Shenzhen China - Home Sweet Home

Driving and/or getting around is a whole new ball game. Pedestrians just blindly meander onto crowded streets and highways and car collisions are commonplace with some that rival those of Hollywood movie pile ups. Fasten your seatbelt, enjoy the ride. Awhile ago I put this together, it's a little buggy but it'll definitely give you an insight into the type of driving situation just north of Shenzhen you might have to deal with. More here

 

When we were first considering moving out here, I had a difficult time finding pictures to show my family what to expect besides the few sites we found primarily focused on the tourist destinations here.

About Shenzhen

 Around Shenzhen

 

Shenzhen is located in southern China, reachable from Hong Kong by ferry or bus. We live in an area called OCT (Overseas Chinese Town) and our apartment is about 5 minutes drive from the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Windows of the World, Playa Maya, Happy Valley, and Splendid China Theme Parks. There is also a new subway in town which makes our lives much easier.  Baoan airport is about 30 minutes from our home.

We live in Nanshan, just above Shekou and my office is in Chang'An

There might be not much on TV to watch but there's no problem finding DVD's for the kiddies to watch here, about a buck each!

I just recently stumbled across these articles from the St. Petersburg Times, definitely one of the better pieces I've seen about the region and specifically Shenzhen.

    SHENZHEN, China - This may be the biggest place you've never heard of.

    More people live here than New York city.

    It has more factories than the Midwest; a skyscraper taller than the Empire State Building; the busiest port in China.
