After a one-day visit of Taicheng and the village, it was time to return to Hong Kong. The return trip should have taken 4.5 hours but turned out to be 6.5 hours – the bus’ transmission died when we were crossing a bridge in Jungshan. We waited 2 hours, luckily the air was still working, until a rescue bus arrived.I took some pictures on the return trip that captured the booming development in the area around Shenzhen. Everywhere you look is construction. The last picture shows newly-built condos that has a big sign that boast “low prices” to lure people from Hong Kong and other parts of the world to buy real estate in the Shenzhen vicinity. Condos are outrageously costly in Hong Kong; an average condo with an 850 square-feet of living area costs USD $1,200,000.
