It is said that each year millions of shoppers come and go to Shenzhen. The city that was some years ago an industrial area has rapidly developed into a Mecca for shoppers.

Shenzhen has to offer in terms of shopping most of what any big city does, and in some areas, even more.

Even though the city is more and more foreigner-friendly, there are still difficulties for foreigners to do shopping in and around Shenzhen. Where to go? What to buy? How to make myself understood? How to get the best bargain? What bus should I take? What’s the nearest Metro station? All are some of the questions we heard hundreds of times while conducting interviews for Shopping in Shenzhen.
