after the wonderful braised pork noodles + pig oran soup at 东贝爱面科学馆outlet.

WW brought us to 华强北 to look at the electronic goods & accesories.

a huge place, and together with laojie 老街, felt like 10x what JB city square, KSL etc areas have to offer.

& unlike our causeway & second link, going across from hong kong to shenzhen is a breeze – a 45mins MTR ride on eastern rail 东铁线 from tsimshatsui to luohu, walk across the border immigration checkpoints & take the metro from shenzhen luohu station to the various places..

after 华强北  we had an unexpectedly good lunch.

after lunch we had coffee i think at pacific coffee???

the tesla showroom was just at the other side of the square.

so we went to “kay poh” a bit…

RMB 740k, fraction of cost in singapore if tesla decided to drop by again after packing up some years back…

actually i didn’t think much of the shape & especially the interior, very average …

after coffee we went walking around 深圳东门老街laojie.

many stalls and quite many cut fruit stalls at 深圳东门老街laojie…

a really huge pedestrian area 步行街….17.6hectares of it according to baidu-

• 东门老街，全称深圳东门商业步行街区，北至立新路，南至深南路，东到东门中路，西至新园路，总占地面积17.6万平方米。古代深圳的根，在南头老城；而近代深圳的根，则在“深圳墟”。

the 深圳东门老街广场青铜大钟laojie copper bell…there is another bell on the western square-

老街东西两个广场———老街广场和时代广场，为东门老街拓展出了“呼吸空间”，购物者和市民也有了难得的现代观光场所。广场由大王椰、风信子、百合、郁金香等名贵花木和喷泉、雕塑、休闲亭组成，形成商业街独有的美丽街心风景。两个广场还分别设置了一组以时间为主题的青铜大钟雕塑，体现历史文化与现代文化的冲撞。大钟早晚会各敲响一次，早上鸣钟表现人们对新的一天的希望与祈盼，晚上鸣钟表现人们一天的辛劳与收获，体现了时间就是金钱，效率就是生命的丰富内涵。.

and there is a 青铜浮雕“东门墟市图” like a copper sculpture tourist guide map of dongmenlajie.

there were many street food stalls at DMD Food City东门町美食城 .

braised trotters, similar to korean jogbal 족발 preparation..

roti prata….

many stalls & many people.

GY bought 3 羊肉串 for us to try…not my favourite…usually too salty..

we didn’t buy other street food since we planning to go for a nice seafood dinner.

after DMD Food City东门町美食城, we took quite a long 20mins walk over to Baofa Restaurant 宝发食馆 Leyuan Road, where we had a very nice seafood dinner…eat to full la…
