Shenzhen is a modern financial and commercial metropolis in China; however, it lacks the history and natural beauties which attract visitors to many of the other big cities in China. In recent years the city has compensated by developing excellent theme parks and man-made scenic spots. These modern facilities have succeeded in drawing in crowds of tourists, eager to check out the contemporary attractions.
Window of the World, a theme-park near to Shenzhen Bay, is one of the highlights of Shenzhen. The park displays miniature versions of more than 130 world famous sites, from each of the five continents. Here you are able to visit many of the world's great landmarks in just one day. Of course, since you are in China, you will also want to explore some of China's most well-known sites. Splendid China and China Folk Culture Villages are two special destinations built in Shenzhen to that will introduce you to many interesting aspects of China's culture and scenery. Splendid China features miniature replicas of splendid Chinese historical sites and charming natural beauties. China Folk Culture Villages will introduce you to the cultures of the many Chinese ethnic groups. Its highlights include life-sized examples of distinctive buildings from each group, as well as rich ethnic performances.
Happy Valley (Happy Kingdom), which is near to the Window of the World, is the largest theme park in Shenzhen and consists of nine major projects, including a Spanish Square, Cartoon City, the Adventure Hill, and the Maya Water Park. While at Happy Valley, you can join in the many exciting games and enjoy a variety of excellent performances which cater to both children and adults. Happy Valley is a full service park, providing visitors with everything from sightseeing, entertainment, catering and accommodations, to shopping.
Besides, there are still many attractions worth a visit in the city. Among of them, Shenzhen Xianhu Botanical Garden, Shenzhen Safari Park, Da Meisha and Xiao Meisha Scenic Area (two excellent bathing beaches), Minsk World (a theme park), and Meridian View Center (also called the window of Shenzhen) are highly recommended. Moreover, Xili Lake Resort endowed with enchanting natural view offers a quiet place for citizens to be away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Hi! I'm a US citizen, currently studying abroad in South Korea. My passport is from the USA and I have a Korean student visa. I was in Hong Kong and Beijing earlier this year and had to obtain a visa for 30 days for Beijing.
In November, my friend and I (we're both US citizens and studying in S. Korea), are going to ShenZhen for a concert. We will be there for about 3 days max, and then be in Hong Kong for the next two days. We're either flying in to ShenZhen or Hong Kong. I've heard mix answers about how to get a visa for ShenZhen. The travel agency at school said it'd be USD $130...which is expensive for a 3 day trip. I've heard you can get one at the border too, but I've also heard that it is no longer the case. What should we do? Thank you so much for your help!

Hi,Shita. I suggest you visit this website:

Ms.Shinta(Indonesia) replied:
thanks Mr. Harris, but that page didn't help that much. I've been through it, but i didn't see what i heard that we can apply visa on arrival through specific port to Shenzhen from Hongkong and exit from the same port. This is valid for 1-2 years ago(from the previous discussions), will it still valid for now?
