Shenzhen Fairy Lake Botanical Gardens
Your first destination in is the Shenzhen Fairy Lake Botanical Garden, famous for its diverse flora and stunning landscaping. The verdant ground is home to 6,500 species of plants, and your senses will delight in the magnolia, bamboo trees, cacti, aquatic plants, orchids and many others! Stroll past the stunning bamboo passage, admire the Bonsai Garden and relax as you sit in the pavilion by the lake.
Next, head over to the Terracotta Warriors Exhibition. The Terracotta Warriors is a collection of sculptures that depict the army of Emperor Qin, the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty (221-207 BC). Originally buried near Xi'an with the emperor to guard his empire in the afterlife, some of the army was shipped to Shenzhen for exhibition purposes.
Enjoy a delicious Chinese lunch and then start your shopping extravaganza at a silk product factory outlet, where you will find a variety of silk products. The highlight of the tour is four hours of shopping at the Lo Wu Commercial Shopping Mall. Test your bargaining skills as you explore the 1,500 shops in this five-story glass building. Find everything you've ever imagined including watches, handbags, shoes, electronics, clothes and much more!
Return by first-class train back to Hong Kong, where your tour ends at Tsimshatsui in Southern Kowloon. You will need to make your own way back to your hotel.

The tour was exactly as described. The Fairy Gardens was definitely a highlight, however the hard sell at the Silk outlet and Terracotta warrior museum were a bit much. The shopping at Lo Wu was great with good bargains and excellent quality. Young Mark (the guide) was very knowledgeable and a great communicator, funnty too. Overall it was a fun day with a nice group.

The tour was very well organized and top marks to Don and Mark - especially for his sense of fun and humour, wit and Aussie 'speak'. Good on ya mate! The lunch was excellent as well. We will highly recommend this tour to all our family and friends.
