The vlogger welcomes viewers to Shenzhen and heads out at lunchtime to find a cheap meal of around $2. The rain has stopped, so he walks to a local restaurant where food is quick and cheap. He picks from a small choice of dishes, including chicken, pumpkin and a mushroom dish, passes on the soup and pays 16 yuan. He washes his spoon and chopsticks with hot water, then eats. He likes a chili and garlic condiment on the rice but says it is oily, finds one extra salty, and is disappointed that the pumpkin is raw in the middle. He calls the lunch good value because $2 gives a huge amount of food. A staff member then offers him more dishes to try for free, including a stuffed dish, a cold gooey item and fried shrimp. He says he has visited before and thinks the attention comes from his camera, not from being a foreigner. He finishes and says today was not the best experience, mainly because of the pumpkin. Looking for a drink, he finds a hidden street food area with a lot of bread and snacks and a shop selling affordable gua sha tools and brushes. He buys sugarcane juice, paying 10 yuan for a half-liter bottle. He then walks 10 to 15 minutes to a quiet, green park in light rain, passes a rose garden that is not blooming, tries a barefoot rock path and looks at outdoor workout stations with pull-up bars, rings, monkey bars and battle ropes. His last stop is a bakery where he buys two baked flatbreads, watches the baker slap dough onto the oven wall, meets another traveler and finishes back in his hotel room.
