shenzhen adventures

happy kingdom

pinoy gang invades happy kingdom
stuck in china and unable to go home to PI for the 5 day mid autumn holiday, me and other unfortunate individuals decided to do the tourist thingy. go to shenzhen's happy kingdom theme park. entrance fee is RMB120. happy kingdom is located along Shennan Road, Overseas Chinese Town,, Shenzhen, Guangdong, China. Do not, i repeat, DO NOT go there during a holiday. we waited in line for FIVE HOURS just to get to the inverted roller coaster ride. for more pictures, pls check out my travelogue.
p.s. an inverted roller coaster means a coaster that hangs beneath the tracks, allowing the legs of the rider to hang beneath the seat and swing with the motion of the ride. weeee
river trail, mt. wutong, shenzhen

mt. wutong climb

and just when i thought i wouldn't do anything crazier than wait for five hours for a roller coaster ride, i go on an indiana jones type of trekking. mt. wutong is the highest peak in shenzhen. we started hiking 830 am up the rocky river, stopped for an hour lunch break at 12 noon and continued going down very steep slopes on the other side of the mountain. by 4 PM, we finished the trail and reached the hong fa temple at the foot of the mountain. i offered prayers and incense to Buddha and prayed that I would get enlightened and stop doing these crazy things.
for more photos, pls check out my travelogue.

window of the world

one fine sunny day, the clouds went away and the pinoy gang decided to travel around the world in 7 hours..
window of the world is one of the many theme parks located in overseas chinese town in shenzhen. the park features replicas of the world's most famous landmarks from the eiffel tower to the pyramids. be sure to wear comfy shoes because youre in for a LOT of walking.
