But lads if you're already thinking about booking your next holiday to Dongguan, wait until you hear about the town of Noiva do Cordeiro.
The houses are painted lilac, pink and orange, the shrubbery is immaculately maintained and there seems to be a distinct feminine touch about the place.

The settlement dates back to the 1890s when a young woman – accused of adultery – and her family were excommunicated from the Catholic church.
Women gradually came to the town and swelled the female-dominant population – but in 1940 a pastor – Anisio Pereira took one of the women, aged 16, as his wife and set up a strict church.
He imposed strict puritanical rules on the female community – banning them from drinking alcohol, listening to music or using any contraception.
When he died in 1995, the women decided to never allow the town to be run by men again.
"Our town is prettier, more organised, and far more harmonious than if men were in charge."

Victoria in Australia is one of six states which has a clear gender imbalance.
At the last population count Victoria had the worst man drought – 98 males to every 100 females – in the country.
And although those figures don't sound too bad, across the state there were 58.399 more females than man.
Sophie – a single woman, aged 26 – said she would be happy to move home if she were to meet a man outside the state.

GETTYLONELY?: In Hong Kong, there are 209,000 women living alone
A recent census showed one in five Hong Kong women will remain single for the rest of their lives.
Right now, there are 209,000 women living alone – and that figure is rising rapidly.
With so many young women vying for the opposite sex's attention – men can work harder in their younger years before choosing to look for love.
For the first time ever population records show gender imbalance is a global problem with the huge countries – like India and China – dominated by men.
It is therefore vital places like Dongguan, Noiva do Cordeiro and Victoria are celebrated and become holiday hotspots for men across the world.
