Day 35 - Zhongshan Park & Jianghan Street
Today's "free & easy" is accompanied by the tour guide who followed us to Wudang Mountains. It's quite hazy during the day.
Zhongshan Park
It is a really huge park. You can see the citizens doing recreational activities there like playing the Erhu and a theme park! Roller coaster rides, Viking ship and more! I never went for those rides but went into the mirror maze. It's too easy for us. Haha!
Took a train to Jianghan Street for shopping. Jus like Singapore, we have to buy a ticket to board the train. For us, we used something like tokens. Interesting.
Shopping!
Had lunch at 真功夫 and off to shopping! China is really big! Streets after streets is all shopping centers! You can see multiple Nike and Adidas stores all over the place in one area itself.
Managed to buy a Nike Free 5.0(RMB592) and a wallet(RMB69). :) Discounts everywhere! At night, the streets are lit up nicely, and the night backdrop of the skyline is really very nice.
Reflections
I guess the theme park here is nothing compared to the one you can find in Singapore. Singapore is based on per-entry-fee while in China here is pay-per-ride. I think this theme park is based more on children as most of the stations are rather not suitable for us.
Some folks playing chap teh.
Train gantry.
Doesn't this looked like those you see in Singapore?
I never knew that there is a shop named after me. Haha! ZR!
The Nike shoe that I bought!
The wallet that I bought!
