Things to do in Shenzhen, Guangdong: The Best Sights & Landmarks
Located in the south of China, the cityscape--Shenzhen-- is home to some of the most modern buildings worldwide. Although this area is largely industrial, it offers many tourist attractions, such as the Chinese folk Culture Village, Safari Park, and beach resorts. Perhaps one of the most frequented tourist attractions is Window of the World, which offers replicas of the Eiffel tower, the pyramids, and Taj Mahal.

Also known as Fairy Lake Botanical Gardens, this massive, verdant escape has lots to offer even if you are not a botanical buff. A popular pastime among locals is to rent a boat and explore the lake.

Beautiful flower gardens, cactus gardens, shade plants, a Buddhist temple. Initially we saw a monument on a high hill and thought that was the temple and decided to climb to it. After about a half hour of climbing in Shenzhen weather, we came to a direction post and decided to go to the lower down places instead. So although we saw the fairy lake, the water plant nursery, the shade plants, cacti, and lots of beautiful flower areas, we missed the paleontology garden and some other cool places. As it was, we left so late that two cab drivers didn't want to take the 34 minute ride to our hotel because they wanted to quit work at 4.

We could watch the evening light show from our 33rd floor room at Shangri-La Hotel Futian, but we decided to watch the Saturday Evening show from the Horizon lounge at 7pm. We had some wines and appetizers while watch the dazzling display of LED lights on a grand scale. Yes, indeed that China is prospering and we were in awed of the spectacular display of the lights. Although the display only lasted approximately little over ten minutes, but it left a long lasting impression for both of us.

Great place for shopping, dinning, people-watching, and sightseeing. Amazing architecture of some buildings and structures. Nice hotels, manmade lake, and canals in the area. Lots of eateries.
7. China Folk Culture Village

This worthwhile attraction is part of Overseas Chinese Village (better known as OCT) and showcases the myriad minority ethnic cultures that make this vast country much less homogenous than imagined. It also serves as a great introduction to the history and traditions of China.

I loved the place (more than any other places in Shenzhen). I have focused on the larger sub-park, on left side, about Chinese landscapes and historic architectures : it is really great: a few hundred sites, each like 100 m2, showing a known temple, palace, mountain, gorge, walls (...), etc .. Each site is fairly well designed, with concrete (no plastic), correct painting, etc, including a few water flows to mimic rivers or cascades. It was great to guide the kids, teach them and let them discover all the variety of China. The funny part is that these sites are located, inside the park, on a kind of huge Chinese map (upside-down, though, you’ll see). It was by far my best experience in Shenzhen (more than Windows of World as second choice) or others. Note that I think there aren’t any playing items here (no roller coaster, etc). Written English information (dates, location, short historic background). Inside the park, there is one smaller half, on the right side, about pure Chinese folk items (presumably dances, houses, clothing, etc): it is not my priority (it would be too Chinese to let me appreciate it as it should): I have not been there and I cannot judge.
