    We live in NYC, a city of 8 million, far less than Shenzhen’s 17. Yet it’s unbelievable that our city is completely overrun by trash and human waste but this place is totally spotless. There’s not a single subway car here that doesn’t look like it hasn’t been cleaned since 1776, encampments in and outside subway stations, etc. It’s really embarrassing to see how other cities far larger than ours are thriving yet the “best” city in the world is in clear decline.

Alternatively, you just wipe them with tissues, and their fine too. This method of washing is usually more common in traditional tea houses or dim sum restaurants, mostly of Guandong (Canton) province.

"Water Form" installation on the square in front of the ferris wheel (temporal, and removed), and 3. the LED lighting on the ferris wheel itself. If you ever come visit again, come by night time cuz we installed a sensor under the water, so that the LED lighting on the ferris wheel pulse and sync with the tidal waves!

    When dining in tea restaurants in Guangdong Province, Hong Kong and other places, there will be a habit of ironing tableware. The method is to put the tableware in a large bowl and pour it with hot tea to disinfect it. Regarding Huaqiangbei, there are many fake electronic products in it, some of which are real, but you need some knowledge to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of electronic products to find the electronic products you want at a low price.

    17:00 Tea itself is a very good cleaner. You can even use it as shampoo to wash the oil off your hair. In the past, before the sanitizing dish washing machine exist, people were cautious whether the restaurant really did a good job cleaning the utensils, so they take the matters into their own hand and clean it with tea before using it. Now in 2024, it just an old habit hard to break away even modern kitchens have used debacterialized dish washing machine, some people still rinse it themself before using it.

    About how to wash/disinfect your tableware, yes that big bowl is to store the tea used. And the tea is totally drinkable. But if you gets more technical here, the first pot of tea is usually passed (because it’s the first and there is supposed to be some dust with the tea leaf, expected to be washed away in the first pot of water, and also for Chinese tea the first pot usually too bland to drink). So we would, usually use that first pot of tea to wash the tablewares🎉
