Shopping at Dongmen - Shenzhen

After spending about 3 hours at "Window of the World", we took the MTR to "Laojie" station, towards Luohu direction.  I had read from some forums that "Dongmen" in this area is a great place for shopping.  We reached Dongmen at around 3.30pm.
This was the first shopping mall that we entered.  At first, we were thinking:"Huh?  Dongmen is just like that ah?"

Already dead-tired and dehydrated, we dropped by MacDonalds for a burger and a drink.


After resting at MacDonalds, we walked on and only then, we discovered this place!  Still, fast-food restaurants like KFC, Pizza, Ajisen, Cafe de Coral etc seem to dominate this place.






Modern Toilet Restaurant has a branch here too!
Managed to buy 3 pairs of shoes at Dongmen and hubby managed to buy a couple of T-shirts here.  If you are not fussy, you may be able to buy more.


 Hubby's dinner at Fairwood, another fastfood chain that can be found in Hong Kong too.

Window of the World 世界之窗 - Shenzhen

From Luohu station, we took the Shenzhen MTR to "Window of the World" MTR station.  The train ride took about 50 minutes.
No octopus card to be used here, instead the ticket comes in the form of a green token.
Reached "Window of the World" MTR station.
Louvre Pyramid, Paris
Cost RMB140 for the admission ticket.  We spent about 2 and a half hour to tour the whole place before we went to Dongmen for some shopping.  It is advisable to wear comfortable footwear as you have to do a lot of walking and may have to walk on uneven footpaths.  Leave your heels behind!
