Modern Dubai City




This is the new Dubai city. It is just next to the old Dubai city. Along this road, you can see many high raise buildings. They are less than 15 years old, and many are still under construction.


This is the old Dubai City. Guess what is the name of this hotel? It is Shangri-la Hotel. In the old city, most of the buildings are less than 10 floors, which is very contrast with the new Dubai city.


Jumeirah Beach, the famous beach in Dubai. The weather now is still considered good for us. The temperature is more or less same as in our country, which is around 30C in the afternoon. But when come to month of July - Sept, the weather will be extremely hot, which may reach 45C or even 50C. At that time, not many people will walk on the street in noon. Even at night, the weather still quite warm.


This is an artificial lagoon in Jumeirah Beach. The water is clean and you can even see fishes in the sea. Few fellows are fishing at the beach.


This is a mosque which is not very far away from the beach. I took this picture while the driver stopped in front of a traffic light. That's why can't get the focus right.


The design of the mosque is quite special, which is quite different from most of the mosque in our country.


This is one of the hotels along Jumeirah Beach. It looked like a castle. We were told by one of the locals that the decoration inside is very special. So far, we yet to have a chance to enter this hotel to have a look at it.

Goose Head, Shenzhen




This is the menu in the Watergate Novotel Hotel restaurant. Guess what is this? This is a goose head, and it is an expensive dish. I can't figure out what they actually want to eat from this dish.

SEG Plaza, Shenzhen



This is SEG Plaza. The largest electronic and computer devides trading center in Shenzhen. It was once claimed as the largest one in the world. You can find all kinds of electronic and computer software/hardware in this plaza.

I heard from some locals that it is owned by Sagem (I have seen a hand phone branded Sagem also). This is also one of the tallest bulding in Shenzhen.



This is the front door of the plaza. After I entered this building, I realize that Low Yat or Imbi Plaza in our country is too small to be compared to this one.


At the other entrance of the building, there was promotion booths in promoting computer software and hardware. There are many people stucked at this entrance.

Shenzhen Today



Today, Shenzhen has changed a lot from five years ago when I first visited. You will see many high raise building in the middle of the city. Walking along this road, the feeling is like walking in Dubai city.


This building is quite special. Because of the color of light, the building color changes.
