Guangzhou - Shenzhen - Hong Kong

Last Wednesday I took the train between Guangzhou and Hong Kong. It's only two hours -- quicker than flying.

The train goes through Shenzhen (I snapped some photos from the train.) 15 years ago it was a sleepy fishing village, today it's a hectic burg of 7.5 million people. It's China's richest city and the home to the erstwhile Shenzhen Cat Meatball Restaurant.
