Day 4 in Hong Kong : half a day in Shen Zhen

3rd and last breakfast of the trip then 就 checked-out lo... 




but as flight home was at 9pm... thanks claire and her hub once again for arranging a transport to 'entertain' us till airport check-in time at 7pm... and so to Shenzhen we went!!! the drive in only took less than an hour!!! 

SO FANGIRL EXCITED to see 战战 shortly after we alighted from the car!!! i choose to think that he was welcoming me to Shenzhen... 😍😍😍



chin-dised mac & kfc 爷爷



compared to Hong Kong, food was so much more affordable in Shenzhen... plenty of food to choose from but i didnt have the appetite for anything for lunch, not even this tasty mala fish above, after having a slice of sponge cake and half a pack of not tasty mac fries... =S  

水果茶 & 西瓜汁 是 一桶 一桶 买的... 😂😂😂


the only item that i bought for myself on this trip; a new phone cover and also changed my phone screen protector just because they were cheap at 20 yuan (S$1.85) each... hee
only have 5 designs to choose from since mine is a super old and basic model (read: no demand for it)... so am glad that there's a design that i like among the 5... a fat chubby panda over the previous baby panda sticker cover that i had coupled with 蔡妈咪... 






then we got whisked off to a theme park - Splendid China Folk Village 







pony carriage ride @ 350 yuan (S$65) an hour... our pony is called 大宝... 



It is the world's largest miniature park with 82 reproductions of China's must see at a proportion of 1:15... most of them looked good from a distance but could spot the wear & tear upon closing inspection... 😂😂😂






this bell was locked cos it was so loud that it was disturbing the peace in the neighbourhood and distracting the pupils in nearby schools... 😂😂😂
 






the park was so huge that even in a pony carriage, we only managed to conquer half of it before it was time to head back towards Hong Kong airport... 


the 冰糖葫芦 is 脆-er than those i had from scarlet... 😍😍😍


Michelle did so much shopping at Shenzhen that she had to reorganise her 战利品s for easy transport back to Singapore... 😂😂😂




dinner @ the foodcourt in Hong Kong airport and thanks Cynthia for the 老婆饼s

 
要起飞 lo!!!

vs

touched down lo!!! 
Thanks diligent and consistent Lee Ching for all the wefies... there's really at least a wefie at every meal, every place and every activity... i luv it... 😍😍😍


really thankful and grateful that everyone is so easy-going and accepting despite having different travel styles & levels of personal hygiene... 😂😂😂
