Shenzhen 1 Day Trip

Spending a Saturday at Shenzhen with an ex-colleague there and a friend. We arrived SZ through Lokmachao border by train at 2pm. My SZ friend drove us directly to taste the Hangzhou cuisine until 4pm. We kept talking while eating, mostly about our works and the bad. Then we met a traffic jam on the highway and finally arrived DaFang Painting Village. We went directly to buy the leather making tools at a building, walking upstair to 9/F. We were all nearly out of breath when we reached the small rooms with a lot of leather making tools and accessories. We were all very tired after shopping and had a drink at a gallery+cafe.
DaFang Village is less interesting than I expected. Maybe I did not have enough time to pay a visit. Anyway, I finally bought some painting colors and pens and had our dinner at an Anhui restaurant called 醉翁亭.

Although the dishes we ate were not very special but there are a lot to explore next time, I wish.
I was completely exhausted when I got off at the border of HuangGang where was under renovated and needed to walk a very long way to arrive at the immigration counter. I was almost dead at 11:30pm at home but it was nice to meet the old friend and ate so much good food. A Wonderful day.
