    Kicking off the day by queuing for dim sum at Zhuyuan Hotel, then hitting up Dongmen or Shekou for late-night snacks in the evening – you'll never be bored.

      Do you realize that's a trek from one end of the city to the other? We're talking over 80km for a round trip!

        I feel for Shenzhen's working crowd; many are caught in a super competitive work environment. Outside of work, their options are pretty much limited to strolling in parks. The beaches aren't that great an experience, Wutong Mountain has become just another tourist trap, and all those 'intangible cultural heritage' displays? Honestly, they're a bit of a joke.

          Agreed. Plus, I think people in Shenzhen don't have very high standards for food. They're quick to call things 'delicious' when, honestly, most of it is just average.

              My fracture hasn't been healed for long, so I'll pass on this for now.

                      You really have to hunt for the good food.

                          This is what Shekou looks like today.

                              It seems a bit quieter over there.

                                Honestly, it's like that in any city. After a while, it all gets a bit dull. It really comes down to how you choose to spice up your own life.

                                  True that.

                                    Yeah, compared to Yokohama, that's probably true. Outdoor activities are basically just the seaside or hiking, but neither the mountains nor the sea are particularly amazing. Plus, you get tired of them after a few times, haha.

                                      You could go to Hong Kong. The mountains and sea there seem a bit better.
