Hello.. I'm planning to go to Hong Kong and Shen Zhen in May.
Since i think there's been quite a few threads on HK... I think I'd only ask about Shen Zhen...

can recommend any hotel to stay in Shen Zhen? Anything to look out for? Muz be aware of anything?

ok i found it..

go to http://cars.sgforums.com/?action=thread_display&thread_id=236894&page=5 and read the post by Tayysj (that's my old nick) somewhere near the bottom of the page.. 2nd post from the bottom (unless someone else posted something new)

in summary, the infrastructure is quite good. There is tourist spot at the left end of the metro line (last station i think) with the big theme park with different man-made models of the different parts of the world (yes there is a singapore section with a mini merlion i was like OMG). The PLACE is actually very nice, quite interested to see all the little worlds.

BUT! The PEOPLE are HORRENDOUS. the subway is first class, but the passengers are third (sorry if u r frm there, this is just a general remark).

likewise for the tourist spot i went to as described above, the PLACE is great, but the PEOPLE are not.

there's this stone column with carvings in the (egypt i think) section and pple were just spitting at it as and when they felt like it.. and pple actually touch it and take photos on it without knowing after that.. i felt disgusted.. oh well.

so yea u can ask me qns too xD

shenzhen is china’s most advance city .

Vigelic SG

i think shanghai is more advanced. shenzhen's still rather backward in some areas.

we were on a free & easy holiday so we decided to stay in a hotel in HK. Shen Zhen is only a few hrs away from our hotel in hong kong (kowloon island) by train so it's quite efficient. U can hope over to shenzhen in the morning and return at night.. and repeat the next day if you want to go again. however, as u can see we decided to return by afternoon and never go back.. going back to hong kong was like "OMG! I CAN BREATHE AND WALK WITHOUT WORRIES!"

oh well.

anyway, if u plan to hop between HK and SZ then make sure ur hotel is not like in hong kong island or something cos that means u will b damn far from SZ and u are only adding another hour to ur train ride..
