[quote=GAZ07 ,13197]Commiserations on your poor decision to go to Shenzhen. It's a soulless, machine of a city that lacks any real culture (unless "get-rich-quick" can be considered a culture?) and definately does NOT represent China. That said, i will concentrate on the positives:-SIGHTS - Splendid China & Folks Village is worth a look as a quick view of Chinas culture and sights. Bit tacky though as its all just recreation to be fair. Minsk World wasn't bad, an old Soviet aircraft carrier to look around. NIGHTLIFE - unless your into Cabarets and other tired nightlife, you might be struggling in Shenzhen. Check out Shekou, it's "nice" rather than exciting, so go with a friend.There's pretty good architecture on display (and a lot more that are half built!).HONG KONG - it's just a subway ride away and is simply one of the most incredible, diverse cities on earth. The skyline is unmatched anywhere else in the world, the east-meets-west culture is great and its ultramodern city mixed with countryside is breath-taking!Guangzhou, Macau and South-west China are close by which are all nice places for one reason or another.Remember, best way to get the best out of a place, ASK THE LOCALS! They will enjoy the conversation in english, and you will know where to go.Shenzhen is a funny place regarding language too, its in Guangdong and so they would normally speak Cantonese, but as everybody migrated there a lot speak manderin. So which do u learn? i dont know!All the best.Gaz[/quote]
