This trip to Shenzhen, I just wanted to take a breath, so I temporarily chose the Shenzhen Zhongzhou Marriott Hotel in Nanshan District before leaving. I was not disappointed at all! The location is right to the heart of the city, staying there every day whether you are going to Coast City for dinner, shopping, or want to quietly enjoy the night view of Shenzhen Bay, all arrangements are extremely convenient. It’s truly a combination of views, amenities and modernity, perfect for coming back to lounge and daze.

Talking about the hotel itself, first of all the rooms are super spacious, especially the living room and bedroom separated, put all the slippers, open the curtains at night, really surrounded by the night view of Shenzhen - sometimes sitting by the bed to shake, while drinking water while watching the city lights, the mood is unbeatable. The soundproofing is done very strongly, in the room even if there is an answer next door can not be heard, at night resting while enjoying the urban view, unforgettable.

The hotel has complete facilities, the swimming pool and fitness center are of excellent quality, want to chill can swim in the pool or go to the lobby high floor at night to check in, the whole design is very big city fashion style. The landscape elevator goes up and down with high transparency, making it easy to take pictures and check-in. The lobby is spacious and bright, with professional front desk staff during check-in, meeting Edwin or other very enthusiastic staff genuinely plus, service efficiency is good, attentive explanation, making the registration process comfortable and pleasant.

Breakfast highly recommended! There were Chinese and Western options at the buffet table, the baked breakfast was great, I tried the coffee and some egg tarts, the quality was not inferior to five-star standards. If you are an executive lounge guest, the evening Happy Hour is definitely worth a try, with some amazing small dishes and desserts.

After staying for a few days, the room hygiene and environment are very clean, whether in the public area or private room, once you enter, you can smell fresh, the cleaning lady keeps very clean every day. However, if there are special hygiene requirements, you can take the initiative to speak to the front desk and they will immediately arrange for a specialist to clean up again.

Itinerary tip: It is recommended to choose high-rise rooms, excellent views, looking out at night very healing; to Coast City and Shenzhen Bay transportation is very convenient, 5-10 minutes walk, not afraid of traffic jams. Bring slippers, a thermos, and plan to stay in the room for a long time to enjoy the view.

Last booking tip, if you plan to stay at Shenzhen Zhongzhou Marriott during peak season (such as holidays, weekends), be sure to book online in advance or call to inquire whether the room type (high-rise view room) is still available, executive lounge breakfast and evening Happy Hour vouchers are high value for money. Metro and road transportation in the city is very convenient, but remember to carry ID cards when you go out in Shenzhen area, in some cases you may encounter inspections. With all the modern buildings and business districts around the hotel, to in-depth City Walk recommend going out in the evening and strolling along the coast city all the way to Shenzhen Bay Park, feeling the bustle of Nanshan and a sense of relaxation.

🛍️ Shenzhen in one night? COCO Park is where the action’s at! If you’re all about shopping, modern vibes, and food exploration—this mega mall is your go-to spot for mixing retail therapy with tasty bites.

Top Spots to Visit at COCO Park:
- COCO Park Shopping Mall (3099 Shennan Ave, Futian District, Shenzhen, open till 10 PM) is packed with global brands, indie stores, and cool pop-ups. Big mall = lots of shopping options!
- Hit the outdoor cultural landscape area 🏙️, especially after dark for a modern cityscape buzz and neon-lit photo ops.
- Check out their indoor dining zone for food galore: I grabbed bowls of noodles and legit side dishes at a cozy restaurant—so many tasty options around, from quick bites to fancier dessert spots.

Pro Tips:
- Go at night for peak atmosphere—modern architecture looks awesome lit up, and the park comes alive.
- Wear comfy shoes! This place is huge and you’ll be pounding the pavement if you want to shop everywhere.
- If you’re hungry, try local noodle spots inside the mall for an authentic Shenzhen flavor fix 🍜.
- Most shops accept cards, but Alipay/WeChat Pay is super convenient here.

Getting Around:
- Best way: Metro Line 1 to Shopping Park Station (exit D lands you right by COCO Park).
- Taxis and rideshare are easy but traffic can get wild so time your trips smart.

[Shenzhen Family-Friendly Hotel Recommendation] I just went on a family trip to Shenzhen with my kids and stayed at this international brand five-star hotel, the InterContinental Shenzhen OCT Hotel, which ranked third on Trip.com's list of family-friendly hotels in Shenzhen!

I highly recommend everyone to go there. The hotel has an artificial beach, a large swimming pool, a pirate ship, indoor and outdoor playgrounds for children, a carousel, and a miniature train!

🐚 Ocean-Themed Room: Whimsical Utopia Family Suite

This time we stayed in the ocean-themed family suite. The kids were immediately drawn to the crab-shaped tent bed upon entering! The room also featured a star-shaped sofa, a giant bathtub, and a playhouse with a huge white rabbit plush toy! So sweet!

🏴☠️ Family Activities: Pirate Ship Themed Pool + Artificial Beach + Wading Pool

The hotel facilities are amazing, but the most eye-catching is definitely the pirate ship themed pool. It's big enough to play hide-and-seek on, and there's an artificial beach next to it for kids to build sandcastles and play in the water. The wading pool is designed to be both safe and fun!

🎠 Indoor and Outdoor Children's Playgrounds: So Exciting, There's Even a Carousel!

The indoor Playhouse features a ball pit, rocking boards, a reading corner, a rope net area, and a building block area. Outdoors, there's a large climbing area, a trampoline, and most impressively, a carousel for unlimited play! There are so many facilities and so much fun! A small train circles the hotel grounds, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the scenery.

🍳 Breakfast Buffet: Superb Choices

The breakfast buffet offers a huge variety of choices, including several fresh juices, even dragon fruit juice! Besides Chinese congee, noodles, and rice noodles, and Western bread and sausages, there are also Southeast Asian breakfast options, sushi, and Mexican wraps! So plentiful!

🚘 Convenient Transportation

The hotel is located in Nanshan District, Shenzhen, just a 15-minute taxi ride from Shenzhen Bay, making it very convenient. There are also many tourist attractions nearby; Window of the World and the opposite Yitian Plaza are just a 5-minute drive away.

Start your day by stepping back in time at Gankeng Hakka Ancient Town 🏰. Despite its location in the tech-savvy city of Shenzhen, it still retains a fascinating glimpse of traditional Hakka architecture. Stroll through the tranquil and lush Chinese atmosphere for a truly culturally enriching start! After a satisfying stroll, it's time to recharge with a delicious lunch of authentic Cantonese cuisine. Stop by a nearby dim sum restaurant 🥟🥢 for har gow (shumai), dumplings, and crispy fried snacks, all accompanied by a cup of tea. Then, in the afternoon, we'll explore cutting-edge design and fascinating exhibitions at the Shenzhen Contemporary Art and Planning Museum (MOCAPE) 🎨. With its futuristic exterior, the museum showcases contemporary art and a fascinating urban development plan, showcasing the city's rapid evolution. In the evening, we'll end our day at Oh Bay (欢乐港湾) 🎡, a popular bayside retreat. Filled with vibrant lights and life, our destination is to ride the Bay Glory Ferris Wheel, also known as the "Eye of Shenzhen," for a 360-degree panoramic view of the city illuminated at night. It's the most romantic and memorable sight of our Shenzhen trip. Then, we headed back down for a delicious dinner 🍽️ to cap off a day of Shenzhen's rich history, art, and modernity! 🎉

This time I chose to take a short trip to Shenzhen and stay at the Indigo Hotel Shenzhen Venice, which is legendary to walk in the “Venice of England”. The hotel is in an incomparably convenient location, close to Window of the World and Joyful Valley. You can get directly to the subway station in minutes by walking out of the door. You can feel the efficiency of city travel in minutes! 🌇

Photography enthusiasts won’t miss the fact that the Joy Valley Ferris Wheel near the hotel overlaps with the Shenzhen skyline. As soon as you turn around, you can feel the atmosphere of Shenzhen's modern city. Walking back into the hotel, even the corridors are very exotic, and every corner is an artistic "photo photo area".

Key hotel experience recommendations:
1. Indigo Hotel, Venice, Shenzhen
Address: 9026 Shennan Avenue, Overseas Chinese Town
As soon as you enter the lobby of this hotel, you can already feel the British characteristic design. The layered glass elements are like an extremely watery atmosphere. The light and shadow of indoor and outdoor are very chill! The rooms are spacious, and some rooms look out to the Window of the World or Joyful Valley view, which feels relaxing and stress-relieving. 
The breakfast buffet is super rich, with continental bread, freshly brewed coffee, and Chinese dim sum, whatever taste is taken care of. Facilities are complete: swimming pool, gym all available. Service, the staff is super friendly, the guest relations department is the MVP of the whole venue, any need is basically a call immediately to help solve!

Travel itinerary suggestions:
- Window of the World: 5 minutes walk to the entrance, easy to visit the "Mini Global Village" landmarks around the world. It is recommended to avoid noon on hot days. Go in in the evening without so much sun and better lighting.
- Shenzhen Joy Valley: 2 minutes from the hotel, exciting roller coaster, Ferris wheel night view must-do! Remember to arrange the queue time reasonably when there are many people, so that you can take a bath in the nightclub and feel more.
- City skyline stroll: Check-in during the day, especially recommended along the Joy Valley Ferris Wheel, Shenzhen modern architectural visions, invincible video.
- Overseas Chinese Town Creative Culture Park: Art galleries, design shops, hipster cafes are all complete, within walking distance, is a must-have for slow travel.

Guest Tips:
- The hotel is in a top-notch location, suitable for traveling with children/family friends, whether it is fun, walking or looking for food.
- For those who like selfies or photos, it is recommended to take pictures of the city view on the hotel pool platform during the day/twilight hours, with good light and high privacy.
- There is a subway station near the hotel, whether you go to Futian Port or Nanshan Technology Park.

Food recommendations:
- Hotel buffet breakfast, European and Chinese are very rich.
- The surrounding Overseas Chinese Town food street brings together hot pot, sauce and dessert shops, authentic and diverse.
- For afternoon tea, try the hotel Lounge, Italian coffee with handmade desserts, especially holiday feel!

Transportation Guide:
Opposite the main entrance of Shenzhen Venice Indigo Hotel is the subway station (Shennan Avenue, near Window of the World Station), which makes it absolutely convenient to transfer from the airport, Nanshan, or high-speed rail stations to the subway. For those who plan to take pictures in many places, it is recommended to buy a one-day or multi-day ticket for Shenzhen Metro, which saves time and is cost-effective.

Summary: Living in Indigo, you can enjoy the feeling of "being in Europe" and embrace the modern city atmosphere of Shenzhen. Entertainment, transportation and dining are extremely convenient.

A perfect accommodation experience

The hotel room on this trip was full of surprises, with the most remarkable feature being the excellent sense of space—there was not a hint of crowding or constraint. The bed, sofa, and washing area were arranged thoughtfully, leaving ample room to move around. Even with two people, it was easy to navigate the space, and the abundant natural light made the entire room bright and airy.

The highlight of the room was undoubtedly the double round bathtub by the window. With its elegant design and generous size, it comfortably accommodated two people without feeling cramped. The hotel also offered a paid bubble bath option (an additional $28), which made for an enjoyable and indulgent soak.

Additionally, the bedding was soft, the bathroom featured a dry and wet separation design, and the amenities were comprehensive and considerate. The perfect combination of spaciousness and a therapeutic bathtub made this stay exceed all expectations. I will definitely choose this place again next time.

This trip to Shenzhen, I chose Shenzhen MGallery Hotel, firstly because the decoration of the new hotel itself is really eye-catching, and secondly, the rooms are super large and very high CP value! Although the location is a little further than the city, the place is really surprising, especially for those who are looking for a quiet, comfortable and design experience.

In terms of design, the hotel is full of art, the whole building is bright and spacious from the lobby to the rooms, even the corridors are neat and tidy. The room is super large, the bathroom has a bathtub and a large sink (definitely suitable for you who want to chill while taking a bath), soundproofing is also good, not afraid of being noisy outside. The bedding is made of delicate materials and the toiletries are high-end brands, making it comfortable to stay in.

In terms of facilities, the gym and swimming pool are complete and very new, and you can go for a dip and relax after exercising. The lobby and front desk service is seriously standard and the staff are willing to help people, which makes people feel professional and friendly. If there are any personal needs, they are happy to help solve them.

I've always loved traveling to different cities, experiencing their food, scenery, and culture.

This love has only grown stronger since having children. Travel not only strengthens our bond and creates wonderful memories together, but it also allows my child to see different parts of the world, broadening their horizons.

This time, I took my son to Shenzhen to explore this familiar yet unfamiliar city. Familiar because I grew up here,

Unfamiliar because of its rapid development; every so often, I see so many new things.

We visited the Shenzhen Bay night view, the China Resources Building (Spring Bamboo), and also saw a performance. Concert 🥰

The GM Giants exhibition is super popular right now.
Seeing the children's curious, happy, and satisfied expressions made me realize how worthwhile the trip was.

When planning a trip, I have a great helper: Trip.com. Not only do they offer a wide variety of flights and accommodations, but they also have the lowest prices online and are incredibly affordable.

They have 24/7 customer service, which is excellent.

And there are so many deals that will make you want to invite your friends and family to join you on a trip!

You can check out the app's limited-time offers, such as new user coupon packs and various promotional offers. These can be used for travel to many countries and cities!

This weekend I went to Shenzhen again ~ I went to this Lo Wu Seafood Market Hot Pot in Lo Wu District. The location is super convenient, right in the Greater China Mao Yip World! The shop is huge, with over 1500 square meters. I couldn't finish walking until my feet were weak! The best part is that you can steam seafood while having hot pot. The original flavor of steaming is really unbeatable. There are dozens of soups to choose from. This time I tried their tomato pot and mushroom pot!
Calculating the average price of $200 per person, the seafood is all fresh and affordable, the yellow and green plates have a single digit deal, and the price of drinks is even cheaper than the supermarket! I have agreed to come back next week with my friends
🦞 Little Blue Dragon
It's only 60 dollars after the discount. It's a bargain! It's big and has a lot of paste. The meat is bouncy and fresh and sweet. You can still drink the essence after steaming
🐚 Six-head bacon
Bigger than my palm! It won't be tough after steaming, and it still keeps the taste of softness. The freshness is so rich that it's like ready-to-eat
🐟 Crispy anchovies
Cut into thin slices, simmer for 10 seconds and serve! The texture is so crispy that it's like eating a fish fillet version of chips, and it goes well with the peppercorn pot
🦐 Roche shrimp
It's so big that the pot can hardly fit! Each one is full of shrimp seeds, which are crunchy and fresh enough without soy sauce
🍗 Freshly cut Qingyuan chicken
The chicken is smooth ~ After boiling the soup in the congee pot, the soup turned into super good chicken congee. I couldn't help but drink three bowls
🦀 Full of paste crab
Once I opened the lid it was all paste! After steaming, it turned into a melted effect, full of savory flavor, even the shell was allowed to sip it clean

Lao Xian Mun Seafood Market Hot Pot
Address: Greater China Maoye Tiandi, Renmin South Road, Nanhu Street, Luohu District
