2010.2.13-19 Shanghai--Shenzhen--Hong Kong--Macau--Zhuhai--Guangzhou


On a gloomy winter day, listening to music and making a pot of tea, memories slowly unfold---


That year, I went with a friend, and he arranged the route and I followed him all the way. Therefore, in retrospect, only some scenic spots with connected pictures have some memories.


Shenzhen is referred to as "Shenzhen" for short and also called Pengcheng. It is known as "China's Silicon Valley".

My first impression of Shenzhen was that there was a very good high school classmate who went to Shenzhen as soon as he graduated. When I went to college, he came back and saw us with mobile phones, imaging cameras, and laptops (at that time, they were all high-end goods), telling us about the colorful world outside, and bringing us good food, good drinking and fun. At that time, I was envious and longing, and it was quite good not to want to go to college at that time (the tight and boring college life). He would send me postcards during festivals. What impressed me particularly was the Window of the World, which was a dream city for closed rural children. It was more than ten years later that I went to see this Window to the World, but I had been abroad and gained some knowledge, so when I looked at it again, I was very friendly! Just like a child playing at home, one country goes to another country!


Window of the World:The famous microcosm scenic spot is a man-made theme park that integrates world wonders, historical relics, ancient and modern scenic spots, and folk song and dance performances. Various attractions in the park are imitated in different proportions to promote world culture. The park is divided into 8 theme areas: World Square, Asia, America, Africa, Oceania, Europe, Sculpture Garden and International Street. It displays the Eiffel Tower in France, the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy, and more than 100 world-famous cultural landscapes and architectural miracles such as the Taj Mahal in India.

Because time was limited, we took a little stroll!




Because it was New Year, except for some people in the scenic spots, the road was empty.


Xiaomeisha:The seaside tourist resort mainly consists of three major areas: seaside area, Xiaomeisha Ocean World, and Xiaomeisha Hotel.
"Meisha Tading on the Waves" is one of the famous eight scenic spots in Pengcheng. The day we went was gloomy and there were not many people.


Shenzhen Stock Exchange-


We entered Hong Kong from Lo Wu Port


Hong Kong



Chinese University of Hong Kong (The Chinese University of Hong Kong), abbreviated as CUHK, is a top and internationally renowned public research comprehensive university in Asia

Facing Tolo Port, it is surrounded by mountains and seas, with many trees and birds, and a rich cultural atmosphere. It is known as one of the most beautiful university campuses in Asia
It was a holiday and the school was sparsely populated. I remember we climbed to the top of the mountain.

Hung Hom Platform


Wong Tai Sin Temple, Hong KongAlso known as Sik Sik Yuen, it was built in 1945. It is one of the famous attractions in Kowloon, Hong Kong and one of the most famous temples in Hong Kong

Everyone knows of it, and the incense is booming. Every year on the first day of the Lunar New Year, citizens compete for the lead.

According to legend, Wong Tai Sin, also known as the Red Pine Fairy, is widely known for practicing medicine to help the world. It is said that the Wong Tai Sin enshrined in the temple is "responsive to any request".

Therefore, we chose the first day of the New Year to get a good chance, but we didn't compete for the first time. There were too many people to squeeze in.



Hong Kong's streets are quite narrow

Hong Kong Disneyland:It is the fifth Disneyland in the world, the second in Asia, and the first Disneyland in China.

The park is divided into 7 theme parks, namely: American Town Street, Adventure World, Fantasy World, Tomorrowland, Toy Story Base Camp, Grizzly Bear Valley and Blunt Manor, of which Grizzly Bear Valley and Blunt Manor are unique in the world. There are themed rides, entertainment performances, interactive experiences, catering services, commodity shops and snack kiosks in the park. In addition, the park will present parade performances and fireworks displays every night.

There weren't many people there that day, so we didn't have to queue up and played almost every event!


Hong Kong MTR Disney Line

Golden Bauhinia Square

Golden Bauhinia Statue: This bronze statue is 6 meters high. On July 1, 1997, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region was established. The central government presented Hong Kong with a bronze statue of Golden Bauhinia. The "ever-blooming bauhinia" means that Hong Kong will always prosper.



Port of Victoria

Avenue of Stars:It is modeled after the Hollywood Walk of Stars in the United States, connecting Hung Hom and Tsim Sha Tsui and extending from the Hong Kong Museum of Art to the New World Center. From highly respected veteran filmmakers in Hong Kong to contemporary international Hong Kong film masters, they left their handprints and signatures here,


Tea Ware Museum and Luo Guixiang Tea Art Museum

The basic collection of the Tea Ware Heritage Museum was donated by Dr. Lo Kwai Cheung (1910-1995), including a batch of about 600 tea sets and related utensils dating from the Western to the 20th century. Half of this collection is ceramic tea sets, including notes, tea, cups, teapots and lids. The other half is a batch of Yixing pottery made from the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) to the modern era, including various tea sets, sculptures and cultural toys. In addition, there are a small number of European and Japanese-style teapots.

Le Tea House:

Tsuen Wan:Compared with central Hong Kong, accommodation is cheaper, the rooms are large, the view is wide, there are West Rail and subway nearby, making travel very convenient


View outside the hotel

We took a boat from Hong Kong to Macau and bought a first-class ticket (which was actually not much expensive), but the treatment was different. We had priority on boarding and boarding, and there were fruits on board. Haha, because it was the first time we enjoyed first-class treatment, so I still remember it.


Macau:

In 1553, Portugal obtained the right of abode in Macau. On December 1, 1887, Portugal officially occupied Macau through diplomatic documents. On December 20, 1999, the Chinese government resumed the exercise of sovereignty over Macao.


Macau has three islands and we only have one day, so we can only walk around the Macau Peninsula, eat and drink.


Senado Square: It is a square in Macau.

Holy House of MercyIt is the oldest charity in Asia

rose Hall: It is a common church among Catholic churches, and the patron is the Virgin of the Rose.
Baroque style, with the emblem of the Virgin of the Rosary and the Order of St. Dominic engraved above the front of the church

of St. Paul's Church: One of Macau's landmark buildings is characterized by one of the few Portuguese-style buildings in Macau. It was formerly a church. It has become what it is today after three fires. It combines the styles of European Renaissance and Oriental architecture, reflecting the blend of Eastern and Western art, with fine carvings and majestic scenery.

Senado Square : The largest and oldest fort among Macau's many fortresses. The Grand Fort was built in 1617 and completed in 1626

The vague New Lisboa Casino

A corner of Macau overlooking from the top

Macao Museum : It is mainly divided into three floors. The first floor displays Macau's early history, the second floor displays Macau's folk art and traditions, and the third and first floors display contemporary Macau objects. Macau's museums use three-dimensional, light, sound, images and other high-tech technologies, and use replicas and models to enhance the display effect. They mainly collect objects from calligraphy and painting, match industry, export porcelain, folk etiquette, Coloane Black Sand Archaeological Site, and firecrackers industry.

There was a shrine in front of almost every family, which was later seen in Guangzhou.


Grand Lisboa Casino:

Zhuhai

After traveling from Macau and passing through Zhuhai, I still have a good impression


Guangzhou

Fangcun Tea City: Because I like tea, I don't miss it when I pass by. However, during the New Year, the doors of the shops are basically closed and everyone has gone back to celebrate the New Year.


What impressed me deeply in Guangzhou was morning tea. I went to Lucky Tower Restaurant that day. I went there at around 10 o'clock, and the seat was already full. Fortunately, an old man called us to join them at a table. There were various snacks and fancy styles. It really opened my eyes, just like the saying in learning Cantonese in college: Eating in Guangzhou really deserves its reputation.



Summary : In the process of sorting out, I seem to see myself in the past again. Time really flies. In the blink of an eye, 10 years have passed. Apart from walking through some places in these 10 years, there really seems to be no big gains and progress. Although I saw more and understood the possibility and diversity of the existence of all things, I gradually smoothed out the edges and corners of life, and gradually lost the courage and courage of the past. On the contrary, I thought too much and lost many opportunities. I became sensitive and fragile in my own small circle. anyway , Fall and Stand up ! you need to resigh yourself to the awkardness of life ! fighting ! tomorrow is another day !
