Located on the southern coast of the Guangdong province, Shenzhen is a remarkably unique city. Referred to by some as the overnight city, Shenzhen has grown rapidly since it was declared a Special Economic Zone by the Chinese government in 1979. Due to its coastal nature and the fact that it lies a ferry ride away from a major international hub like Hong Kong, Shenzhen is a very popular destination for business travelers and tourists alike.

The ferry itself leaves from Shekou harbor, a very popular destination in its own right. Shekou, or snake’s mouth to many of the local expats who inhabit the area, is known for its bars, nightlife, and fairly authentic western cuisine. In addition, Shekou also has one of the most unique venues in all of China - the MingHua. This grounded cruise liner turned hotel is a can’t miss attraction regardless of the time of day.

While often overlooked, this overnight city shouldn’t be missed.

The area of Shenzhen is approximately 1,991 square kilometers.
