Shenzhen was one of the first Chinese cities to open its doors to the outside world. Influenced by its rich neighbor-Hong Kong, it is certain that Shenzhen is a prosperous metropolis. Even so, there are not too many special souvenirs for visitors to take home. But don't be disappointed, as Shenzhen will redeem its visitors in other ways. As a fast developing metropolis, it has a good selection of department stores and shopping centers, where everything from basic commodities to high-quality brands can be found. Actually, this is an ideal destination for those who are addicted to shopping. Electrical appliances, fashionable and reasonable clothing, jewelry and seafood are some of the best choices for you to buy in Shenzhen.
Where to Buy
It is easy for you to find a place to do some shopping since Shenzhen is divided distinctly into several zones of shopping centers. It is no wonder that Dongmen Pedestrian Street is the No.1 shopping center of Shenzhen. Various kinds of shops, restaurants and cinemas are open here. In Hua Qiang Bei you will find numerous electrical products. The famous Women's World, which is an ideal place for purchasing clothing, is also located here. Other shopping zones like Nanshan, Renmin Nan and Shen Nan Zhong respectively have their own characteristics. Apart from these, the Chinese and English Street located in Yantian District attracts lots of visitors since it is under the domination of both Shenzhen and Hong Kong. What's more, this is also a tax-free street.

You can go to Shenzhen Dongmen Baima Clothes Market. Address: B1-6F, Hongzhan Commercial City, Baima Walking Street (Baima Buxingjie, 白马步行街in Chinese), Luohu District, Shenzhen.
It is renowned as the biggest wholesale market for men's clothes. You can go there by subway and get off at Laojie stop (Old Street stop).

I want to buy lots of designer stuff.Does it make sense to buy it in Beijing or at Shenzhen. Will shopping at Shenzhen save me 9000 RMB compared to if i buy the same stuff in Beijing. Just want to compare, as 9000 RMB is the round trip Airfare from Beijing to Shenzhen for me, my wife and my son if shop at shenzhen.
Can any one tell me some markets is Beijing where i can buy designer stuff ( Fake/genuine)like Gucci, Liou Vitton, Aramani (clothes,watches,sunglasses).
Thanks
Himanshu

Mr.Qi replied:
Watches at Hongqiao Market, Beijing Zoo for clothes. It is not economical to spend 9000RMB on the air ticket to go to Shenzhen, for the price difference will not be that much. :-)

Jun. 18,2009 01:50
Ms.Jane replied:
The amateurish ice skating could be found at some large department stores or supermarkets. Never seen hockey, but there is a training center at Shenzhen Stadium, so you may have a try there. BTW, you could purchase these things in HK much easier!

Are there any Indian food restaurants in Shenzhen. Am from India and not sure about food (at the moment in the Futian District.) Also can i get information on International schools in that area too. Also what is the approx salary range
Jun. 18,2009 01:46
Mr.George replied:
Yes, I know some South East Asian restaurant serving Indian food. You may have a try.
Indian Kitchen-42, Zhenhua Rd., Futian
Xin Thai-3F of COCO Park, Fuhua 3 Rd., Futian
It seems that seldom international school in Futian. You may consider the International Department of Shenzhen Foreign Languages School, which is said to be the best in Shenzhen.
