I bought a couple of unusual products whilst in Shenyang one of them being a cucumber peeler which looked very much like a giant pencil sharpener. This produces delicate slivers of cucumber which you can then put on your face for an instant refreshing facial mask………..I bought this from a street seller close to Marshal Zlang’s Mansion.

The kindly female vender gave out a lot of pieces of cucumber to try on the face….obviously lots of hilarious selfies, laughs and fun ……and yes particularly refreshing in a hot and humid Shenyang summer…..£1.50 well spent me thinks! Well perhaps I should let you be the judge of that! The Grey Traveller is hoping to reduce the wrinkles!
