Shenzhen Travel Overview:
If any Chinese city has headmostly and wholeheartedly embraced foreign capital, or most provocatively promoted and incentively encouraged both skeptical speculators or savvy investors from home and abroad to most successfully work out their get-rich-quick scheme, it is Shenzhen.
The test base and bridgehead for China's policies of reform and opening initiated by then-supreme leader Deng Xiaoping in 1979, Shenzhen has grown from a sleepy fishing village of few thousands people into a sprawling metropolis of 8 million people at a dizzying pace that no one has ever seen in practically a matter of just two decades.
As the buzzing engine driving China's current overwhelming economic boom, there is no doubt that this Special Economic Zone in its twenties may not stand out among other scenically charming and culturally intriguing cities in the country, but it is definitely a legend of modernization and internationalization at work within the grounds of one of the world's oldest surviving and thriving ancient civilizations which is absolutely invest-worthy and travel-worthy.
Despite its nascent charater and the absence of palpable historical and cultural heritage, Shenzhen has by no means lost its touch with its veritably ancient roots, and people of shenzhen, full of migrant vitality and youthful creativity, are aggressive yet realistic enough to bring together the advantageous coastal port location, the immediate proximity to Hongkong, elite Chinese and World sceneries and civilizations, authentic international cuisines, world-class recreation, pleasantly verdant enviroment as well as its warm and sunny climate into full coordination and create such delights and surprises to travelers as a myriad of amusement parks and family-fun attractions, beach resorts and golf courses, botanic gardens and parks, enviably efficient mass transit system, fabulous nightlife scene and shopping facilities, to name just a few.
Comepeting with Shanghai for annual shipping and manufacturing turnovers, Hongkong for fantastic shopping and fun attraction offerings, and the rest of the country and the world for opening mindset and innovative spirit, Shenzhen is actually not even remotely souless or toneless.

1.Climate Overview
Located at about the Tropic of Cancer in the subtropical part of China, Shenzhen is supposed to mirror the significant impact of the prominent seasonal East Asian monsoons on its climate, which would typically result in four distinct seasons and quite remarkable seasonal changes.
Thanks to its pleasant coastal position at the estuary of the Pearl River which empties into the South China Sea, and its hilly topographical features in and around the city proper, the occasional cold snaps in winter and heat waves in summer, as well as the surprise typhoon hits during summer and autumn, are largely buffered to a more manageable level.
Under its subtropical climate and pleasant natural enviroment, Shenzhen enjoys almost year-round mildly warm days filled with sunshine punctuated by monsoon rains, which would occasionally descend during May to September, or most likely start to pour down relentlessly during the typhoon season from July to September.
Other than that, the goldern autumn days are sunny and temperate and the palette spring days are dry and mild, and only about once in every two years on average does the urban area be placed directly on the landing route of a typhoon while the surrounding mountains fail to block it completely or steer it away.
Plus the long but not overly hot summer days when temperature rarely reaches over 35 degrees Celsius, and short but relatively warm winter days when temperatures rarely drop below degrees Celsius, Shenzhen is an ideal tourist destination anytime of the year.
2.What to wear
Dress Casually:
Needless to day, lightweight loose-fitting casual clothing, like T-shirts or short-sleeve shirts, shorts, lacks or a skirt, preferably made from natural fibres like cotton, plus sandals or an extra pair of comfortable walking shoes, would suit you best in Shenzhen's more or less year-round warmth, especially if much of your stay here is spent out there shopping and sightseeing.
A light jacket, sweater or cover ups of some kind is needed for cooler mornings and evenings during spring and autumn, or for overly air-conditioned rooms in public places like hotels, restaurants or shopping malls, during summer.
Warmer clothing may be required during the coldish winters.
Be Sun-smart:
Sunshine and heat characterize most of Shenzhen's sub-tropical monsoon climate.
That said, a hat or sunshade, a good sunblock, plus a pair of sunglasses seem quite essential.
Bring Raingear:
Shenzhen receives plenty and fairly regualar precipitation in the rainy season from May to Sep.
Make it a point to bring along a umbrella or raincoat, probably plus a pair of waterproof footwear for your trip during this wet period of time.
Be fashion/occasion conscious:
The vibrant yong city also adopts much of Hong Kong's concept of fashion trends and dress codes, and not without good reason.
Almost universally acclaimed as a destination for international conference and trade fairs and a much cheaper fashion town than the flashy Hong Kong, Shenzhen offer those with business wisdom or fashion savvy plenty of chances to dress up a little.
To get yourself into high-class restaurants, nightspots or clubs, smart casual attire at least is advised. Just check the dress code of the venue before your arrival.
To leave a lasting impression in more formal occasions like a scehduled business meeting, an international/regional conference, or a grand reception dinners of some sort, you should l bring a couple of decent formal suits or fancy dress, or look up the required clothes in the invitation letter.
Traval light:
Considering that shopping in Shenzhen is much cheaper than that in Hong Kong and the almost guaranteed long lines waiting at the immigration & customs, you may want to pack and travel fairly light. Just don't forget to bring along a wad of cash or your credit cards.
