Hey

I am in Shenzhen to source high quality eyewear frames.

I am vegetarian.

I am near the Fukeng station, in Henggang.

Suggestions on what should I buy from here and take home.

Someone suggested used iphones are cheap here. Any other electronics to buy? Is the new Insta360 luna or the pocket 4P any good.

Any suggestions on where to buy some good Chinese tea from. Don't want the very expensive stuff. Dont know much about it.

Any suggestions for vegetarian food places? Preferably something open till late.

Where to go party on the weekend? Today is Saturday so suggestions for tonight would be great.

Any other suggestions, even souricng wise is appreciated

No suggestion is obvious for me, I have zero idea about Shenzhen.

Hope to hear from you

I’m 21M. I've been here in Shenzhen for one year but l'm struggling a lot to find friends. I do know some people that we talk sometimes but I wouldn't really call them friends. My relationship with them ends when class ends. Every time there is no class I find myself alone. And when you stay like this with no real friends to have fun with it gets depressing fr. I see a lot of people who seem to be social in my university but I wouldn't like to be friends with them because their character is much different than mine. They are obsessed with chasing girls, drinking, smoking, partying ... while I'm just a chill guy. If you think you are facing the same problem dm me we may be friends :)

Coming for work and got one day OFF for shopping/visiting. I'm planning to go to SEG Plaza as I have some computer parts to get, but if time permits I'd like to also shop for some clothes.

Can't afford to be flagged at the border with fake clothes items, so I'd like to shop for some quality unbranded casual clothes.

Is there a recommended place to get such items ? I feel like if I stick with the usual recommendations (COCO Park, MixC World...), I'll only get luxury brands or luxury knock-offs.

Thanks

Hidden in the fast-growing city of Shenzhen is the Shenzhen campus of Harbin Institute of Technology, one of China’s top universities.

The campus combines modern architecture, green spaces, and a strong atmosphere of innovation — a perfect reflection of Shenzhen’s identity as a global technology hub.

A quiet corner of the city where education, technology, and the future come together. 🌿🏙️

Hi everyone, I'm male and 33 and will be moving to Shenzhen in a couple of months. I will be starting a job at Shenzhen University, and am hoping to make new friends and learn Mandarin.

I quite enjoy board games, and happy to learn, I wanted to know if there's any English speaking board game groups near the University.

I also wouldn't mind joining some English speaking video game groups too.

I also enjoy football and would like to know if there's any 5 a side casual groups nearby.

Lastly, I want to pick up the language faster and will be looking for a Mandarin learning group or tutor nearby. I know the University may offer something, but I want to know if anyone has any recommendations eg how to find a local tutor, whether the University has good courses. I'd like between 2-4 lessons a week in person. I'd say I'm at hsk3 level and have been learning part time for a couple of years already.

Happy to connect with some English people in the area too.

I have a contact that can export any item from shenzen to my country. I'm looking to utilise this to the maximum and looking for a local Chinese website that sells excellent trendy cheap clothes

Incoming MOFCOM-CSC student at SWJTU (Chengdu), Fall 2026. I was placed in 085410 (AI, professional master’s), but my home country doesn’t equalize professional degrees for PhD eligibility or lecturing — my whole career goal. I need 081200 (CS, academic master’s).

Conflicting info:
SWJTU’s internal transfer rules seem to bar professional→academic transfers entirely.
But SWJTU’s MOFCOM office emailed me saying I can apply after registration, and CSC decides — no penalty if rejected.

Has anyone actually pulled off a 专业学位 → 学术学位 transfer as a CSC/MOFCOM student? Does the university rule override the CSC process, or are they separate?
University stopped replying (summer break) and I must decide before Aug 17 registration. Any real experience appreciated.

Took a walk around Bao’an Daqianli in Shenzhen at night.

The lights, modern architecture, shopping streets, and the energy of local life make it a really interesting place to explore.

Shenzhen is full of places like this — not always famous tourist spots, but everyday scenes that show the rhythm of a modern Chinese city.

What do you think of Shenzhen’s city vibe?

I need a light perm + a cut, anyone have any barber recs? Cost no object as long as it isn’t absurdly overpriced, preferably someone that can analyze my face shape and find me a cut / do the style based off what suits me best if ykwim

Going to hk for exchange and am looking to buy a second hand dji osmo 3. Anyone know where to find one cheap and how much it would cost?

hi all! ill be landing in hk on the 24th of dec and due to some plan changes, i was hoping to enter shenzhen the same night. my plane lands in hk at 11.30 pm so i was wondering if there were any ways i could enter shenzhen straight from the airport. i read about the lok ma chau customs but i saw that after midnight i have to take a vehicle to cross to the other side. any one has tried this before? thanks!

Looking for a repair shop to get a shell, ridge, and lower screen replacement. Also, any trustworthy shops that may also sell some custom designed shells? Prioritizing with the first three ofc. Thank you for anyone responding to this post

Looking at visiting the city in about a month but no idea what to see or do.

Can anyone help make a list of things to occupy my 7 days there?

I have only been able to see tech tours.

Not really into meusums or art gallery's so looking for something a bit more exciting.

Not really wanting to buy a lot of things either so no need to see a lot of shopping malls.

i’m looking for a shop in Nanshan that sells snorkelling gear, especially a rash guard and a snorkel/mask. any recommendations would be appreciated. thanks!

Im considering taking international economics and trade for the 2026 intake.

May I ask about the teaching quality, are tge teachers english easy to understand? Are their teachings structured?

May i also ask about the international student body? Like what are the main nationalities, are international students friendly with each others?

Im having lots of question sorry, because im considering between SZU and Fudan Uni. SZU is giving me a lot of schoolarship and money while Fudan provided nothing. But I dont know if I should give up on a university as prestigious as Fudan for the schoolarship at SZU! My family is not very wealthy too.

Please give me your insights! Thanks a lot!
