Chinese Acrobatics @ Folk Cultural Village

by SLLiew

Chinese acrobratics are fun and thrilling to waste.

One wonders how long it takes to learn to balance that tea cup, touch your forehead with your toes or squeeze through that narrow gap.

Whether it is a high wire balance art or stacking as many bowls as possible on one's head, Chinese acrobats have been entertainng emperors and villagers during festivals for centuries.

So enjoy the show.

Boat from Macau to Shenzhen

by Avieira67

A good way to travel from Macau to Yunnan Province is by boat until ShenZhen, and then by airplane until Kunming. Boats leave at Macau Porto Exterior and arrive at Shenzhen Port. The journey takes about 1 hour. Boat fare includes transfer by bus from Shenzhen Port to Shenzhen airport.

a coffehouse/bakery/diner. unfortunately i didnt get to try the food as i went there with a full tummy and just ordered for a drink.
however, my friends complained that it took them so long to prepare the food. they only ordered pizza breads and sandwiches. the meals cost 25 (choice of sandwich comes with free drink or soup, your choice)
i ordered for a papaya shake, that doesnt taste like papaya at all. and it doesnt taste good either. a waste of 18RMB. ill tell you on mynext visit.

Windows on the World

by Alain_Smeets

This park shows you the world in miniature. Some people that I know visited this place and they liked it very much. But because we only had one day here, we choose to see the parks related to China. But it's worth the visit and all parks are in walking distance from each other.

So if you want to see the wonders of this world go there, you can see the Eifeltower or the pyramids of Egypt. You can find 118 scenic spots from all over the world here.

Fuyong & Shenzhen - Trip to the Pearl River Delta

by victorwkf

In April 2006, I went on a trip to Fuyong and Shenzhen in China followed by Hong Kong. Fuyong and Shenzhen are located at the famous Pearl River Delta, an area in Guangdong province of China which is directly north of Hong Kong. Because of the close proximity with Hong Kong, the towns and cities of the Pearl River Delta are among the fastest growing in China, especially Shenzhen which has transformed itself from a small town to a modern city within a short time.

My main stay at the Pearl River Delta is in the town of Fuyong where the airport is located. This town is about 1 hour away from Shenzhen and will be the main focus of this VT page, plus I will include some simple information of Shenzhen which I only spend one afternoon. Although Fuyong is a simple and relatively unknown town as compared to Shenzhen, but it gives a better insight into the daily life of a typical small industrial town in southern China. Hope the tips and photographs will be useful to you.

This photograph shows the modern downtown area of Shenzhen, one of the most rapidly growing city in China. There are lots of shopping to do in Shenzhen, but do keep a lookout for pickpockets.
