Today, i'd like to take everybody on a mini tour of my home sweet hometown Shenzhen. From my perspective, in the last 20 or so years, it has changed very little. But don't take my word for it, let's take a look together and see Shenzhen through my eyes.

First, a view of Shenzhen from above in a plane. This is where you'll see a key difference between Beijing and Shenzhen. As you know, the rapid industrialisation and development of Beijing has led to significant smog and pollution in the capital. As a result, you will often see a fluffy grey layer of smog blanketing the city and seemingly acting a barrier to fresh air entering in and out.

Shenzhen on the other hand, ranks as the first or second metropolis with regards to it's quality of air.

Believe it or not, I actually think the airport at Shenzhen is worth mentioning and having a look at.
There are some things you might not expect to be at these airports, especially if you're not a frequent visitor to Chinese domestic terminals.

The UFO Catcher and Mini K karaoke machines are frequently seen in airports throughout China. If you've followed my posts, you'll know I've sung a few songs recorded at these little mini K karaoke booths!

Everyone at the airport is under time constraints to catch their plane, but they will always find time to sing a few of their favourite songs to help pass the waiting time. These booths are always full. Obviously very popular.

In the shops there are these beautiful cute little music boxes for sale.

You can choose to listen to any of the models on display by pushing their corresponding number on this demo box.

A cute police dog!

Next, you can see the really spectacular architecture of the airport. This is definitely my favourite airport in all of China!

It's like taking a walk into the future.

The streamlined exterior is very impressive, it reminds me a little of a birds nest. The colour scheme is mostly light colours like white, beige or creme. The ceiling is also very high making the air flow exceptionally good and thus maintaining the good quality of air.

The whole ceiling design is like a round vault cave. Because of it's hatch style design, the interior is open to a very good amount of natural lighting.

The walls have a 3D feeling.

In the picture, the tree trunk looking sculptures are actually loudspeakers. Quite imaginative!

The airport staff are also really thoughtful. You will often see a member of staff catching the luggage as it comes out from the baggage reclaim belt. This is to stop them from falling down too fast and getting damaged.

Recycled paper is used in the toilets.

Free water dispenser.

There are various types of push trolleys. They have designed several different types allowing child seat fixtures, as well as trolleys in the shape of helicopters for the little toddlers.

In the airport, there are often displays of art as well. For instance, this metal sculpture of two horses heads.

And this is my home ! I think one special part about this area is how much vegetation and plants there are.

Please follow my footprints as I take you a walk through my home town!

Many of my old neighbours have now moved to Hong Kong, in their place we have a lot of new restaurants that are now open for business.

I remember this coconut tree from when I was little. Back then, it was this big, and now, it seems to be the same size. Not much has changed there..

This little path leads directly to the seaside. Out of nowhere, a little kitty comes out to say hello. It's like an old friend coming to greet me.

The plants here are so green and lush.

If you take a walk through this mini forest, you'll come across the Shenzhen Yacht meet. It sounds like a fun place but I've never actually gone inside before..

And finally, we arrive at the seaside. From the home where I was born and grew up, it only takes 10 minutes to walk here. It's a shame that the shallow waters that used to be here have now been filled with artificial land to build more houses.

Hope you everyone enjoyed my mini tour of Shenzhen. Stay tuned for more travel blogs about Shenzhen and many many more!

今天我想带大家去逛一逛我在深圳的老家，它在我眼里，这二十多年都没怎么变样。下面请大家跟随我一起去看看深圳的样子。先从飞机上来看看，这是北京上空和深圳上空的区别。因为北京近几年深深受到雾霾的影响，整个天空都盖上了一层灰色的棉被，感觉密不透气，把新鲜空气牢牢地挡在外面。深圳一直有着在全国数一数二好的空气质量。其实如果让我为你们介绍下深圳，它的机场其实是不容错过的题材。抓娃娃机和mini k哒的移动KTV在国内的机场随处可见。看过我之前帖子的人，应该会记得我在mini k哒ktv里steemit录了不少歌曲。虽然大家在赶飞机，移动ktv房子里还是很火爆。商场里有卖可爱的音乐盒。你想视听哪个，就可以按下对应的按钮。可爱的警犬狗狗。

接下来是最有特色的深圳机场建筑，应该是我在全中国的机场里最喜欢的。好像来到了未来的时代。流线型的外观很特别，有点像鸟巢的设计，以白色调为主很大气，屋顶很高，使得空气流通非常好。整个顶棚是圆拱形的全孔式的设计风格，让自然光很好的进入机场，亮堂通透。很有3D立体墙的感觉。图片里一个个像树枝叉的东西其实是多孔的扩音器，很有意思。机场的服务也很人性化，有时候行李从传送带垂落的时候容易摔坏，所以这个工作人员会抚一下掉下来的行李。 洗手间的再生纸。免费饮水机。各种类型的手推车，有位婴儿设定的baby椅子手推车，还有儿童坐的彩色的小汽车。机场还时常有艺术展，这次是关于马头的雕塑。

这里就是我的老家了，我家周边最大的特色就是绿色植物非常多，现在请大家跟着我的照片，走进我家乡这片绿野仙踪吧。过去的邻居不少搬家去了香港，现在这些屋子都变成了餐厅，我记得楼下这颗椰子树在我很小的时候就这么大，现在还是老样子，没有变化。从这条小路就通向海边，忽然看见一只小猫，好像是老朋友。绿色的植物长得好茂盛。走出丛林，就会看见深圳海游艇会，看上去很好玩的地方，不过我从来没有进去过。接着就走到大海了，从我出生的家走到海边只要10分钟，可惜过去浅浅的岸边已经被填埋了，为了盖更多的房子。希望大家喜欢我在深圳的旅程，之后还有更多关于深圳的故事等着和大家分享。
