The 10 Best Things to do in Shenzhen, Guangdong
Located in the south of China, the cityscape--Shenzhen-- is home to some of the most modern buildings worldwide. Although this area is largely industrial, it offers many tourist attractions, such as the Chinese folk Culture Village, Safari Park, and beach resorts. Perhaps one of the most frequented tourist attractions is Window of the World, which offers replicas of the Eiffel tower, the pyramids, and Taj Mahal.

1. Wutong Mountain
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 190 reviews
Hiking Wutong Mountain is one of Shenzhen citizens’ most popular activities (and offers trails for all experience levels). It’s a great way to get exercise and breathtaking vistas. On a clear day you can see Hong Kong.

The climb/walk is not easy... Many steps... parts are unpaved and slippery... That being said- the views are incredible... You can see clear across the city to Nanshan... Bring sunscreen, water... there are places along the route for drinks and snacks

We went for an enjoyable walk and hike in Shenzhen Lianhuashan Park. It was a spring-like sunny day. The spring flowers will soon be out. Every invigorating environment.
3. Shenzhen Bay Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 214 reviews
Reviewed By Kindofkorean - Shenzhen, China
This is a beautiful park along Shenzhen Bay stretching from Shekou Port to Futian ( 13 kilometres of well maintained green areas.) Some areas are not open for biking during the weekends. There are small beaches for kids to wade and go fishing. There is a fantastic view of Hong Kong across the bay. This is a not to be missed area if you love strolling along the water. If you go early in the morning or evening you can see older folks dancing, practicing martial arts or calligraphy.

Great place for shopping, dinning, people-watching, and sightseeing. Amazing architecture of some buildings and structures. Nice hotels, manmade lake, and canals in the area. Lots of eateries.
6. China Folk Culture Village
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 1,258 reviews
This worthwhile attraction is part of Overseas Chinese Village (better known as OCT) and showcases the myriad minority ethnic cultures that make this vast country much less homogenous than imagined. It also serves as a great introduction to the history and traditions of China.

I loved the place (more than any other places in Shenzhen). I have focused on the larger sub-park, on left side, about Chinese landscapes and historic architectures : it is really great: a few hundred sites, each like 100 m2, showing a known temple, palace, mountain, gorge, walls (...), etc .. Each site is fairly well designed, with concrete (no plastic), correct painting, etc, including a few water flows to mimic rivers or cascades. It was great to guide the kids, teach them and let them discover all the variety of China. The funny part is that these sites are located, inside the park, on a kind of huge Chinese map (upside-down, though, you’ll see). It was by far my best experience in Shenzhen (more than Windows of World as second choice) or others. Note that I think there aren’t any playing items here (no roller coaster, etc). Written English information (dates, location, short historic background). Inside the park, there is one smaller half, on the right side, about pure Chinese folk items (presumably dances, houses, clothing, etc): it is not my priority (it would be too Chinese to let me appreciate it as it should): I have not been there and I cannot judge.

Everything you needed relating to computer, cellular, electronic devices; I bough a gimbal stabilizer for less than $60 USD wife was happy with her purchase of cosmetic related devices as well. Remember to bargain and never pay for the asking price.
9. Dafen Oil Painting Village
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 562 reviews
One of the most popular and enjoyable daytrips from Shenzhen, this village is almost entirely dedicated to painting. Get a self-portrait done or request a freshly-painted Van Gogh or Rembrandt.
Reviewed By bruceg819 - Portimao, Portugal
Dafen is where we go to relax, to buy art and art supplies, to walk, to see artists in action, to enjoy the architecture and the street vibe. There are art shops as far as the eye can see, workshops that do framing, printing and block mounting. The silk thread art is extraordinary but the oils and watercolors are why people go there. The original work is impressive but the reproductions are what make Dafen for me. Hand painted reproductions that are excellent but do not pretend to be anything other than reproductions.

Right in the heart of Futian District in Shenzhen is this huge mega mall Coco Park with sprawling architecture filled with awesome food, fashion and entertainment outlets galore. Definitely not to be missed.
