Hi everyone,
I'm back to blog on Shenzhen this time. Shenzhen is very similar to Guangzhou or Hong Kong, highrise commercial buildings and apartments all over the city. Shenzhen is booming now with constructions ongoing at many places and the price of real estate has risen as well.
My friend who is living in Shenzhen told me that her friend made a good profit from selling one of her apartments over there. Well, if you have bought an apartment a few years ago, you will definitely make a nice profit if you sell it now.
Back to my topic on the city metro system, well, it is very advance and comparable to the Hong Kong metro. For those like myself who does not read or write Chinese, there are Hanyu Pinyin luckily. Every station name is labelled in Chinese and Hanyu Pinyin so you will know which station you want to go to. The trains are air-conditioned, clean and comfortable. If you do not want to be stuck in the traffic, the metro is a very good way of transportation within the city and it is very cheap as well. Cost of travelling to one station is only RMB 2.00!
One thing I must point out is the exit signage, they are all in Chinese! No English or Hanyu Pinyin! Same goes for the map signage in the station as well. So, you either ask around for which exit to use or in my case, I use my half-passed Chinese vocabulary figuring out the place which I want to go at the map signage! Ha! Ha! Lucky for me, I manage to find my way around! Very impressed with myself, actually!
Well, one thing for sure, I must really work on my Chinese or increase my Chinese vocabulary since I will be travelling to Shenzhen and Guangzhou frequently. Otherwise, I will definitely be 'LOST in TRANSLATION'!
Signing off now! Be back soon!
