I left my hostel in Shenzhen and headed to the train station by subway. It took me a while to find the main entrance and ticket office of the train station due to poor signs. I ended up walking along the entire rear of the station. When I did find the proper area, I found things were very efficient. It took just a minute to get my $10 ticket and then I went through an automated gate to the waiting area. Just a short wait because trains left every 20 minutes or so. I got to try one of the brand new high-speed “D” trains. They had a information display in each car and the train got up to 200km\/h. I read even higher speed train lines are being built in the Pearl River Delta.<\/p>\n
Then I took the subway to the hostel. Pretty nice subway system here too. I’m at a hostel that overlooks the Pearl River. It is a good location. For dinner I had some la mien, hand pulled noodles.<\/p>\n
