Maps

Here is a collection of useful maps showing attractions, districts, transport services and more, plus, links to online map services and useful APPs for visiting Shenzhen. To use Google map services you’ll need a VPN service but I have a few tricks to share on that point.

China-based map services

Google Maps – you will need a VPN to access Google services but, you can get access to the Chinese version of Google Maps at google.cn/maps.

The online map service most commonly used in China is Baidu, here is the link to the Baidu Shenzhen Map another is Tencent QQ Map service and Amap.

They also offer street view, and routing services, but, all in Chinese yet its surprisingly useable for identifying bus routes/metro routes etc.
