Shenzhen: Fun Visit! Next Time? Hard Pass. #ChinaTravelWTF

[Israel Koss]

Sure, I'll translate the text into English while maintaining its essence and ensuring clarity for your foreign friends. Here's the translation:

Alright then, let me tell you all about it! I know shenzhen very well! Let me speak to you, guaranteeing that my foreign friends will understand upon hearing, so they'll have a better idea of where to go next time!

• I just returned from Shenzhen, and talking about my feelings towards this trip… I mean it with laughter! A mix of exasperation and amusement!
  • I was really eager to see the sea before, but then I realized that the truly beautiful and worth visiting beaches are far away from where I am. It takes considerable travel time to get there from the city center.
  • Also, the people! The amount of people! Everywhere, they’re swarming like ants in all directions, making it hard to move around in comfort. (Quick tip: It is quite a common phenomenon in big Chinese cities, especially during holidays!)
  • Frankly speaking, no matter how many attractions I’ve visited, I haven’t come across anything that wows me - a hidden gem of exclusivity that’s simply must-see.
  • But! One thing that deserves recognition is that the city of shenzhen indeed has the grandeur of a big metropolis. It’s modern and luxurious, and skyscrapers as well as malls are everywhere.

In summary, although there were some annoying points, if there's another chance in the future, I would still come back to Shenzhen again! After all, this was such a short trip, I felt like I haven't explored enough.

First time visiting shenzhen? Here’s what you need to know!

• Want a nice ocean view?—Plan ahead for the distance!
  • If you're going to shenzhen for the famous beaches (like some along the eastern coast), be warned that they usually aren’t centrally located.You might need to arrange transportation in advance, by taking a bus or calling a cab as it usually takes around one to two hours or more just get there.
  • Tip: Plan your trip properly, ensuring you leave out enough time when sightseeing a beautiful seashore. Alternatively, consider staying overnight at the seaside so you won't be rushed in your activities.
• Worried about crowded areas?—Keep calm and find a way to beat the crowd!
  • With high population density, this metropolis of shenzhen makes crowds unavoidable, especially at popular spots (such as parks, theme parks) and crowded places like MRT stations during peak times, particularly over weekends and Chinese public holidays (e.g., National Day, Spring Festival).
  • Tip: To avoid overwhelming crowds and have a better experience, opt to visit popular attractions on weekdays or early mornings to dodge most crowds.

I hope the translated version captures the essence of your text and offers a smooth understanding for English-speaking readers.

Honestly, Hong Kong, right next door to Shenzhen, is much prettier.

(At the seaside, that is.)

Shenzhen's four 'defining features': parks, shopping malls, electric scooters, and street stalls.
