Shenzhen Local's Recommended Guide!!

💓I really like a saying, traveling is going from the city you live in to the city where others live. 💓This time you have come to the place where I live. 💓I will do my best to recommend to you the attractions I think are good and bad. 💓Many bloggers will recommend places like Dafen Oil Painting Village, MixC World, Gankeng Hakka Town, and Rose Town, but in my opinion, these places are not necessarily must-visit. Everyone can decide their itinerary based on their needs. 👉Dafen Oil Painting Village: The whole village is basically about oil painting, you can experience painting here. Actually, it feels like an urban village with renovated outer walls, giving it a unique flavor. It's not big, surrounded only by residential areas, and everyone inside is painting oil paintings. If you are not bringing children or have no interest in painting, I suggest you skip it. If you come here without a filter, you definitely won't feel its beauty. You can experience oil painting lessons here, but there's nothing particularly special otherwise. 👉Gankeng Hakka Town: As a scenic spot, it's okay. Why don't I recommend it? Because there's nothing inside. If you just want to see the scenery and take some photos, you can come. Older uncles and aunts might enjoy it, but younger people can skip it. 👉MixC World: For shopping and photo-taking, you can come here. The photo output rate is quite high, and at night, the elephant will spray water. 👉Rose Town: Avoid this place. There's nothing much here, and it's very small. It's mostly for people taking wedding photos. If you want to see European architecture, there aren't many here to see. To avoid some places, let me recommend some must-visit places in Shenzhen!! 👉Happy Valley/Window of the World/Splendid China: If you're coming to Shenzhen for amusement parks, these are worth visiting. 👉Happy Harbor: Highly recommended. The main attraction here is the Ferris wheel. The best time is at sunset, but night is also good. You can take a walk here. If you're not afraid of the sun, you can come during the day. 👉Sea World: Also highly recommended. You need to reserve more time for this place. There are many things to do here, and there are many old snack shops nearby. You can see the landmark Minghua ship here, which has food, drinks, and great views. The prices are high, and you can also watch the fountain show. 👉Yangmeikeng: The seas in Shenzhen are generally the same. Dameisha is crowded with poor water quality, and the others have similar issues. For those who want to go to the beach, I recommend Yangmeikeng or Jidiao Beach. Yangmeikeng is the filming location for the movie 'The Mermaid,' so I recommend it first. 👉Xianhu Botanical Garden: The downside is that there's an entrance fee, but everything else is great. When life in Shenzhen isn't going well, you might think about going to Xianhu to pray. This thought makes me recommend it. The scenery is beautiful and great for photos, and you can pray for good weather in the future. 👉Dapeng Ancient City: It's very commercialized inside, so I don't really recommend it. But since many tourist spots have ancient cities, I'll recommend it. Older people might enjoy it, and there's also Nan'ao nearby for seafood and sea views. Young people can head straight to Nan'ao. Due to space limitations, I'll recommend these places for now. You can't visit all these places in one day, so I suggest reserving more time for your trip to Shenzhen. Shenzhen is very close to Hong Kong, so I recommend visiting Hong Kong as well. I have guides for Hong Kong and Macau on my homepage, so you can check them out. If you're still unclear after reading this, you can message me or comment below, and I'll answer them one by one.
