    How do you commute between Shenzhen and Hong Kong? And roughly how long does it take each way?

      Shenzhen might not seem to have a lot of 'fun' attractions, but Shenzhen Bay at dusk, during the 'blue hour,' is stunning. Also, the restrooms in Shenzhen's malls are impressively clean, and its parks are quite relaxing. There are plenty of beautiful spots that aren't crowded. Alternatively, you could stay in Shenzhen and make day trips to Hong Kong.

        Wow, you really know your stuff! I'm arriving in Shenzhen tomorrow afternoon and leaving the afternoon of the day after. Do you have any itinerary suggestions for such a short trip?

          I consider myself a natural-born traveler; I usually find joy everywhere I go. But if I went to Shenzhen, even I might have to say, 'This is so boring.'

            I'm going to Shenzhen in May, and after hearing what you (the previous commenter) said, I've lost all my excitement.

              It has mountains, the sea, and bustling commercial areas – it's stunningly beautiful!

                  There's not much to do in Shenzhen, and I'm saying this as someone who grew up here. It feels like it's just malls for shopping, eating, drinking, and afternoon tea. Even the nearby beaches aren't that impressive.

                    Haha, that's pretty much it. Besides shopping malls, all you have are parks.

                      I just got back, and it was beautiful! I'm already planning to go again next month.
