We woke up at 7.30am and the weather was cloudy. We bought a 9.03am train ticket from Shenzhen to Guangzhou through trip.com (Price - ¥ 99.10 per person for the premium ticket, including the RM 14 processing fee). Shenzhen Railway Station is a short walk from the  Shangri-La Hotel . The check-in process was really fast. There's no queue, and all we have to do is scan our passports, followed by our bags.

We had our lunch together with Ben at  Chuangshan Restaurant, which is located opposite  Guangzhou East Railway Station . I had goose with roasted pork, while my partner had chicken with BBQ pork. Roasted pork is tasty and goose is flavourful but has rubbery skin. Ben's friend joined us for lunch as well. However, we have to lea...
