Shenzhen... Seriously, DON'T Go Unprepared!!

[Jesse Paucek]

Sisters, listen up! If you come to Shenzhen — one of China's major cities - without doing your homework beforehand, you could end up having quite a troublesome trip, or even a rough time!

And I am the one who claims to have worked tirelessly ("burning the midnight oil until spitting blood" — just kidding, but I really put in tremendous effort!) to put together this super detailed "Avoid Pitfalls" guide for you all!️

Here, the so-called "pitfalls" refer to any inconveniences and not-so-smart decisions that may come up during travel.

The guide aims to help everyone avoid these mistakes and enjoy a smoother journey.

I truly hope this guide can be of help to every friend who is planning to visit Shenzhen!

Do you really need a travel plan for Shenzhen? And stay up all night making one? Isn't it just a few parks? My 'plan': buy a ferry ticket to Hong Kong for Disneyland, book a flight abroad, or get a train ticket to Guangzhou, or flights to Xi'an, Beijing, or Shanghai.

[Ms. Beatrice Abernathy]

Good to know.

[Ms. Cecilia Lowe]

There's nothing to do in Shenzhen.

[Frank Cole]

Exactly.

[Marion Barrows]

Shenzhen isn't very exciting. I'd recommend Guangzhou or Hong Kong instead.

[Israel Koss]

That's a good idea.

[April Corwin]

What kind of clothes should I wear in Shenzhen this week?

[Terrence Beer]

A warm hoodie should do the trick, just not too thin. Add a base layer underneath, and you're good to go!

[Arnold Predovic]

Dongmen Old Street has wholesale clothing markets, plus lots of escape rooms and places for DIY crafts.

[Mattie Lockman]

Oh, right!

[Garrett VonRueden PhD]

Reading these recommendations... I'm speechless. I've barely been to any of these places.

[Dr. Guadalupe Homenick]

So, where do you think is more fun, sweetie?

[Benjamin Dooley]

Want some advice? If you're open to it, I'd strongly advise against going.

[Dexter Cummerata]

Excuse me, are there any must-try foods in Shenzhen?

[Elaine Boyle PhD]

Planning to go over Chinese New Year. Is there really not much to do there?

[Christina Altenwerth]

I only saw all these comments saying Shenzhen isn't much fun after I'd already bought my plane tickets for Chinese New Year.

[Ms. Wanda Kilback]

The layout I'm seeing here is hilarious, hahaha!

[Zachary Hayes]

Wetherm shoutout: check. Mars hoodie: check. IP location: check.
