Coming to Shenzhen? Whether to live or for a short trip, these are the top must-see attractions, shopping destinations, and things to do when visiting Shenzhen. I’ll break them up into categories starting with nature and then, history, theme parks, shopping, look-outs, and finish up with Arts & Culture. Nature   At first glance, Shenzhen seems to be not much more than a modern metropolis, but a short metro/bus ride can take you to see the many amazing natural attractions it also offers. Here are five highlights Lychee Park (荔枝公园) – Address: 1001 Hongling Mid Road, Futian District  深圳福田区红岭中路1001号 Shenzhen Xianhu Fairy Lake Botanical Garden (仙湖植物园) –Read More →

As one of the top shopping destinations in Shenzhen, Huaqiangbei Commercial Street (华强北) is renowned for its electronics markets, but it also has plenty to offer those looking for men’s and women’s fashion. The shopping area starts where Huaqiang North Road (aka Huaqiang Bei Lu) intersects with Shennan Middle Road and then all the way north through to Hongli Road totaling about 1km in length. Recently revitalized after 4 years of construction work, Huaqiangbei Road is now a modern pedestrian-friendly shopping mecca that is mirrored by an underground mall stretching the same distance, the largest of its type in China. The side streets and the streets runningRead More →

Tagged: futian, mtr: GouWuGongYuan, skyscrapers

At 592.5 meters tall, the Ping’an Finance Tower (PAFC – 平安国际金融中心) is a new must-see on a trip to Shenzhen. Located in Futian CBD near to Coco Park, the new megatall skyscraper takes over as the city’s tallest building from KK100 which stood at 443.8m. Originally designed as a 660-meter-high Ping An Financial Center, the final height was reduced to under 600 meters above sea level due to the hight limits for aviation safety. Phase 2 which is the second tower at 290 meters is expected to be completed this year while the main tower has begun leasing and trial operation with the observation deckRead More →

It could be Shenzhen’s best-kept secret, while well-known for its trade and commerce, the city also holds some of China’s top beaches and what may one day become one of the country’s top coastal tourism destinations. Shenzhen’s Dapeng Peninsula offers a nature escape difficult to find elsewhere including beaches, ancient architecture, geopark, and more. Dapeng Peninsula faces Daya Bay to the east and borders Huizhou to the west, Dapeng Bay to the west, and the South China Sea to the south. The large area offers 18 large and small beaches with the highlights of those listed further below. Some are popular with surfers, paddle boarders andRead More →

Once an industrial area, OCT Loft has been transformed into a base for creatives with many artists in residence located in this very hip leafy peaceful space. Along with galleries and artists at work you’ll find a large array of restaurants, cafes, coffee shops and even a few bars. It’s not uncommon to catch live music here and twice a month, on the first and third weekend there is T Street Creative Market where you connect with local artists and even buy their works. If you want to escape the hustle, bustle, non-stop noise of the city, then this is the easy go-to place. SetRead More →

OCT Harbour (originally OCT Bay) is fast becoming one of Shenzhen’s top destinations for leisure, dining, and shopping. Actually, I think it probably has the potential to build a reputation well beyond Shenzhen considering the level of investment. It’s also on my list of must-see places on a Shenzhen trip. OCT Bay is located in Nanshan District of Shenzhen close to the well-known Window of the World theme park and the several other attractions that feature in this area which include Happy Valley, Splendid China, and Holiday Plaza. The OCT Bay development covers a staggering 1.25million sqm and features a large shopping mall, a lake, a beach,Read More →
