		</div><p>It has been almost 2 years since I last travelled to Shenzhen. I used to visit Shenzhen while transit over Hong Hong for the Consumer Electronics Fair held twice a year in Apr and Oct.</p>
<p>Well, this trip came at quite a last minute when the thought arises from one of my friend. As we have not met each other for the past 2 years, thought it will be good for a meet up for old times&#8217; sake.</p>
<p>This is more of those bro&#8217;s gathering that prompted me to join.</p>
<p>What I misses most is the food and massage, so these are additional push factor for this trip too. ð</p>
<p>I decided to fly in direct to Shenzhen Bao An Airport (for this trip of mine) instead of via Hong Kong which is my usual travel route since this being a super short trip, I do not wish to incur additional time on travelling.</p>
<p>As usual, started my trip with an anticipated meal at TGM Lounge.</p>

<p>Tempura Bento Set &#8211; An assortment of deep fried seafood &; vegetables served with miso soup</p>
<p>Always love the great dining experience before boarding.</p>

<p>Time to depart&#8230;..</p>
<p>Flight was delayed due to heavy rain as cargo handler has to stopped cargo loading activities for safety reasons. Well, that&#8217;s part &; parcel of travelling. Stay cool and enjoy a relaxing time on board flight.</p>
<p>Arrived safely into Shenzhen airport. Hotel was just 2 MTR stops away from Shenzhen Airport Station.</p>
<p><img class="wp-image-7942 alignnone size-full" src="https://suanmeizai.blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/20190412_192810.jpg" width="4032" height="3024"></p>
<p>From there, it is another 10 to 15 mins leisure stroll before reaching the hotel (æ°è±ªçåºé åº).</p>
<p><img class="wp-image-7943 alignnone size-full" src="https://suanmeizai.blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/collagemaker_2019411184738953.jpg" width="1980" height="1980"></p>
<p>Room is super spacious at reasonable rates. Best part, it is owned by a friend of mine. ð</p>
<p>There is a couple of good foot reflexology joint in Fuyong (ç¦æ°¸) and 大å足é is one such joint that is worth going to.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7944" src="https://suanmeizai.blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/20190411_192758_001.jpg" width="3024" height="4032"></p>
<p>It is a must to do ear cleaning and pedicure alongside the foot reflexology. It&#8217;s like having an overhaul (similar to sending in your car for servicing). ð Strictly no compromise. ð</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7945" src="https://suanmeizai.blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/20190411_225645.jpg" width="4032" height="3024"></p>

<p>Sausage and sunny side up egg add-on to go alongside for a complete meal experience (at least in my own standard).</p>
<p>Food is generally tasty and they do cater for lunch &; dinner menu too.</p>

<p>The prices here is definitely much more economical compared to back home.</p>
<p>I really enjoyed the complimentary hand care session while dining there and the service standard is way more superior compared to back home which is always the reason for my repeated visit.</p>
<p>For those who enjoys dining at æµ·åºæ ç«é , I would strongly urge you to try this outlet and let me know if you change your perspective of dining.</p>

<p>There is one place that I like to go for çé . It is at Simmer Huang (é»è¨ç). Their special recipe é ±æ± is what makes this dish ticks.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7967" src="https://suanmeizai.blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/20190413_130943.jpg" width="4032" height="3024"></p>
<p>First, the service staff will prepare the stew pot by placing the condiments and vegetables on the pot.</p>

<p>Apart from food, electronic shopping is also one of my key agenda in Shenzhen. The place that I frequent will be èµæ ¼çµåå¹¿åº at å强å as well. So usually after that, it will be followed by having a sumptious meal at æµ·åºæç«é .</p>
<p><img class="wp-image-7979 alignnone size-full" src="https://suanmeizai.blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/pt2019_04_14_18_44_53.jpg" width="1000" height="2310"></p>
<p>There are a couple of shopping malls in Shenzhen too. ä¸å·è´ç©ä¸å¿ is one of such. It is located in çµè and is conveniently connected to Lingzhi Station on Line 5 of Shenzhen Metro.</p>
<p>Another mall will be at Coco Park. You may refer to my previous blog, <a href="https://suanmeizai.blog/2017/04/03/enjoying-shenzhen-china/">Enjoying Shenzhen</a> for more read up.</p>
<p><img class="wp-image-7981 alignnone size-full" src="https://suanmeizai.blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/20190413_160433.jpg" width="4032" height="3024"></p>
<p>Right across the mall is the Lingzhi Park (çµèå ¬å). It is a nice park and you get to see the locals enjoying the day and relaxing in the park. Really care free lifestyle.</p>
<p><img class="wp-image-7980 alignnone size-full" src="https://suanmeizai.blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/20190413_160033.jpg" width="4032" height="3024"></p>

<p>Speaking about parks, there is another park, å¿çäºå ¬å near to the hotel that is scenic too. Go and check out this park if you happen to be in ç¦æ°¸.</p>
<p><img class="wp-image-7983 alignnone size-full" src="https://suanmeizai.blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/collagemaker_2019413163337405.jpg" width="1980" height="1980"></p>

<p>Unfortunately, I had to succumb to the temptation and ordered one of the beer-battered deep fried chicken set meal (å¤é ç¸é¸¡å¥é¤) to satisfy my curiousity.</p>
<p><img class="wp-image-7991 alignnone size-full" src="https://suanmeizai.blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/pt2019_04_13_16_37_33.jpg" width="1000" height="2084"></p>
