tea and colored lights

The gala "Tea" stage show at OCT East in Shenzhen, China.

Overseas Chinese Town (OCT) in Shenzhen, China has opened a location in the east of the mega-city. Near the beach and deep in the mountains, the tea-themed holiday park offers visitors a number of interesting escapes from the daily grind.

The daily gala show at OTC East, on the history of tea and tea zen, is something to behold. Grand costumes, dancing, and a giant multi-media screen make the trek across the city worthwhile.

    Wonderful colors.

    I’d love to visit a tea-themed park. I’m a big fan of tea (and probably drink far too much of it).

    Someway, somehow I will drop the phrase ‘tea zen’ into every conversation I have for the next week or so.

  13. Robin: I like tea, but unfortunately, drinking more than a cup or two makes me quite ill. A theme park, of me, is better than drinking it.

    m727: That’s a must. You’ll be admired by all.
