First of all, it is probably more convenient that you travel on US passport.
Before your departure from Taiwan, you will have to decide where will you go after your stay in Shenzhen and Dongguan. This is essential because your destination after your visit to the mentioned two cities will be immediately visible to mainland China authorities. In reality, you will be in 144 hour visa free transit. Hong Kong is by far the most convenient option.
To be allowed to enjoy 144 hour visa free transit in Guangdong province, you will have to book a ferry from Shenzhen Shekou to Hong Kong Macau ferry terminal through CKS - Chu Kong Passenger Transport company website. You will receive an e-confirmation and you will print it out. You will need this printout all the time and also in Shekou where you will replace it with real paper ticket for Hong Kong. In other words, you will return to Shenzhen and take a ferry from there.
There is another option and that is to take a slow train from Changping [Dongguan] railway station to Hung Hom railway station. This would be even better option because the total travel time is just 1 hour 15 minutes, but to be allowed to use this train, you need to book it in advance, you can do it on this website, and also to offer your accommodation address for the agency to deliver the ticket on that address. Keep in mind that you cannot book this train on the official website because they do not offer an option with your name on the e-confirmation that you will receive on your email.
Now, you know your option and you will make a decision.
