Splendid China

Last weekend I went to Shenzhen for a visit. I took the MTR to Lo Wu and then rode on the Shenzhen Metro.

I went to Shenzhen to visit a theme park. It is called Splendid China and it has many of the famous sights from all over China. The famous sights and places are miniature versions of the real thing.
I saw things like the Great Wall of China and many carvings and beautiful buildings.

Splendid China also has a Folk Cultural Village where it has all the people who live in China and their special houses, buildings, food and way of life. It is very interesting.

I also had some Jasmine tea in a traditional Tea House and saw some horses, goats and ducks in the park.

Splendid China is a beautiful place and there is lots of things to see and learn about there. I enjoyed my visit very much.

Shek O

On Saturday it was a lovely day so I decided to visit Shek O village and beach.
I had not been there before but people have told me that it is a lovely place.
The village has many shops selling things for people to use at the beach such as beach umbrellas, beach mats and even boards for using in the waves. There are also many restaurants in the village and I had lunch at a restaurant which is right on the beach!

I went swimming and the water was very warm, there were some waves but they were not too big.
There were many people at the beach and some of them were preparing for the lantern festival later in the evening.

I enjoyed my visit to Shek O and I think that you should visit too with your family.

Two Holidays in One Week.

This week we are very lucky to have National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival.

National Day this year is the 60th celebration for China and there have been many different events before 1st October. On Thursday there will be carnivals and fireworks at night.
I am looking forward to the fireworks the most, Hong Kong has amazing fireworks displays and I can see them from my apartment.

If you would like to see what is happening on National Day, check this website:

I hope the weather is fine on Saturday for Mid-Autumn Festival otherwise we won't be able to see the full moon.

What are you going to do on these two holidays?
