Shenzhen Shekou Bite-Sized Adventure: 2-Hour Global Food Crawl

The trip was great! Cool schedule, amazing food, and I learned heaps about Shenzhen's past and its food scene. The guru had these fun games that made learning the history and picking up some Chinese way easier. She used Guangdong's unique dishes to tell us all about traditional Chinese medicine – super interesting!

The tour guide was very knowledgeable about humanities and history. She explained the history and culture of Guangdong to us, detailing the local customs, lifestyle habits, and historical background and reasons behind the unique dietary habits of the people in Guangdong. She also talked about the ingredients and production processes of the delicious dishes, giving each dish a soul and meaning. We tasted the unique and delicious Cantonese cuisine and heard historical stories about Guangdong and Shenzhen. The guide also took us to the local market, where we got to know various ingredients and seasonings. We even visited the Sea World, which is a fusion of Chinese and Western cultures, and it's very beautiful. The guide showed us what this place looked like twenty years ago, and it was really stunning! The guide shared with us the daily lives of the locals: work, healthcare, education, housing, income, etc., allowing us to gain a more direct understanding of the real life of Chinese people. Today has truly been a wonderful journey, and I suggest you don't miss this experience when coming to Shenzhen.
