How Expensive is Shenzhen China? TRAVEL COST

[@vitoscaletta3431]

In China, Shenzhen’s price level will be considered very expensive.

[@gourmetpro6784]

exactly, thats why only fools buy stuff in shenzhen

[@vallonchanlaw7244]

Actually the most expensive city in China will be Shanghai

[@twelvemast]

I think only the housing price is much higher than other major cities.

[@j.s180]

You are wrong. Price in Shenzhen is very cheap comparing to small cities considering the wages and income in Shenzhen. Only house price is high.

WOW, You actually had CASH! Haven't seen those for years.

i would eat like crazy i went there, try everything that caught my attention. I would say it's pretty decently priced.

[@corriedebeer799]

That is the joy of travelling, experience all those new things.

[@jackzhi3172]

Looks a little cheaper than Shanghai. The price level in Shanghai is crazy, sometimes even higher than many US cities.

[@PatMaxAdventures]

I agree. Shanghai is more expensive than my home town of San Diego. I have been to Shanghai twice.

That "Juice" you had for breakfast... Is actually "Sweet Silver Ear Fungus Soup / Snow Fungus Soup", those pulps you tasted are the snow fungus... Which is a common sweet drink in China.

Thank you for taking the time to show the prices of the different restaurants. It is definitely very helpful! I was in Beijing a few months ago. As you know if you don't budget yourself all your money is gone on food! Great video!

[@PatMaxAdventures]

Thank you! You are absolutely right. We always need to watch our money and what we spend it on.

[@CalvinLake17]

Burger king is actually quite cheap becoz it wants to gain more share in the fast food market where McD and KFC mainly play in. As a consumer im happy to get a lunch combo (1 double chicken burger + 1 medium fries + 5 chicken nuggets + 1 medium drink) for 20RMB.
Metro is cheap too. Even if u travel for 40km the cost may be 8RMB i guess, while maybe 40RMB in HK

[@ipfreak]

well, the cost of food from those fancy food courts usually at least double the prices of other regular places. so if you ate somewhere less fancy, you can easily cut off 30%~50% of food cost.

[@qizhang5129]

food and transportation is pretty cheap if you don't go to fancy restaurants, but accommodation is a little bit expensive because the high house price.

[@PatMaxAdventures]

I agree.

[@P3tzee]

Is airbnb popular? Do you know the prices for staying with airbnb in Shenzhen

[@Namoari941]

It is cheap if compare to the prices in America (about 2x more expensive), but the average workers there make just 500$/month...then is considered expensive.

Wow, cash! Long time no see😂. Maybe you will find a bit hard to use cash in Chinese. As a university student in China, I haven't used cash for more than 3 years. It will be really helpful to get your Wechat pay or Alipay ready before travelling to China.
BTW, have a good time travelling in China. Like your videos!❤

[@tka1528]

I been using cash since moving here, cash is king in most places but China😂

[@sarpkaya1786]

I live in Nanshan, life here is more expensive than Australia.
I understand you compare RMB with USD but USD value is increasing a lot for the last 2 years. I suggest you to use other currencies as well.
Also in China, menu pictures are fake and there is always hidden table charges. So you might expect to pay 35 RMB but end up paying 45.

[@dongchenli4616]

Table charges? I never see that in Shenzhen

[@RigszcomLTD]

I know this video was posted 1year ago so I don't know if you're going to see this but how much did it cost you to get out to China from America Jesus everything the overall cost from you leaving America to you arriving at your hotel hostel

you'll never know how expensive something is when you constantly compare it to USD.

Shenzhen doesn't expensive at all, until you need to worry about Accommodation, which is quiet expensive in renting, and even much more expensive, when you try to buy a house. BTW, there are a lot Walmart in Shenzhen, the prices are even cheaper there !

In Shenzhen some restaurants can be very expensive, especially in a fancy places, but sometimes chinese food is boring, amazing food is in Shopping Park- Azurro with amazing italian food or the best one for wine and steaks is SHARK

[@zubairqaiser7812]

Very nice tour brother....I hit a subscribe and like for you for this vedio..

[@suadcokljat1045]

Go to Coco park or City mall and have a beer for 75RMB and pizza for 130RMB... Go to some fancy pub or steak house and have steak for 300-600RMB. Go to some good club in Futian or Luohu and drinks cost similar to London clubs (50-100RMB shot, 150-200RMB cocktail). So my point - not all Shenzhen is so cheap. Btw, FamilyMart - my favorite! Cheers
