[quote=GHOST,496960]I'm not in Shenzhen and am a little surprised no-one has responded to this post yet... But I think I can answer your questions.

1. There are always many apartments available to rent, much will depend on your budget. Will you stay in a hotel for the first few days while you look for somewhere to rent? If so, find one of the many housing/real-estate agents in the area to help you find an apartment.

2. Shenzhen is hot and humid in the summer. You can do a search online and find typical weather temperatures.

3. Yes, you can use credit cards in China. Most international branded hotels will accept them as will some supermarkets and restaurants - but not all.

4. If you're planning to get paid you will need a Chinese bank account and can probably arrange for a credit and/or debit card from the bank. Different cities and regions have their own banks so ask what is a popular one for Shenzhen once you arrive.

5. The local government hospital will probably have an international clinic with English-speaking staff (you will need to check if that's true) which you can use for health-checks and there will be various (and more expensive) private healthcare options available. You are close enough to go to Hong Kong for any non-emergency treatment.
