It was 7 pm by the time we left the tourist attraction and took a number of photos outside as well. Only the Louvre is situated outside the complex.

We were feeling hungry and decided to have dinner at KFC as it is the nearest eatery outside Window of the World. We then took the metro to Lao Jie Station for shopping as Dong Men Walking Street is above the station.

The advanced signboard to guide passengers on their exact location and the route of the train

Shenzhen Metro and Hong Kong MTR & KCR are more advanced compared to Singapore's MRT as they have light indicators to show which side of the door is opening, light indicators to show the next station, and louder speaker systems to make sure everyone can hear the announcements before every station.

We walked around Dong Men Walking Street and there are quite a lot of shopping centres and shopping streets. The shopping scene is bustling but has fewer people compared to the incredibly packed and the immensely crowded Hong Kong shopping districts.

Most of us bought some clothings except me as i did not have anything much to buy. The clothings and food are all rather cheap though. Edwin got an 'Oakley' bag that is almost identical to the much more expensive original for around (S$30). Jim and Gs got a pair of soccer jersey shorts and set respectively, while Shiqi got a pair of shoes. We also bought some cheap socks for only (S$0.20) a pair as some of us did not bring sufficient pairs of socks.

We got ourselves bubble tea for only (S$0.40) although the taste is not as good as the bubble tea i drank in Hong Kong. Some of the shops started closing after 9.30 pm and we decided that it is almost time to head back to Hong Kong. After browsing some more shops and asking for the directions back to the metro, we headed back to Lo Wu Station.

After crossing the customs, it was another 40 minutes ride on the train back to Mongkok Station. We reached our Dragon Hostel at around 11.30 pm and we were all rather tired from the walking and travelling all day long.
