A gastronomic melting pot. Being a city of migrants, you can find the best cuisine from each of the provinces of China, with a strong Cantonese base.

Incredible variety of regional Chinese cuisines.Strong influence of refined Cantonese cuisine and dim sum.Fresh seafood markets and a growing fine dining scene.
Less 'iconic dishes' typical of the city.It is necessary to investigate to find the hidden gems among the immense offer.

Culture

A cultural and design scene in full swing, although very young. The focus is on contemporary art, design and creativity.

OCT-LOFT is a vibrant art and design district in former industrial warehouses.Dafen Oil Painting Village is a unique phenomenon of mass art production.Home of Shenzhen Design Week and a growing network of galleries and museums.
Lacking the deep cultural heritage of Beijing or Xi'an.Most museums focus on the recent history and future of the city.

The people are efficient and used to interacting with foreigners for business, but life is very fast and the language barrier is high for deep interactions.

In business and technology, many speak English.Being a city of migrants, there is no closed 'localism'.
Very fast pace of life and focused on work.English is very rare in taxis, small shops or local restaurants.

Tips for Gastronomy

Try the Dim Sum

Thanks to the Cantonese influence, Shenzhen is a great place to enjoy an authentic 'yum cha' (tea drinking) with a huge variety of dim sum.

Eat like a Migrant

The true culinary gem of Shenzhen is the chance to try authentic cuisine from any Chinese province. Look for restaurants specializing in Sichuan (spicy), Hunan, or Yunnan cuisine.

Coconut as a Drink

A very popular and refreshing drink is coconut water served directly from the whole coconut, often with the pulp to eat. Look for them in street stalls and shopping centers.
