@yuxinzhang That’s so awesome! I went to Shenzhen last July. A great city for food and gadget shopping. I was told more than 90% of the electronic gadgets are made in Shenzhen @Aruni

Shenzhen is the tech and innovation hub for China. It’s also the home for Shenzhen stock exchange - the other is Shanghai.
It’s just across the border to Hong Kong. No visa needed for foreigners for 7 days if I am right. A great place to shop gadgets such as headphone, phone accessories, drone, toys, bots, camera and accessories etc.
Hi! I’m glad that you like Shenzhen! As you said, Shenzhen itself is now widely considered “China’s Silicon Valley”. Shenzhen is also close to Hong Kong so that people can come and go easily. I hope you enjoy the foods in Shenzhen also such as the coconut chicken! For now, I am not sure about the visa. if the policy doesn’t change, you don’t need a visa to go to Hongkong for 7 days.
Hi @OliverKIWI
The park looks amazing, thank you for sharing these photos with us. It seems you had a good time during your trip. I wish I could visit this place once in a lifetime.

@Aruni @yuxinzhang There are LED light shows on those buildings during the night. Quite spectacular actually!
