Day 5 - Extended Shenzhen Campus Tour (Pant)

After putting down our baggage at the 桂花苑商务公寓, we were ushered into the Lecture Hall for a briefing and forum on Contemporary Social Changes. The guest speaker was Ms Chiang Lai Yuen, CEO of Chen Hsong Holdings Limited. She sets out to even the playing field between males and females, with a pinch of feminism to add to her feisty presentation. Too much quotation from books on leadership though, her own experience would have been equally if not more suitable for the sleepy attendants.



Panoramic view of Shenzhen from the top of Science and Technology Centre.







View from another angle. Apparently a link to Hong Kong is being constructed beyond the empty space at the top left corner.


Group picture with the Science and Technology Centre as the background. See later pictures for the unique design, not visible in this shot. Smile!






Now you see the tip of it. But let's introduce the handsome/pretty people in the shot first (adds suspense!).

From left to right: Me, Sandy (talened voice that imitates commercials), Isabel (tough cookie who juggles various appointments during the Conference), 大薯 (Potato who is full of funny poses), Ken (emotional sensitive responsible... need i say more?)



Finally, the Science and Techonology Centre in its entirety! Very nice design, but kind of empty in the core.


Well, they have space in China!





Group shot! As this was one of the last places, everyone mustered a smile. Actually they must have been half-dead already. We walked from afternoon till evening!

The campus is REALLY huge. Bicycles are a must.



Here we have the living mascot, Richard of Group 2, whose name will be called out first during attendance taking.

Don't ask me why.

But we love him!



Please correct me if I'm wrong, Shenzhen OC's, but I think this is Wenshan Lake (文山湖), where a bridge connects an island to the bank.
Named after 文天祥, it offers a picturesque and serene environment for students to read or chat. Sweet!




Still not convinced? Here's another look at the area around the lake.

It is conducive for anything your mind can conceive!



Here's a worthy dinner after such a long tour: taken at 1900h sharp!

Kind of reminds me of the way food is served in army camps in Taiwan. Exercise Starlight it was called.
