Me, mak and d gals headed to Shenzhen and Hong Kong, last Monday. The main target was none other than the ever-waited-to-go, Disneyland. Shenzhen is to experience a little bit of China on the way.....
Our flight, Airasia was at 6:50 am in the morning, and reached Shenzhen at around 11am. The weather was cold, with wind blowing breezely. Alhamdulillah, the gals are well prepared with sweaters and jackets, tq to K. Ina who bought them from Melbourne. I love the weather, you know , when the sun is shining bright with cool wind.....it brings back good memories way back when i was a student in San Jose. Hhhmmm...dejavu!!!
I could see excitement in the gals' faces....
The tour guide and bus were already there waiting for us. We left the airport and headed to Shenzhen city. We immediately realized that the roads are huge, with 4 lanes each way and Aqeesh pointed out that there are no tolls here....masyaAllah, she is being observant! The land area are mostly flat. Once entering the city, we could see the office buildings and towers, huge and small. I spotted multinationals companies and of course the telcos; ZTE and HUAWEI. This place is huge!!!
We were brought to lunch first at a restaurant near the park, WINDOWS of THE WORLD. VEgetarian it was for us...It was ok though, with lots of vegie dishes n soup n chinese tea to satisfy our hunger. Then, we were brought to the WINDOWS of THE WORLD park, where they showcase most of the landmark building from all over the world. I began to think that since Shenzhen has no dominant heritage to potray due to it being the industrial type city, they built this park for tourists...how very clever!!! It was entertaining, with miniature size of the famous buildings and towers. You could even find Eifel Tower there....how romantic!!
I shall continue our journey in the next post.....
