Enjoy Every Moment~: A Short Visit to Shen Zhen 深圳

Travel is like knowledge. The more you see, the more you know you haven't seen. - Mark Hertsguard

An hour of ferry trip, take us from Macau to Shenzhen.
It's better trip rather than former ferry trip. Maybe, the waves wasn't too big.
Oh well, after all we reached Shenzhen around evening, drop the luggage at the hotel, and we just end of night by strolling around the Luo Hu Commercial City, where cheap stuffs are sold. A 10-mins walk from our hotel.

We stay in this hotel..

One thing you should know before you go to Shenzhen, Shenzhen needs another visa, different with HongKong and Macau, it is not a visa on arrival thing, so make sure you prepare your China visa, before you go. And they are very strict about it.

The very next day, we went to one jewerly place, I am sorry I cannot remember the name. And also a medicine house, sort of. Besides those two, we went to the tourist attractions, which were Windows of the World 世界之窗 and Splendid China 锦绣中华民俗村

1. Windows of the World

it is a theme park located in Shenzhen City, featuring more than 100 miniatures of the world's famous iconic landmark. Some miniatures are small, I mean smaller than us when we take picture with the building. But some are big enough, like Eiffel Tower, you even can go up to certain level, using elevator or stairs. It is just not as tall and as big as the real one. But it is one of the iconic landmark that is bigger than the others. We rent a small car (I called it car, though) fit all of us, around 18-20 pax + 1 driver, so that we do not waste our time to walk all the way around the park. We got not enough time for it. If you got more time, it is nicer to walk around, and take lots of pictures. And the car that we rent inside there, got explanation as we go around the theme park.

After finish one round, we are allowed to go ourselves around, for 30mins like that, there is a musical show below the Eiffel Tower, I am not sure there is some similar show every period of time, or it is once in a day thing. You can ask for more information about it to the information counter if you would like to see.
This theme park brings you see the whole world is all about, the beautiful Amsterdam, Italy, England, Asia, and more.

It was fun trip in ShenZhen, see whole world in just one day. the Cultural shows were both incredibly good and worth to see too.

The next day we do not have any places to visit, so I decided to walk from the hotel, walk all the way almost at the end of the street, just to enjoy the city of Shen Zhen, buy some snacks like Pao, Red Bean Porridge, and Milk Tea from 一點點. I used to drink this Nai Cha during my study in Shanghai. :D. And those snacks that I bought around the corner of the street, it's all so cheap, you should enjoy the street foods from Shen Zhen while you can.
Before we going back to Hong Kong, me and parents ate dim sum in small restaurant nearby the hotel. And it's all nice!
