The experience

The guide meets you at your Shenzhen hotel, railway station, or border crossing (if arriving from Hong Kong or Macau) and spends a few minutes understanding what you want to do that day. From there, the itinerary is yours to set. Window of the World holds miniature replicas of global landmarks. Splendid China Folk Village showcases regional Chinese cultures, customs and architecture alongside live performances and horse-riding shows. Diwang Mansion, one of Shenzhen's modern landmarks, offers a bird's-eye view of the city's skyline and Hong Kong's across the water from the 69th-floor observation deck. If shopping is the priority, the guide can take you to Huaqiang Bei or Luohu Commercial City. For business travelers, the guide arranges visits to the specific locations you need.

The driver operates an air-conditioned vehicle throughout the day, and depending on the option you book, lunch is included. The tour runs seven to eight hours. Additional hours beyond eight are charged at USD 25 per hour. Drop-off happens at your Shenzhen hotel or another downtown location you request. The guide speaks English and can adjust the pace and stops based on what interests you most, whether that's cultural sites, modern landmarks, shopping, or business locations.
