Great Wall Hustlers: Harder to Dodge Than the Steps & Twice as Shady! Don't Buy Their BS. #ChinaTravel #ScamWarning

Sure, here's the translation of your Chinese article into fluent and easily understandable English:
Hey there! I've seen people online suggesting that visiting Shenzhen may not be a good idea for travel recently.
- Shenzhen, which I know is a super-modern big city right next to Hong Kong, developing extremely fast! Buildings are towering everywhere, it is all about technology, being the first "special economic zone" of China's reform and opening up, so its history differs significantly from ancient cities in other parts of China, making it quite young.
- But why do people not seem to recommend Shenzhen as a travel destination?
- Is it because it's too "young", compared to historic capitals like Beijing (with the Forbidden City and the Great Wall) or Xi'an (with Terracotta Army), which lack ancient temples, palaces or old town areas?
- Or does Shenzhen give off too much of a commercial vibe, with offices and shopping malls everywhere, making it less friendly for those who want to relax and enjoy nature?
- Is it because as a Chinese mega-city like New York or London, its expenses on food and accommodation are quite high, making it not really worthwhile?
️ Warning: Take heed of the friends who've been there! Here are some "minefields" you must avoid:- When traveling throughout Shenzhen, what are some "traps" (those spots that sound promising but actually lead to disappointment, or bad experience) must be avoided?
- Are there any attractions that although famous, aren't really worth the entry fee, or have extremely large crowds with awful experiences?
- What cultural habits and tips, do foreigners need to pay extra attention to when first coming to China and moving around in Shenzhen (like taking the metro or taxis), staying overnight, or playing?
- For example, does Shenzhen tend more towards short-term business trips rather than leisure vacation? If I wish to experience the local life, what would be some good suggestions?
- Speaking of which, if one really wants to go to Shenzhen, what are some hidden play methods or local delicacies recommendations that can showcase Shenzhen's uniqueness? After all, each city has its uniquely distinctive side!
Looking forward to hearing true experience sharing from you guys! Thanks in advance!

All there is to do here is visit parks and shopping malls.

Any recommendations on which district in Shenzhen to stay in? Looking for a place that's convenient for hiking, shopping, and eating. Any specific restaurants worth trying? I'm planning to visit this Chinese New Year.

There's no such thing as a boring Shenzhen, only people who don't know how to explore it. It has all the typical city sights—mountains, sea, sunrises, sunsets, and city nightscapes—everything except ancient architecture.
For sea views, check out the Observatory, Luzui Villa, Dameisha, Xiaomeisha, and Beizaijiao Lighthouse. For mountains, there's Wutong Mountain, Tanglang Mountain, Nanshan Mountain, and more.
Catch sunrises and sunsets at Shenzhen Bay Sunrise Arena, Qianhai Stone Park, Haibian Park, and Xixiang Mangrove.
For city night views, visit OH Bay, Sea World, Talent Park, and Xiaowutong Mountain.
Xianhu Botanical Garden is also stunning, especially the 'Heaven on Earth' scenic spot inside (see bottom right picture). -
OMG!!!! This shot is absolutely incredible!
-
Dameisha Beach the day before yesterday. This season is perfect for a visit—it's like experiencing summer all over again! I just landed back in Shandong and nearly froze to death.
-
So beautiful! And you take amazing photos!
-
Northerners really love Dameisha Beach.
-
If you head a bit further east, Dameisha doesn't even make the list of Shenzhen's truly stunning beaches.
-
The Dapeng area is quite nice, just make sure to travel during off-peak hours. Elsewhere, it's pretty much just parks, parks, and more parks.
-
Judiaosha Beach.
-
Akanala.
-
Come see the sunset!
-
Sunset glow over the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link.

What area is this near?
-
After seeing so many beaches, my husband and I both agreed: Shenzhen's coastline is the most beautiful. It's incredibly clear and stunning. Once you're here, you don't want to leave. The transportation is fantastic, it's very clean, and the people are friendly. The way drivers yield to pedestrians is really commendable.
-
Excuse me, where is this place?
-
I absolutely adore Shenzhen! I just love visiting its malls and parks. Cycling in Shenzhen Bay Park is so incredibly comfortable, and I could happily spend an entire afternoon just sitting and daydreaming at a café near Sea World. Shenzhen and Fuzhou are my favorite cities.
-
Thanks for loving Fuzhou!
