Jane's yearly tour to explore Shenzhen huge and colourful Lunar New Year street markets:

All the Fun of the Fair in Shenzhen

The annual Chinese New Year Market reveals a colourful, friendly, lively side to Shenzhen behind the shiny high-rise towers. An entire 1-kilometre stretch of road is pedestrianised and turned into a dazzling river of orange, red and gold. In place of vehicles, four lanes of stalls are laden with flowers and colourful plants of all kinds in celebration of the Lunar New Year.

On January 27 we will travel by private cross-border coach from Pier 4 in Central, with an additional passenger pick-up at University Station (Ma Liu Shui). The New Year street market will be our destination for the morning. Then we will have a festive lunch before heading for Shenzhen’s Wholesale Plant Market. This is a gardener’s dream, a vast area filled with plants of all kinds from enormous and rare trees to dainty annuals. Cut flowers, gardening accessories and pots of all kinds are among the other attractions.

Timing: 9am depart from Pier 4, Central
9.30 depart from University Station
5pm approximately, excursion ends at Pier 4

Cost: all-in charge: $400 per person

This is one of the most enjoyable and popular excursions of the year. For more information and registration, E-mail: janetaipeng@Gmail.com.
