DAY 1
Bye bye Park Inn, till the next time.
Today we will be taking the High-Speed Rail to Shenzhen.
Inside the station, the place is clean and big.
Here came our train.
Similar to the previous train, it was clean, spacious, and comfortable.
After about 90 minutes, we arrived at Luohu Port Station.
The station was crowded with many people.
The interesting part was that there were many stalls selling roast meats. Looks like the people here love it.
We decided to try out this restaurant called 小桃园酒家. The food and service were average.
We took the metro and arrived at our hotel.
Our bedroom.
Our small but practical bathroom.
There was even a small cafe inside the hotel. Guests were given a drink voucher each.
From the hotel, it was just a 10 minutes walk to Dongman Pedestrian Street (东门步行街). The place was more crowded than Beijing Street.
Tonight we will be trying out this award-winning restaurant (大榕树下).
This was the restaurant’s promise.
We ordered some Cantonese’s popular dishes and they were all tasty.
Especially the dessert.
We passed by a night market on the way back to the hotel. It’s more of a drinking place instead.
DAY 2
This morning, we tried out this newly opened restaurant (今日酥).
The unique feature of this restaurant was that the kettle automatically filled up once it reached a certain level. So you will always have hot water without the need for a refill from the service staff.
We left with a bursting belly.
From the restaurant, we took the metro to Window of the World (世界之窗).
The Window of the World is a renowned theme park located in Shenzhen, China, offering visitors the opportunity to explore miniature replicas of famous landmarks and cultural attractions from around the globe.
Visitors to the Window of the World can embark on a journey around the world in a single day, marveling at the intricate details and craftsmanship of the replicas. The park offers a unique blend of entertainment, education, and cultural immersion, with live performances, cultural shows, and interactive exhibits showcasing the diversity of global cultures.
There is also a huge shopping complex across the Park.
As for dinner, we had chosen this restaurant (京味张烤鸭店) to try out their Peking Duck. There was a long queue when we arrived. We waited for an hour before our number was called. Do come early to collect a queue number.
You will be greeted by this bronze man as you enter the restaurant.
The kitchen where they bake the Peking Duck.
The restaurant was packed fully every day.
We were fortunate to be given a small private room with a few tables to be shared by 5 groups of people.
Our Peking Duck was served straight from the oven and cut in front of us.
Our Peking Duck with the wrappings.
Our Prawn Balls in superior broth.
Deep Fried Egg Plant.
Overall, it was a delicious meal. It’s worth the wait.
DAY 3
The next morning, we left our luggage with the hotel during checkout as our flight was in the evening.
We came back to 繁楼 for breakfast.
As it was a weekday, fewer people were waiting in line.
The place was so big that a staff had to bring us to our table.
The food took a while to come. Our Har Guo came first.
Followed by our 3 color buns.
Next came the Red Crispy Rice Roll with Prawns.
These multi-grain rice cakes were given to us for free as we waited for more than 30 minutes.
And lastly our dessert.
Look at the spread. We couldn’t finish everything and had to pack the rice cake.
We headed to the airport after collecting the luggage from the hotel.
The airport was quite big and clean.
And we ended our last meal in China with KFC.
The boarding was on time.
Our in-flight meal.
Good Bye China………………………………
