Shenzhen is a young, modern, and tech-driven city that is still not very popular among tourists. I visited it and made a list of places that are essential for experiencing the city to the fullest: • Shenzhen Bay Park • Ping An Tower Observation Deck • Zhuoyue Avenue (City Center) • Shenzhen Library • Shenzhen Museum of Contemporary Art and Urban Planning • Civic Center • Bantian Vanke Plaza •OCT Harbour #localguides #asiatrip #chinatravel #china #shenzhen #mustvisit ##instagramworthydestinations

Shenzhen has been my home for almost 6 years now and I honestly thing it’s one of the best untapped travel destinations out there, it is one of the most advanced cities in the world but the cost of living and visiting is still really low. It rivals the modernity and diversity of Hong Kong but at a fraction of the cost, you can even do it in a day trip from Hong Kong as it’s so close! China has opened up to tourism recently and is offering a lot of countries visa free access or extended transfer visas (Check to see if your country has been added to the list!) ⭐️ Airport - It is located to the west of the city and is on the express metro line that takes you through the main urban areas, connecting at the mega hubs of Futian & Gangxia. You can use apple pay, Qr code or use cash to buy tokens ⭐️ Train - Shenzhen is connected to the rest of china and also HK via high speed rail, they depart and arrive at Futian, or Shenzhen North station - both of which are connected to the metro. Foriegners can use these services, book via trip and scan your passport at ticket gates - you no longer need to collect paper tickets! ⭐️ Accommodation - Hotels in Shenzhen are a lot cheaper than Hong Kong, but if you want to travel on a lower budget I’d advice the local chains such as Atour, True Go & Vienna hotels - they can cost as little as $30 per night and offer basic but comfortable rooms in good locations. (All close to metro) ⭐️ Travel - This is where China really excels, the metro in Shenzhen is one of the biggest in the world and one of the cheapest. You can travel anywhere in the city for less than $2 and the trains are every minute or so, with full air conditioning and most stations have toilets / wifi. Didi is the ride hailing app and that is also very cheap, around $8 for a half an hour taxi ride ⭐️ Food - There is so much cheap food here you will be spoiled for choice, the older areas of Dongmen & Laojie in Luohu offer some of the best authentic street food and canteen style restaurants. Then areas such as Nanshan, Chegongmeow & Fumin have lots of food streets with every style of Chinese food from all 6 major regions. Dishes can start at $1 and portions are generous. ⭐️ Attractions - Shenzhen is a super green city and most of it’s main attractions are based around nature and the outdoors, especially hiking, cycling and beaches - all of which are free! Other than that the few exhibits and galleries that there are are super cheap! I would really recommend Shenzhen to anyone as an entry to China as it’s one of the most modern and easiest cities to navigate, it also has so many incredible landmarks to really help you understand the success of this metropolis! #cheaptravel #myitinerary #myitinerary #china #shenzhen #guangdong #thingstodo #budget #cheap #hongkong #city

We arrived at Shenzhen Civic Center just as the light began to tilt, catching on the glass roof that stretched like wings across the plaza. Everything here felt intentional wide, clean, open. Beneath its arches, people moved slowly, tourists pausing for photos, locals practicing quiet tai chi near the edge. It didn’t feel like a government district. It felt like space for air, for breath, for the city to rest a little. 🏛️🌇🧍♀️ Just next door, Shenzhen Library offered that same calm, but quieter. Inside, soft light filtered through huge windows, pages turned gently, and time slowed to something kinder. Students leaned into their notes, a child whispered questions to her father, and someone dozed between shelves. It wasn’t about grandeur it was about presence. In the heart of a fast city, this corner of glass and books reminded us that stillness has its place too. 📚☁️🪟 #chinatravel #travel #myitinerary

China’s Silicon Valley, the city on the border with Hong Kong — Shenzhen truly impressed me with its modernity. Everything here exudes technology. It’s clear that the city is entirely new, built in a futuristic and contemporary style. Shopping malls deserve a special mention — I got lost in them more than once! 📍I spent two full days in Shenzhen, and here was my itinerary: Day 1 • Ping An Financial Centre Observation Deck • Wongtee Plaza • Civic Centre • Lianhua Park • Shenzhen Library • Shenzhen Museum of Contemporary Art and Urban Planning Day 2 • Bantian Vanke Plaza • Talent Park • OCT Harbour • Mangrove Nature Reserve 🏡Hotel recommendation: I’ve stayed at Fuqinglong Huatian Holiday Hotel. It’s located near Convention and Exhibition centre. #localguides #scenicspotguide #shenzhen #chinatrip #china #asiatrip #instatravel #architecture #shopping #solotravel

There is always an answer to everything. Instead of worrying, just let it be. In Shenzhen after the Spring Festival in 2025, lanterns are still hanging high on both sides of the street, and the festive atmosphere lingers. Among the skyscrapers, the spring is in full swing, and the greenery is full of vitality. People walk in a hurry, but they do not forget to stop and appreciate the unique rhythm of the city. What is recorded everywhere is not only the scenery, but also the expectation of life in the heart.

“In 1979, in the spring, an old man drew a circle on the southern coast of China…” Every time I hear “The Story of Spring”, I feel a longing for the legendary city of Shenzhen. In February, I traveled to this vibrant city to the sound of this inspiring melody. Here is my exclusive guide. 🚩Day 1: Urban Impressions, A Glimpse of Prosperity ▫️Morning: Lianhuashan Park (Free) Lianhuashan Park is full of greenery and fresh air. Walk along the winding mountain path and enjoy the rare plants along the way. At the top of the mountain, you will see a bronze statue of Deng Xiaoping, who is looking into the distance. Pay tribute to this great man and overlook the Futian Central District of Shenzhen, where the skyscrapers show the city’s prosperity. 📸Take a solemn photo with the skyscrapers in the background and the bronze statue beside you to capture this meaningful moment. ▫️Lunch: Chaojiangchun (Futian Branch) Try authentic Cantonese cuisine in Shenzhen. I recommend the clams with black bean sauce. The fresh clams are tender and juicy, and the black bean sauce adds a perfect flavor. The shrimp dumplings are also delicious. The translucent skin is filled with plump shrimp, and the juice bursts out when you bite into it, bringing you happiness. ▫️Afternoon: Shenzhen Civic Center The unique architecture of the Civic Center is eye-catching, like a roc spreading its wings. It is not only the administrative center of Shenzhen, but also a cultural and shopping hub. Stroll around the square and feel the city’s vitality and openness. You may also encounter creative exhibitions and street performances. ▫️Evening: Futian COCO Park COCO Park is bustling with lights and people. The fashionable mall has a variety of international brands and trendy items to satisfy your shopping needs. When you are tired, go to a dessert shop and order a mango sago. The cold and sweet dessert will delight your taste buds. 🚩Day 2: Technological Frontiers, Exploring Mysteries ▫️Morning: Shenzhen Science Museum (New Museum) (Ticket price to be determined) Entering the Science Museum is like entering a future world. There are many interactive exhibits. In the artificial intelligence area, you can interact with intelligent robots and play chess with them to experience the magic of technology. In the space area, you can explore the mysteries of the universe through simulated space capsules and VR experiences, and develop a love for science. 📸Take a series of futuristic photos with the cool exhibits to show the perfect fusion of technology and humanity. ▫️Lunch: Food Republic (in the Science Museum) There are a variety of food options, from Western fast food like burgers and pizza to Chinese stir-fry and Japanese sushi, to meet different tastes and quickly replenish your energy for the afternoon exploration. ▫️Afternoon: Shenzhen Bay Park (Free) Walk along the Shenzhen Bay Coastal Promenade, with the sparkling Shenzhen Bay on one side and the bustling Shenzhen skyline on the other. The sea breeze in February is gentle, and seagulls fly in the sky. You can enjoy the view of Yuen Long District in Hong Kong and feel the unique charm of Shenzhen and Hong Kong. ▫️Evening: OCT Harbour OCT Harbour is full of neon lights and excitement. There are various restaurants and bars. Choose a lakeside restaurant and order a pasta and a glass of red wine. Enjoy the water show in a romantic atmosphere and feel the combination of light, shadow, and music. 🚩Day 3: Artistic Seaside, Enjoying Leisure ▫️Morning: Jiaochangwei (Some homestays and water activities are charged) The sun is shining in Jiaochangwei in February. The sand is fine and the water is clear. Walk along the beach and feel the sea breeze on your face. You can also choose a homestay and enjoy a relaxing seaside vacation. If you want some excitement, try water activities like jet skiing and sailing to release your energy. 📸Take a series of fresh photos on the beach with the sea in the background and wearing ocean-themed clothes to capture your youthful energy. ▫️Lunch: Jiaochangwei Seafood Restaurant The seafood here is fresh and delicious. The steamed grouper retains the tenderness of the fish, and the garlic steamed scallops are juicy and fragrant. They are delicious with rice. ▫️Afternoon: Dapeng Fortress (Free) Walking into Dapeng Fortress is like traveling back to the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The ancient city has many preserved buildings. The narrow streets and mottled walls tell the stories of history. Visit the museums and folk shops in the ancient city to learn about the history and culture of Dapeng Fortress. ▫️Souvenirs: Shajing Oysters, Nanshan Dried Lychees (processed products are available out of season), Dapeng Fortress Cultural and Creative Products. 🏡Accommodation Suggestions: ▪️Futian Shangri-La Hotel (High-end, convenient location, close to many attractions) ▪️Jiaochangwei Homestay (Experience seaside style, enjoy a relaxing vacation) 💡Tips: 1️⃣The weather in Shenzhen in February is changeable. Bring rain gear and a light jacket for the temperature difference between morning and evening. 2️⃣Pay attention to the tide when visiting Shenzhen Bay Park and watch the migratory birds in a civilized manner. 3️⃣Choose a regular merchant for water activities in Jiaochangwei to ensure safety. In February, come to Shenzhen with “The Story of Spring” and experience a dreamlike journey of vitality, technology, history, and leisure. Let the charm of Shenzhen leave a deep impression on you.
