I've been to Shenzhen 6 times, and here's my advice...
😍 Wow, Shenzhen is like a shining pearl in winter. It has warm sunshine and countless wonderful things to see and do. It's a great place for a relaxing and unforgettable trip! 😎 Here's a super useful guide to visiting Shenzhen in winter.
🚇【Transportation Guide】
🚕 Taxis are convenient for getting around the city, and you can reach most attractions easily. There are also many ride-hailing services in Shenzhen, so you can get a ride whenever you need one.
🚌 Buses are also very convenient, with a wide range of routes. You can reach many popular places by bus and enjoy the city scenery along the way. If you're going to a more distant attraction, the subway is a great choice. Shenzhen's subway network is very developed, and most important areas are connected by subway.
🧥【Clothing Suggestions】
👚 The temperature is relatively comfortable during the day, so a thin sweater or sweatshirt with a casual jacket, such as a denim jacket, is suitable.
👖 It may be a little cool in the morning and evening, so it's best to bring a light windbreaker or thin jacket to keep warm. Jeans or casual pants are comfortable and convenient for sightseeing.
