After Hong Kong, it was back over to DongGuan. I rarely make my stay in Shenzen anymore as its expansive and there's always a jam getting out in the mornings and coming back in the evenings. Over the last 5 years development has spread out to various cities around DongGuan, like Chang-An, Hou Jie and Chang Ping (which has a direct train to Hong Kong). Hotels are new and plentyful.

Good friends and great hospitality in Chang Ping as usual. Our host brought us to the Mao House (Mao Jia). Every dish is cooked with red chillies. Apparently this was Mao's favourite type of food!
I enjoyed it, but the next few mornings thereafter was a little uncomfortable. The table was spread with colorful dishes adorned in red chillies. My favourite was probably the fried anchovies with red chillies.
