Hello everybody,
I just came back from Shenzhen 2 days ago, and it was very cold over there, 10degree Celcius! I think everyone should know by now, China is having one of the worst winter this year. Normally, Shenzhen is not this cold but temperature was dropping everyday.
As usual, I wore the wrong clothes again! When I was in Shenzhen last month, I wore clothes that are too thick, and I felt hot coz the temperature was 22degree Celcius! Now, I wore a thin cotton jacket, and I was freezing the moment I stepped out of the plane!!
Luckily, I did not really have to go out in the open, as I mostly stayed indoors except the short while when I stepped out of the airport, into the car, and stepped out to walk to the factory.My host in Shenzhen brought me to a restaurant in Hai Shang Tian Yuan for dinner. Hai Shang Tian Yuan is a tourist attraction situated in Bao'an district, west of Shajing, 20mins drive to Bao'an International Airport. This resort is seldom mentioned in the travel itineraries as it is not very popular. I only found some information about the resort in the below Chinese websites. The resort in Chinese:
深圳海上田园风光旅游区

The above 2 pictures were taken from the above websites, coz I didn't have the chance to take pictures. When I reached the restaurant, it was 6.30pm, and was dark already. The restaurant has a big dining hall which can seat 300 people, an open outdoor area for steamboat and individual VIP rooms shaped like small wooden huts like the ones in the pictures.
We had our dinner in one of those wooden huts, overlooking the lake, very beautiful scenery. Outside, I saw many customers enjoying their outdoor steamboat dinner. They are wearing winter coats eating their steamboat, ha ha! At night, the temperature dropped to 6degree Celcius! I am very lucky not to catch a cold!
Well, after this trip, I resolved to always bring an extra jacket everytime I travel, be it hot or cold weather as reported in the weather forecast.
Be back soon!
