Tang Long Leisure Farm (塘龙休闲农庄) is a reservoir-side farm restaurant on Tanglong West Road (塘龙西路), beside the reservoir in Tangxia Town, Dongguan, in Guangdong Province, China. Tangxia is in the south-east of Dongguan, on the edge of the hill country that adjoins Hakka-speaking areas of eastern Guangdong. Farm restaurants of this type, known in Chinese as nongzhuang (农庄), are a popular weekend outing for city residents in the Pearl River Delta, combining a meal with time outdoors.
The cuisine is Hakka, and the two signature dishes are classics of the tradition. Hakka taro pork (客家芋头扣肉) layers slices of braised pork belly with taro, then steams them so that the fat softens and the taro absorbs the savoury sauce. Salt-baked chicken (盐焗鸡) is a widely known Hakka dish in which the chicken is traditionally cooked in heated salt, giving firm, fragrant meat, and it is served sliced with ginger-scallion oil. Both dishes are usually ordered for sharing at a table.
The dining atmosphere is relaxed and rustic, in keeping with a farm setting near water, with an emphasis on family and group meals rather than formal dining. Dress is casual. No wine or beverage programme is documented; tea, beer and soft drinks are typical. The price range is mid-level ($$), and portions suit groups.
Opening hours are not published in the sources, but farmhouse lunch is typically 11:00-14:00. Reservations can be made on +86 769 8203 3168, and a reservation is advised at weekends, when groups and families travel out to the reservoir area. Visitors should confirm hours by phone, since farm restaurants can vary their service and may close in bad weather. The location near the reservoir means the drive is part of the outing, and a map app with the Chinese name will help in finding it.
