🌟Kicking off 2024 with a fresh video! I'm super excited to share the love I have for my city with you, and I really hope you love Shenzhen just as much as I do :)
Great video!, finally someone sharing some updated stuff to see and explore in SZ! could you please share the names and adresses to the places and restos? im going there too in a few weeks and would really like to visit that bajju bar for example. thanks from Sweden!
I went to Shenzhen in 1984. I cannot grasp the dramatic change in 40 years. It's truly amazing! In '84 it was open sewer housing with concrete everything but everyone had a TV.
Shenzhen claims the fifth-largest metro system in China based on system length, and consequently, it holds the fifth-largest metro system globally by the same criterion.
I remember going to Shenzhen before it even had a subway system. Metro can be buses ferries etc so it had a ‘metro’ aka the bus but not subway trains yet 😂
Thank you for sharing an overview of Shenzhen. I plan to travel there in the Fall after visiting Singapore, Malaysa, Thailand, Hong Kong, Guangzhou and Shanghai. Due to the travel and Visa restrictions since Covid I've been unable to travel China since 2019.
The city of the future where more people from all over the world will one day call home.A truely MEGATROPOLIS of the future only thing missing is flyings cars and craft. Great content Adrian we hope more to come this year 2024 and the future from your content👍. Also can you share prices of your travel on your mega rail network and the food as well.Thanks👍
The subway fare is quite affordable since it's designed primarily for convenient city commuting, so typically ranging from 0.5 to 4 USD. As for food, prices can vary, but on average, a meal at a decent restaurant falls within the range of 5 to 15 USD.
30-40 years ago, HK was the most futuristic city in the geophysical context of China. After 1997, it remained so until Sz started bulldozing the fishing & agricultural identity to become the mega metropolis m with slick steel, glass, that it is today. That’s wonderful. HK has its beautiful harbor view and some ramnants of Victorian architecture, which added to its identity. 35 yrs from now, SZ’s super city will have gone dated. What will distinguish itself from other “modern” cities?
Thank you Adrian 🙏...I really enjoyed your presentation over this beautiful city. Friend of mine was for the work (candy factory MENTOS) in Shenzhen (2009). At first I should go with him...but because of the budget cuts I had to stay at home....😪 Nevertheless, he has come back with a great stories and nice memories....🤗
thanks Adrian for sharing this! just curious how does one stop or finish using the rented bike? can we park the bike anywhere that is a safe spot? or it has to be a designated area? I am guessing if we wanted to stop being charged on the bike, we have that option too? thanks, thought i'd ask because different countries process of renting one is different. im only familiar with the mounted designated area.
I lived there for two years. An honest opinion: Shenzhen's cool but the nightlife and culture is a bit dead. You've got coco park, but thats really it. Alot of the people who live in the city come from all over China, so it lacks a bit of its own identity like Shanghai and Hong kong. As a result, many foreigners left during Covid (im not sure if many came back). Foods awesome though and you have so many choices, travelling around is also affordable. I was able to order a different meal from a different restaurant and have it delivered for very cheap and very quick (beware though, some of the food isn't the highest quality, others is great quality). Around 10 bucks can get you a decent meal. It is modern in some parts (mostly Futian) and other parts isn't as much and its still developing. I'd recommend Shenzhen if you're interest in technology and manufacturing, there's a big mall with electronics where you can find interesting things. Overall i'd rate it a 6/10 city to live as a foreigner. Unique indeed! But definetly needs something else to make it more special.
Having lived there for a year, it was one of my favorite cities in China. I enjoyed the eclectic mix of people, culture, food, etc not to mention relatively clean, great value, and modern.
Great video - from a European perspective it seems that not so many people are using public transport in Shenzhen - busses and subways are pretty empty. How to people commute?
American, EU visiting govt officials all use disposable phones visiting China which should not be sync’d with computers at home… one of the reasons why there are so few westerners in China. Yes, u hv to do so many QR Codes, everywhere u go.
I was thinking about going to Shenzhen, but honestly I didn't find anything special in the video, maybe except the bookstore? Anyway thank you for saving me the money
What makes it modern? Glass, steel, and stadium-sized train stations? I think before SZ hits "modernity," it should first pipe in potable water for all residents. (And I hope officials don't bulldoze 向西村. That's one of my food spots in town.)
I'm too whitewashed to go visit any other country besides America. I'll be like "WOW look at this!" "WOW OMG IS THIS FOR REAL?!?" "I'm lost" "Can I get home?" "What's with these fancy scribbles?"
@@AdrianWan1 I'm not hater. The reality may be unpleasant for you, but unfortunately, it is the truth. Ask the locals during your trip about the current situation in the city: the plummeting real estate prices, the unsold apartments, factory closures, weak consumption, layoffs and the number of companies that have left the city, including Foxconn. Shenzhen, once a center of technology and innovation, is no longer so due to the West-East trade war, the Covid-19 pandemic, external political conflicts, and international sanctions on products manufactured in China, all of which are pushing investors to leave China. Shenzhen manufacturing is finished. I can also inform you about the situation in Shanghai and Beijing, which are also in a similar situation. It's like a pressure cooker ready to explode.
@@AdrianWan1 An idiot who doesn't even know his own country remains an idiot like you. Just do some research on the country's declining situation to see the reality, except in China, where only Weibo (with plenty of censorship filters from the CCP) will tell you that Shenzhen will be the next investment hub for all investors🤢🤕in the world.

sure! the baijiu bar is called 庙前三酉 (Bar SanYou) and i added the names of other places in the video. hope it helps!@@davidandersson4657
@@AdrianWan1Thanks a lot! looks forward to try!
I used to live in Shenzhen back in 2018/19 and i'm finally gonna go back this fall, it's crazy how much has changed in only 5 years
yea indeed!
New lines, shops and developments have completed, even against the backdrop of COVID-19.
Looking great! And you have a very strategic choice of contents, as China is ramping up inbound tourism for the world. Keep it up!
glad you enjoyed the video!

A lot has definitely changed! Even I get surprised by how much it’s developed every time I go back to visit.

there're designated areas where you should return the bike too :)

people go there to work their ass off so no time to enjoy I think

life hack, never check in your bag at subway stations. just point to your bag to the security people. they'd always won't bother and let you in 😂
Great video - from a European perspective it seems that not so many people are using public transport in Shenzhen - busses and subways are pretty empty. How to people commute?
All I can hear the whole video is "Just scan the QR code." Lost count of that. LOL
Wow❤❤❤ love Shenzhen
wow loathe music - who can choose music for who
I was staying less than a mile away and missed going to Gangxia Station! Wait what...
who is your travel buddy? she's energetic, friendly and fun.
she's a friend of mine since high school!
Hi! Can I check with you what is the restaurant you went to at 7:30? I tried looking for Mixc and Nanshan but I couldnt find it, thank you!
sure! it is called 元古雲境
人才公园看春笋的view是我最喜欢的深圳，果然还是深圳人懂深圳。
哈哈是呀
每五年左右都有很大变化
Is language barrier still an issue there or have they made it easier for non mandarin speakers ?
You picked up the Starbucks valley girl accent omg 😂😮
what a fabulous city
imagine being a history student in 2050, it's like open the the yt and see vídeos lol
Good work
why dont you link google maps links here?
Awesome video, what's the name of the first restaurant?
the one at upperhills is called Lon Food - 农畉!
@@AdrianWan1 thanks for the reply. My mistake, I meant the one around 6:20 in the video, with the very nice dish presentation?
ohh that one is called 元古雲境!
What were the 2 meat dishes at shanghai resto?
狮子头，东坡肉
現在深圳是很多老外來的主要目的地
Looks similar to Singapore ya?

Shenzhen has the best air quality among all the first tier cities in China. The Shenzhen's air quality is better than HongKong's too.
Is English popular there?
no, Shanghai is the most people who speak English
8;31 perfect
I thought it was all factories
Cool city

The last I checked, Shenzhen was a fishing village, what you are showing is Hong Kong.
ok boomer
@@AdrianWan1 Just kidding
hey historian, Hong Kong is also a former fishing village
wait, isnt YT banned in China? Lol
Company website application free download and maybe charge News safety
Its so crowded with tourists. When is the best time to visit?
谢谢
Hi Adrian, do u remember the name of the shanghai restaurant?
yep its called 老吉士!
@@AdrianWan1 Thank you v much, Adrian.
要去！
💯% 👍✌
Shenzhen is nice.
it surely is!

Does that AI robot have an English option?

Looks identical in many ways to Tokyo.
Shenzhen is a city whose bankruptcies are increasing day by day.
