ASIA: Guangzhou & Shenzhen

On Thursday, we packed up our things and headed for Guangzhou, China, back on the Mainland. After "Crossing the border" from China (Hong Kong) to China (Mainland), we headed to the Marriott in Guangzhou. On Friday, we had an excellent visit to P&G's facility in Huang Pu, which you heard about from Erin and Paxton... thanks guys!

On Saturday, we woke up early to head to Shenzhen for a visit to Foxconn. Maybe you've never heard of Foxconn before, but you probably use a Foxconn product every single day, as Tiphany mentioned in her post. When we arrived, we pulled through the Foxconn gates and began to drive through their campus, a 2.5 square km property that functions as its own town. There are banks, restaurants, shops, dormitories, and the plant facilities.

Incredibly, after hosting us all morning, Foxconn hosted us for a traditional Chinese lunch, with everything from sausage and eggplant to sour melon soup to fried pumpkin cakes. Delicious!
