[quote=YINDUFFY,244963]Shenzhen is incredibly crowded and almost all residents are recent arrivals who do not have the same sense of community that older towns and cities have. However, most have brought their small-town friendliness with them. I would say that the average resident is younger in years than most big cities and so they are very active. 
Traffic is horrible and buses and taxis can sit still in traffic making you late for whatever. There are many shops and they are very competitive so you can find bargains. I have a niece who is a nurse and a sister-in-law who is the director of a school for deaf children who live in Shenzhen and they like it. It is still growing and more people are moving in. It has been a different experience for me each of the three time I visited (May,2000,:Feb.2004 and Aug.2007) 
Follow the advice that applies to visiting any big city and you should be OK. Example- don't flash cash, wear sensible clothes and shoes, but remember- always carry napkins or kleenex! Even the nicest places may surprise you by not having any toilet paper!
Good Luck![/quote]
