Hush Coffee - A Quiet Spot
Hush Coffee in Shenzhen lives up to its name to a fault - it’s hushed; perfectly so.
Made the trip out on a lazy Sunday afternoon and the whole cafe had a vibe of “we’re relaxed here, leave your noise by the door” and, in a city where speed and noise characterised everything - it was perfect.
Long tables (and an outdoor area if it’s not too hot) make the place comfortable to work at with a laptop while sofa’s make it perfect for a lazy weekend reading session.
Oh, and in case it wasn’t obvious, their coffee is great, like really really good.
Just remember to leave those loud worries by the door and you’ll love it.

Interlaken Town, OCT East, Sz
It's an abandoned little town of Swiss-model like architecture. As in its just a park, no tenants, shops are all closed. Restaurants are closed. The only thing you can do is get your cameras ready and take as much selfie as you like. Seriously, the place is worn out.
Getting There - a 35mins Didi ride from CBD Futian can cost 88rmb
Attractions - Tea Stream Valley train that travels around the whole OCT East
Hotels - Interlaken hotel, and Oasis-O Hotel
Food & Restaurants - both hotels got their respective restaurants/cafeteria
In Interlaken hotel, they serve Western and Chinese cuisine
Wherein Oasis-O hotel, they serve Chinese cuisine
Shopping - buying souvenir is not much a thing here because most of the shops are closed down
I still had a good time walking around it. ❤️

Experiencing Driverless bus in Pingshan
How? How will it run without a driver?
That's basically our question. 🤔
According to the information I gathered, this "driverless program" was developed and launched by QCraft, a self-driving technology company.
Wherein this 9 seater, 5.9meters long bus operates by itself automatically. It can monitor the surrounding situation with a 200 meter radius.
These buses are designed to travel only at 20-50kilometers per hour.
Some of the stuffs these driverless buses can do;
It can avoid pedestrians and vehicles, it can change lanes, it can make turns and recognize traffic lights.
The "driver", (which is not really the driver instead a supervisor) is present infront the driver's seat to monitor the safeguard of the operation.
So try to hop on the driverless bus and experience the magic of technology. 👍
Visit Pingshan. ❤️
