To many visitors, the sheer size of China is overwhelming. With multiple geographical and topographical regions, a variety of local dialects and varying cultures, China often seems like multiple countries rolled into a huge landmass.
One city in China that stands out and has made its mark on the world is Shenzhen, which is one of the country’s richest cities and is also a Special Economic Zone. Attracting a vibrant blend of entrepreneurs, potential investors and workers from all over the world, Shenzhen has evolved into a bustling metropolis. The best part for visitors is that it is only a day’s trip away from Hong Kong, and many could visit Shenzhen via car rental.
While Shenzhen may seem like all work and no play, it may surprise many with its pulsing nightlife, indie music pubs, and local people, who flock to various public squares in evenings to shake a leg with the rhythm. There are also many local theme parks, which include miniaturized versions of popular landmarks, as well as specialty marketplaces. Getting around is pretty straightforward, especially with a car hire in Shenzhen, and you can also access other parts of China, since Shenzhen is also a transport hub.
