This assignment is about places that
I have visited. I have chosen the places
that I have ever visited in China. China
has so many beautiful places to visit and it is an unforgettable journey for
me.
I would like to share with you my
journey in China. When I was at the first year of Junior High School, I moved
with my family to China and lived in Shekou, Shenzhen. I lived in Shenzhen for 3 years. I lived in a spacious apartment with my
father, my mother, my 2 brothers and my grandmother. It was really a great opportunity for me to
have experienced living in a different country rich with culture. I am so blessed that I have lived in this
wonderful country. I went to so many beautiful
cultural places in China. When I was living there, not many
Chinese were able to speak English. I
had to learn Chinese language - speaking and writing. To be able to speak basic Chinese is
important when you are living in China, especially if you are a Moslem. In China, most of the restaurants serve pork
and therefore I had to learn the basic Chinese to ensure that there were no pork
in the food that I ordered.
Shekou, Shenzhen is close to Hong
Kong and Macau. You can easily go to Macau or Hong Kong by car, bus or
ferry. However, if you go to Hong Kong,
you will need to obtain a Hong Kong visa.
Hong Kong is a special administrative region and hence the
administration is different to mainland China.
The other thing that I loved about
living in Shenzhen, was because of the very convenient public transportation
especially the subways. I could easily
go from one place to another in Shenzhen using subways.
China is a huge country and has lot
of beautiful cultures. I loved going to museums and cultural parks in China as
the cultural parks there tells you the history of China. Some of the great, amazing and beautiful
places that I have ever visited while I was living in Shekou, Shenzhen are as
follows:
ShenZhen Windows of
the World
The number
one destination to visit when in Shenzhen.
I spent 10 hours there to visit all the attractions and parks. It was really an unforgettable day.
Shenzhen’s Windows of the
World has lots of miniatures or replicas of landmarks of different
countries. It was amazing to see key
attractions of the world in one place. The
park is divided into continents; such as Asia, America, Europe and Africa. You can see the miniatures of Big Ben, Eiffel
tower, Taj Mahal, Borobudur temple, Angkor Wat, etc in one place. I especially liked the replica of the Eiffel
Tower. We can go up the highest peak of
the Eiffel Tower replica with the elevator and see all Shenzhen. Shenzhen
Windows of the World is a perfect tourist destination for people of all ages. It is really recommended to take
pictures. I went there few times and I
never got bored.
Happy Valley
of ShenZhen
I went there with my friends two
times and each time we went there, we had a lot of fun and really enjoyed our
time there. All the attractions were so
much fun! The American style fast cars
was the best. The aqua park was nice. There were a lot of places to eat and drink
there. If you are looking for a place to enjoy amusement parks with fun
sensations or surprising playgrounds, this is the right place. Awesome place, a must visit tourist
destination if you are in Shenzhen, China. The rides were amazing and fun.
Chinese
Folk Culture Village
This Chinese folk culture village is
a MUST SEE place in Shenzhen. You can
see and learn the entire history of old China.
Here you can see and learn the entire history of China under one
roof. There are Chinese cultural dances,
Ancient Chinese warrior fights and the traditional Chinese way of living. Many elements of Chinese cultures can be seen,
either as buildings, mini parks or shows. There is a small train that will take
you to all of these places and it will stop wherever you want to. I like to look around in this area. It gives
me so many insights of China culture whether the dancing or the panorama of
Chinese landscape. Do not forget to
visit Chinese Folk Culture Village during your trip to Shenzhen.
Splendid
China Park
Splendid China is an amazing walk
through some of China's most important towns and cities. Located in Nanshan,
approximately 20-30 minutes from Shekou, this beautifully sculptured park is
really worth a visit. Each of the miniature towns have been superbly recreated
in detail and set within a natural and realistic backdrop. I really enjoyed seeing many buildings and
statues. A good insight of the culture of China. It is in nice, relaxed and enjoyable area. I really love this park. It’s massive with many attractions. Managed
to watch the horse-riding battle and also many cultural performances.
ShenZhen
Museum
If you like museums, you must visit
this place while you are in Shenzhen. It
is very beautiful with the most amazing architectural building. Here you can see ancient China, history of
Shenzhen, beautiful Shenzhen landmarks, animals from China. It’s a a one step to know Chinese culture
closely!
DongMen
and Luohu Commerical City (Lo Wu Shopping Plaza)
Dong Men and Luohu are two of the
great places for shopping. You cannot even imagine how cheap the costs are as
long as you know how to bargain. I went
to Dong Men every weekend with my friends.
It was one of our favorite place for shopping in Shenzhen. We easily went there by subway. There were so many street foods and the stuff
sold in Dong Men are really cheap. I was
addicted to go shopping there. My mom
however loved to go to Luohu for shopping. Both places offer cheap prices for so many
products but Dong Men was more crowded than Louhu. That was why my mom liked to
go to Luohu instead of Dong Men. If you visit Shenzhen, those are the right
places to go shopping and buy souvenirs with really good prices.
OCT East
ShenZhen
It's
a large park situated within the mountain area of Shenzhen. You need two days
to fully explore. Things I liked there were lots of different rides, e.g. train,
cable car, etc. It is definitely
recommended for family visit because you can find everything you want: restaurants,
cafes, famous grocery chain stores, local shops, western shops, relaxing
outside seats, inside seats, fountains, boats, etc. Everything for having a nice day out.
Dafen Oil Painting Village
This is a nice place to visit for
people who love arts. You will be blown away with the talent that is within
these streets when it comes to the oil paintings they produce. I loved visiting
Dafen Oil Painting village. A small village where you see painters everywhere
painting imitation oil paintings, yet, prices can defer greatly between
different stores.
China is one of world’s largest
country and one of the most wonderful country that has a lot of cultures. Shenzhen, China has so many interesting places
to visit and amongst them are those that I mentioned above. I recommend China as the destination for vacation.
China is rich of many beautiful sights, breath-taking
landscapes, rich history and cultures, amazing markets and exciting products
and the most important thing, China’s delicious street food. People definitely must visit China,
particularly Shenzhen J
