aliko,

What to do in Shenzhen? There's some great places to eat, ask for 'Hua Fa Lu' in town as there are many varieties of Chinese restaurants there, a very good Hunan one if you like it spicy Nearby is an area called SEG, lots of phones and electronics but costs more than HK.... In the same area is the imaginatively named 'Mans World', 'Womans World' and 'Childrens World' All sizeable shopping complexes with loads of shops specialising in clothes. Some excellent quality and cheap products.

Also there is an area called 'Dongman' fairly near the border, lots of shops for shoes, clothes etc. and some food and electronics places. Watch your bags though as it's famous for pickpockets !

If you have someone with you who speaks Putonghua then taxis are best for getting about, if not you could maybe arrange a guide for the day through one of the bigger hotels like the Shangri-La. Give them a call.

Andy,
So we need 2 do visa b4 enter SZ ma???wich transport go shenzhen is d most convenient??

I suspect you will need a visa, best bet is contact CTS or get your HK hotel to arrange for you, they may need a couple of days and you may also be asked for a passport photo.

Going through Luo Hu checkpoint is easy but occasionally quite busy, Huang Gang is a bit more difficult to get to but quicker.

I think there is a bus from Kowloon that goes over the border and into Shenzhen, again ask your HK hotel for advice.
