On our forth day in Hong Kong, we visited Shenzhen. We went through customs to get to mainland China. It was surprisingly easy and quick. We visited a shopping mall to see what a Carrefour store looks like. Carrefour is a french international hypermarket chain. It is the largest in the world in terms of size. It is similar to a Sam's Club and Walmart. As we entered the store we were blinded by the bright yellow sale signs lining the aisles. Everything seemed to be advertised and have a "special price". The store carries everything from electronics to live frogs to home appliances to apparel. It is basically a large supermarket and department store under one roof. We were able to buy anything we forgot to pack and get snacks.
Dinner was at an amazing restaurant called Peking Garden. We were served a 10 course meal which included things like: jelly fish, Peking duck, pig's knuckle, and soup with chicken feet and eyes. It was interesting to experience such different food from what we are used to. We also got to watch our chef make the noodles from our meal from a piece of dough.
