Shenzhen Guidebook?

Hello,

We're coming to Shenzhen in September '09 with the children, we're wondering if there is a Shenzhen guidebook available somewhere.

Thank you
FD

Re: Shenzhen Guidebook?

Hello Franck,

There are 2 books about Shenzhen written by Lonely Writers Publishing. The work is good, there are lot of info on many areas, such as children, business, arts, transportation, history (yeah, Shenzhen's got some), buying of property, visas, health, learning Chinese, shopping, restaurants, etc. Both books account for more than 500 pages with plenty of English maps!

“Living in Shenzhen” has 266 pages with 12 chapters:
1. Arts in Shenzhen
2. Business
3. Children
4. Education
5. Health
6. History
7. Landing in Shenzhen
8. Living in Shekou
9. Settling down
10. Sport Associations
11. Transportation
12. Useful Information

“Shopping in Shenzhen” has 271 pages with 5 chapters:
   1. Shopping in Shenzhen
   2. Shenzhen’s Best Hotels
   3. Shenzhen’s Finest Cuisine
   4. A Day in Shenzhen
   5. Splendid Shenzhen

Overall, it's even better than what you could find i a traditional guide, as it's about living in Shenzhen, not only traveling.

Cheers,
LWP
