Shaped by the subtropical marine climate, Shenzhen has a mild climate as well as plentiful sunshine and rainfall all year round. The measured temperature is 22.4
C (72.32F) on average. Long but not overly hot summers and short but relatively warm winters make Shenzhen the ideal tourist destination in any season. However it should perhaps be noted that Shenzhen is located at the estuary of the Pearl River and is therefore an area which is often influenced by typhoons. Generally the most significant typhoons occur from May to December and especially from July to September. The best time to visit Shenzhen is really August to September when a series of celebrations are held. Additionally, the China Hi-Tech Fair is held in Shenzhen from the 12th to the 17th of October every year. It is therefore always advisable to make reservations well in advance of your visit to Shenzhen as the area is particularly busy during these days.

In my 3 years in shenzhen, first winter starts september to march.. coldest around feb..
this year, weather change so sudden, winter stop at april and starts to get cold this november 12 only, from 27 drop to 16, just in a day.
no such branded ones can buy here and u might have problem in customs if u get fake, though u can not see diferrence fake/ class a to original, better get some branded things in hongkong. get 1 to 3 bag is ok, as long as no name. china custom dont allow plenty of copy things to go out from their country.
Also if the price is 100 rmb, bargain for half, so its 50 rmb, thats a wise buyer or bargain for 40 if u want to get more. if they dont give it to u, go and find other shop, they will chase and give it to ur price ; gets
be safe, MAY to JULY is great time to be in shenzhen.

Hi I am going to guanzhou and i have taken single entry chinese visa. Do i need a seperate visa to go from guanzhou to shenzhen. I believe since both cities are part of china so one single entry visa should be sufficient to visit both places. After shenzhen i plan to visit hongkong and i have found for trip of less than 14 days duration, visa for hongkong is free on arrival. Please suggest if it is not so.

Mr.Jason replied:
No, do not need another special visa to enter Shenzhen if you have had a Chinese visa to Guangzhou. Yes, you can stay in Hong Kong within 14 days without a HK Visa. Good Luck~
Nov. 16,2009 10:34
Ms.bing(china) replied:
SAME visa shenzhen and guangzho, but take note if you EXIT your visa to hk not consuming the 30 days in china, u can not use the same visa again. go to hk MIGHT get a new visa in china resources in wan chai, take mtr to exit A1, to the red building china resources, u need ur return ticket and hotel booking u can get, 15 or 30 days, u can use it again to go back china.

I will be in Hongkong on 27/11/2009. I would like to travel to Shenzhen on 1/12/2009.
How's is the weather(temperature)like? How long does it take for us to go to shenzhen?
Coach or train? which is more economy for family of 4?
Oct. 21,2009 22:03
Mr.Jason replied:
It can be 20C or above in daytime. You can take both bus or train to Shenzhen from Hong Kong. It costs similar. My suggestion is to use the East Rail from Hung Hom to LoWu, about 45 minutes, for 33HKD.
Nov. 16,2009 10:30
Ms.bing(china) replied:
you forgot to tell the cost of train from HK airport to hunghom and time take to get there. its costly and time consuming. it can be around 70 - 80 hkd from airport to hunghom - to shenzhen
read my suggestions to take bus to shenghui mtr station, the next time is luwo, thats shenzhen and cross border.

Hello,
We plan to tour Shenzhen during Christmas 2009. Please suggest the best way to travel from HK airport to Shenzhen and the approx cost and time required. Where is the best shopping district in Shenzhen and what are the hotels nearby? What type of clothings should I bring?
Thanks.
Oct. 21,2009 02:45
Mr.Andrew replied:
Hong Kong Airport has cross-border shuttle but to Shenzhen. I takes one hour to Luohu district and the fare is aboout 150HKD. If you want cheaper way. Use Airport Bus A21 to Hung Hom Train Station to catch the Train to Lowu (Luohu) via East Rail. It costs less than 70HKD, perhaps you may take more time on the way. As to the weather in Dec, it is about 10-17C. Quite warm I think. Good Luck~
Oct. 21,2009 08:50
Mrs.Wong(Malaysia) replied:
Thank you Mr Andrew, for the information. Would you be able to recommend a good shopping district (in terms of range and pricing) and hotels around the area? Thanks.
Oct. 24,2009 02:31
Mr.Shan replied:
A shopping place in Shenzhen? Of course, please do shopping in Luohu where you culd find wholesale markets and commercial streets. Here is a hotels' list for you: http://www.travelchinaguide.com/hotel/shenzhen-hotels.htm

Mrs.Wong(Malaysia) replied:
Thank you Mr Shan for your information.
Oct. 27,2009 15:50
Mr.Piet(S,A) replied:
I find the most hassle free and quickest way is by ferry, straight from the airport to Shekou in Shenzhen. and then just catch a cab to your destination

Mrs.Wong(Malaysia) replied:
Thanks, Mr Piet.
Nov. 16,2009 10:26
Ms.bing(china) replied:
Dongmen is the best shopping center, but please take care of belonging and also careful of fake exchange bills. take bus n43 from HK airport to shenghui.. can ask where is bus station as its near and ask bus to shenghui, most can speak english,(20hkd)20 mins >>> get train shenghui to luwo 10 mins one stop (20 hkd) cross border takes 15 to 20 mins depending on cue of foreigners. approx time travel, 40 mins to max 90 mins. fare cost 40 hkd :) last bus is 10:30pm from airport

Mr.Leo replied:
The temperature could be kept from 10C~20C in Shenzhen during Feb. And, there will be less rainfall. So, you could wear a long-sleeves shirt jacket or just a thin sweater when you are there.

i am travelling from singapore to shenzen on4th of november. may i know what is the temperature, i heard a lot of the shopping at tongmern (EAST GATE) and also i heard that a number of the little shop over there will cheat you by swopping the RMB$100 bill to a fake which she claim, and also if you give her the good small denomination bill she will finger tip the corner of the note and claim that the note cannot be used. my friend told me if i dont believe i can try it myself if i visit there.
