Shenzhen's snapshots





Downtown Shenzhen. Reminds you of which city? I found the cool weather in January just right. It drizzled on certain days with the skies grey most of the time.
Public buses are air-conditioned and cheap. One yuan can take you on a half hour's trip. But you have to fight with the huge crowd. Taxis are cheap and plentiful. I took taxis in Shenzhen but buses (less crowded) in Hainan Island.


If it is your first trip to China, you'll soon realise that people are like ants - they are everywhere!

Fortunately, the sidewalks in China are very wide, some as wide as a four-lane road.

  1. "If it is your first trip to China, you'll soon realise that people are like ants - they are everywhere!" LOL!

    Shenzhen looks like Hong Kong to me.

    Cheers!

  2. Honestly, Alex,sometimes I get so annoyed and irritated rubbing elbows with endless streams of the locals that I'm glad to retreat to the refuge of my hotel room. Wonder if you have felt the same way. Or am I alone here.
