Shenzhen 2-day trip with my girls - Day 1

22/12/2012

As my friend Becky is working in Shangri-La, we got discount booking the hotel in Futian. It is the first time for me living in a 5 stars hotel in Shenzhen instead of at massage centre!

Headed to Dongmen and did some shopping first. Then took the train to 購物公園 coz we were having dinner at 巴蜀風月.

Address: 福田中心區福華三路星河國際大厦2樓西側 (near COCO Park)
It mainly provides Sichuan cuisine which is really fantastic. We ordered 7 dishes and It only cost us RMB350!

It was the last day of the trip. Didn't have much time coz we had to catch the flight in the afternoon. So we just hanged around the hotel and ate some food. All the food stores were within walking distance from Tune Hotel. If you are too lazy, you may also take the free shuttle in town (CAT).

It was like around RM$90/ person only... Stupid us...

Had breakfast at hotel. Then, there was a coach picking us up to the pier. We prepared some bread to feed the fish there by putting them in water bottles.
