Just got back from Shenzhen, let's talk about some harsh truths

Help! I have to tell the truth after coming back from Shenzhen! This guide can save you 2,000 RMB!

Baozis! Just finished my special forces trip to Shenzhen 😭 I have to say something! I both love and hate this city!! Had a great time but also encountered a lot of pitfalls!! I've stayed up all night to sort out this super-real guide 👇 Read it before you go, and you'll avoid 99% of the detours!

❌ Let's start with the harsh truth! The current situation of tourism in Shenzhen is too real

1️⃣ Warning of melting heat 🔥: Shenzhen in May directly turns on "steaming mode"! Go out for 3 minutes during the day and sweat for half an hour 💦 Not bringing sunscreen + parasol = self-abuse!!
2️⃣ The crowds are outrageous 👥: The beach, business district, and popular spots are all full of people!! Want to take a solo photo at Dameisha? Impossible!!
3️⃣ Consumption assassin strikes 💸: A cup of milk tea around the scenic spot costs 30+ RMB, and a taxi ride easily costs 50+ RMB!! If you don't do your research, you'll really be broke in minutes...

✅ Painstakingly sorted out! Divine ways to avoid the crowds

🌊 New ways to play by the sea

• Guanhucun: The "Little Kamakura" that everyone's been asking about! Japanese-style streets + azure sea 🌅 Fewer people and beautiful scenery! It is recommended to arrive before 9am to take over the entire beach~

• Beizijiao Lighthouse: A stunning lighthouse hidden in the rocks! Taking photos in a white dress is super photogenic 📸 Remember to wear non-slip shoes, the stones by the sea are super slippery!

📸 New ideas for popular check-ins

• Gankeng Ancient Town: Avoid the crowded Window of the World! This Hakka town is full of ancient charm~ After the lights are turned on at night, it's like traveling to Spirited Away ✨

• Qianhai Stone Park: Watch the Ferris wheel for free! Go in the evening to take photos of the sunset + Bay Area Light Show, the atmosphere is directly full~ Remember to bring mosquito repellent!!

🍜 Local's secret food list

• Intestine assassin, retreat, retreat!! Go to "Xinfa Roasted Meat Restaurant", the 15 RMB egg noodle roll is so smooth that you can't hold it with chopsticks 🥢

• Coconut chicken ceiling!! The bamboo fungus coconut chicken at "Runyuan Four Seasons" has a soup so fresh that you can drink three bowls! Remember to add water chestnuts and crispy bell rolls~

• Sugar water to save your life!! The old-fashioned sugar water shop in "Shenye Shangcheng" has taro puree sago cream + ginger milk curd, a bowl after eating spicy food is super refreshing~

⚠️ Lessons learned! Super practical guide to avoiding pitfalls

✅ Transportation is life-saving: Subway + shared bicycles are the best! Taxis are expensive and cause traffic jams, download Shenzhen Tong to scan the code, super convenient 🚇
✅ Sun protection three-piece set: 50+ sunscreen + parasol + sunglasses! The ultraviolet rays on the beach are directly full, warning of sunburn ⚠️
✅ Accommodation avoid the thunder: Don't live too far away! It is recommended to stay in Futian and Nanshan business districts, the price/performance ratio near the subway station is higher~
✅ Anti-pit guide: Souvenirs in scenic spots are marked up by 300%! Buy local products at the supermarket, "Gongming Sausage" is a must-buy!
