2 weeks in Shenzhen - 5,000 years of history - CycleBlaze

2 weeks in Shenzhen

Shenzhen is already one of the richest cities in China. It's in the middle of the Pearl River Delta, which will overtake Tokyo to become the largest urban (metro) area in the world.

There are several Couch Surfing events and meetups every week. So I stayed two weeks.

The grey car was parked on the pedestrian crossing for at least 30 minutes, impeding the flow of traffic. The driver is standing next to it. He just hung around, killing time.

The Window of the World theme park is one of the few tourist attractions in Shenzhen. The model of Manhattan must be at least 17 years old.

In the evening, there was a show in the amphitheatre. The model of the Eiffel Tower looked really cheap with the advertising sign (s) on it.

This cycleway ends with stairs. Things like this makes cycling in Shenzhen a nightmare.
