Sailing Huaqiangbei
Don't stay in the main building (SEG Plaza). Each building is specialized: one in drones, another in LEDs, another in mobile components. Do a little research before you go to direct you to the right place.
Beyond Theme Parks
For a more authentic experience, visit OCT-LOFT on the weekend, when there are design markets and a creative, local atmosphere. Or explore the 'urban villages' (chengzhongcun) to see the contrast between old and new Shenzhen.
Shenzhen Speed
Everything moves fast. People walk fast, eat fast, and do business fast. Don't expect a relaxed pace. It is a city to be efficient.
Business Mindset
Interactions are often direct and goal-oriented. Exchanging business cards (or more commonly, WeChat contacts) is common practice.
Don't drink tap water
Always drink bottled water. It is cheap and found everywhere.
Air Quality
Although it has improved a lot, pollution can be a problem. Check an air quality index (AQI) and consider wearing a mask on bad days.
Cross carefully
Traffic can be heavy and vehicles, especially silent electric motorcycles, do not always respect pedestrians. Use underpasses and overpasses whenever possible.
General Security
The city is extremely safe in terms of crime. The biggest risk is being scammed in a market if you are not careful with prices or quality.
