01What to see
Shenzhen: the four places that matter
Ordered the way you should actually visit them, not by fame.
OCT Loft
A factory complex turned gallery district; studios, coffee, and the best people-watching in the city.
Dafen village
Oil-painting workshops reproducing Van Gogh by the metre — and original work upstairs.
Shenzhen Museum
How the special economic zone was made, told honestly. Free.
Dapeng Fortress
A Ming garrison town on the coast, 90 minutes east, with beaches nearby.
02Two-day plan
How we would plan your two days
Built around opening times and traffic, not around a list of attractions.
Day 1 · City and design
OCT Loft in the morning, lunch in the creative district, Shenzhen Museum in the afternoon, skyline walk in Futian at dusk.
Day 2 · Coast
Drive to Dapeng for the fortress and a beach; back through Yantian for seafood.
Local notes
- Shenzhen is a shopping city: the Luohu commercial zone is for bargaining, not for brands.
- Crossing to Hong Kong needs a separate visa; check your eligibility before booking.
- Weekends at Dapeng beaches are gridlocked in summer — go on a weekday.
03Where to stay
Pick the area first, the hotel second
The wrong district costs you an hour a day in traffic.
Futian
Central, metro everywhere, walk to the museum and the towers.
Nanshan / Shekou
Near OCT Loft and the ferry to Hong Kong and Macau.
04What to eat
Two things you should not leave without trying
Cantonese seafoodSteamed fish and salt-and-pepper prawns, CNY 100–150 (≈US$14–21) a head.
Chaoshan beef hotpotThe city’s favourite late-night meal, ¥80–120.
05What goes wrong
Three things that catch first-time visitors
- Shenzhen is a shopping city: the Luohu commercial zone is for bargaining, not for brands.
- Crossing to Hong Kong needs a separate visa; check your eligibility before booking.
- Weekends at Dapeng beaches are gridlocked in summer — go on a weekday.
06Questions
Shenzhen: questions travellers actually ask
Is Shenzhen worth visiting?
For design, food and the China of the future, yes. For history, no.
Can I visit Hong Kong from here?
Yes, at Futian or Luohu, but you need a valid visa or permit.
How long do I need?
One day for the city, two if you want the coast.
The full guide runs to four pages — in Chinese
Tickets, opening hours, hour-by-hour itineraries and eighteen local questions. Machine translation handles these pages well; send us a screenshot if anything is unclear.
How booking Shenzhen works — three steps, itinerary before price
No deposit to get a plan, and nothing is locked in before you agree to it.
-
Send the brief
Dates, party size, how you arrive and what you want to see. Tell us the working language you need and whether anyone has trouble with stairs.
-
Get a route and a price
We order the stops by location and traffic, then quote per car per day with fuel, tolls and the driver included. Ask for changes as often as you need — it costs nothing.
-
Confirm and travel
Only after you accept the route and the price do we assign the car and guide. You get their contact details before pickup, so you are never handed off to a stranger.
