Travelling to Shenkuu?


by doorbell_dog

--------

Thinking of traveling to Shenkuu this year? You're up for a treat. Instead of the normal, ordinary places that we EXPECT to be discovered, this is a land completely, outrageously and totally different!!! The treacherous looking rope bridges which swing back and forth, the pointy roofs, the friendly and helpful inhabitants of this land, the many various shops which are always selling something very unexpected, the amazing wildness of the incorrupt landscape, and last but not least, at the right hand corner you will find the legendary ship that we are all talking about, the Cyodrake's Gaze... This place is not for the faint-hearted. Well, if you have visited the spectacular land of Shenkuu, this is what you would certainly find.

Up high, in the rugged and mountainous terrain north of Altador is the very unexpected land of... SHENKUU! It was unknown to us Neopians for many centuries on end, until, as we all should know, the long-awaited arrival of the Cyodrake's Gaze at Krawk Island.

Shenkuu is an extremely influential merchant town bustling with activity and bartering. The rare, mysteriously handsome petpets, exotic foods, the-best-at-hand battle weapons, a heart-stopping game of Kou-jong and something quite like the island faerie's cooking pot! The colourful people, all willing to lend you a hand, makes it an experience you'll never forget.

Its freshness and youth gives us all the chance to explore and satisfy our heart's thirst for adventure. Any spare time you have can be invested safely by taking a trip to this glorious land. I guarantee that you will dazzled by the friendly town folk who never stop talking. The purity and innocence of the ever clear blue sky draping above this realm with white, dreamy clouds are heart stopping. The treacherous, dark valleys dent this region with mystery and danger. The treetops are a dark green blanket almost scraping the sky with their majesty. Oceans and seas are also not a rarity. They are plentiful with fish and wildlife, teeming with life.

In the wide, bustling marketplace, there are a wide range of items to choose from. They come from all four corners of the globe by everything from traveling sojourners to lost camels. Come quickly!! The shopping here gives you a rush like no other. Come on ladies, you know you want to... It's a girl's heaven. Because of the rarity of objects here, they tend to run out of stock at an astonishing rate!! The adrenalin rush you will receive from your trip here will be worth your while...! It doesn't matter what kind of a personality you have. Whether you are hot or good tempered, sweet or sour, calm or adventurous, Shenkuu has it all!! With this much activity going on, there is no way that you will ever need to go any place else for a getaway.

This town is growing by the minute. People are flocking there in such a rush that it is difficult to believe that it is happening right before your eyes. Buildings are being built by skilled masons; trees are being felled and made into furniture by heavily muscled carpenters; the interiors of houses are being designed by the greatest of designers... Soon... you perhaps will discover your dream wish has come true once you have been there. Perhaps it is that baby paintbrush that is just outside of your budget range, a glistening codestone that will top off your large collection in the gallery or maybe even a rare book that has never been seen before. It is such a quickly multiplying town that soon (you never know) we may discover a paintbrush that they can call their very own, a new breed of Neopet maybe, or petpet, or even outrageously, petpetpet!!

Here's a quick summary of all the shops:

Remarkable Restoratives:

It is the medicine shop of Shenkuu. It sells natural medicine that can cure your pet faster than you can say, "I love Neopets!" There is a old, friendly, always-ready-to-help Ruki there to help you choose the correct cure for your Neopet.

Fanciful Fauna:

This is the petpet shop of Shenkuu. It sells petpets that you can never find anywhere else! The petpets come in all shapes and sizes, so you can choose which one you think your pet will like the best. There is also a friendly Koi who will help you choose the petpet of your pet's dream.

Exotic Foods:

This shop sells the exquisite and exotic foods of Shenkuu. It sells food special to Shenkuu only! You'll be surprised at the number of foods you can choose from, but hurry; they run out fast! The shop attendant is a confused looking Nimmo (I hope he knows what he's doing!) who will choose the right food for your tastebuds!

Wonderous Weaponry:

This shop definitely sells wonderous weaponry! From swords, daggers and bow and arrows, it sells EVERYTHING you need to win a Battledome game with someone.

There is a helpful Shoyru there to guide you to the weapon of your dreams! This is the motto of his shop: "The strength of a warrior does not depend on his weapon, yet a warrior is not strongest without a weapon of quality."

Culinary Concoctions:

This is unfortunately no shop. It is, however, something exactly like the island faerie's cooking pot!! You will definitely have fun mixing and matching items until you get something unexpected! This is guaranteed!

Kou-Jong:

This is also unfortunately no shop, but it is a start to a fun and exciting game! You should come to a room twinkling with tiles of all patterns and colours. There should be a kind Kougra there waiting for you to play her game.

Well that is all of Shenkuu but I'm sure that there is definitely still more to be discovered in the vast, untouched scenery. Who knows what you might find there? A tomb? A treasure chamber? Or even a new species of Neopet or petpet! Shenkuu is a land bursting out just waiting to be discovered. It's full of danger, excitement and heart-stopping adventure. The door is wide open, just waiting for someone like you, to step through. Will you be the one to uncover the mystical secrets of this flawless land? Shenkuu's door of danger, excitement and never-ending adventure is wide open... Will you be able to take up the challenge?
