan and is historically significant as the site of the destruction of opium in 1839, the event that led to the First Opium War. Weiyuan Fort and the Opium War sites, including the Sea Battle Museum and the memorial to Lin Zexu, are the town's main attractions and draw Chinese school groups and history-minded visitors throughout the year. Humen is also a major clothing-trade centre, known for its fashion wholesale markets, and the Humen Bridge over the Pearl River links the town with Guangzhou's Nansha district.
The hotel is a locally operated property rather than part of a major international chain, so the character is practical and value-focused. Room types listed are Standard Rooms and Twin Rooms, suitable for solo travellers, couples and pairs of colleagues. Free WiFi and a restaurant are the listed amenities, while a pool, spa and gym are not listed and should not be assumed. The exact distance to Weiyuan Fort is not listed, so visitors should check the route on a map or ask the hotel for directions.
Dining is available at the on-site restaurant, which typically serves breakfast and Cantonese-style meals. Humen has a strong food identity, especially for seafood and roast dishes, as well as Dongguan-style rice and noodle dishes, and the town's restaurants around the river and market areas are popular with locals. Visitors interested in local cuisine can find plenty of inexpensive choices within a short taxi ride.
Service is functional and local in style, and English may be limited, so a translation app and the address in Chinese are useful. The hotel suits short stays of one to two nights for travellers combining history sightseeing with business or clothing-market visits. Weekdays are generally quieter at the historic sites than weekends and public holidays, when school groups and domestic tourists arrive. Advance booking is advisable during major clothing-fair periods and national holidays, when rooms in Humen can be scarce. Prices are typically moderate, offering good value for travellers wanting a base in this historic town.
