[quote=GUEST64630,359116]Stay away from parks and non public areas after dark.Behave like you would in any big city..act like you know what you're doing and know where you are going...don't act like a lost tourist.China is "the land of opportunity", give a thief the opportunity and he will take it!
 My wife was robbed at Shenzen airport by thieves who threatened her with a knife they were operating out of Hong Kong (makes it more difficult to prosecute if they get arrested).But this was at 2 0clock in the morning during a typhoon...like I said.."opportunity"...use common sense.Only carry cash in your handbag..keep credit/bankcards emergency cash in another location on your body (shoe/socks/underwear).Don't be a hero..give your bag if they ask for it..or throw it at them and run! don't expect help from bystanders as they will be more afraid than you are! You didn't say if you are a male/female...if you are a female you are more of a target than a man would be...but using the advice I have given you ..you should have a no problems.Shenzen is a great city..good bars..good restaurants and excellent shopping for finding foreign goods...like cheese! 
 I have been to Shenzen many times as well as other cities in China and have never had any problems.Remember listen to your "little voice" inside you...if something/someplace/someone doesn't feel right get out there as quckly and calmly as possible....enjoy your trip![/quote]
