What is there to do in Shenzhen?

Myriad theme parks dotted in between a thriving business scene - Shenzhen has a contrasting image that will lure you in and maintain your interest with the array of cool indie bars and bustling clubs. The entrepreneurial spirit amidst the plethora of office blocks creates a youthful energy, appealing to tourists from all walks of life: families can explore the historical attractions, theme parks and naturally verdant parks whilst young people may be more inclined to sample the lively restaurants and vivacious nightlife. Keen to escape its tag as a formal, serious city, a selection of art galleries and museums have been introduced to bring a touch of culture to China’s south coast. He-Xiangning Art Museum offers a wide range of uniquely captivating pieces of art, and for an insight into the history of Shenzhen, the city’s official museum is well worth a visit. After a day perusing the landmarks and attractions, head to one of the fine quality restaurants and eateries for a taster of quintessential Chinese food.

How do you get around Shenzhen?

An efficient metro system covers pretty much of the entirety of the city and is the most commonly used form of transport. Alternatively, for a more active way of travelling, many choose to get around on two wheels.
