Shenzhen Travel Safety Guide — China

Safety Score: 7.5/10 · Value: 8/10 · Beauty: 6.1/10

Shenzhen is arguably the most remarkable city-building story in human history, in 1980 it was a fishing village of 30,000 people; today it is a megacity of 17 million and China's richest city per capita. Designated as China's first Special Economic Zone, it became the world's electronics manufacturing capital (home to Huawei, Tencent, BYD, DJI) and a testing ground for urban innovation. For travellers it offers the world's best electronics market (Huaqiangbei), a thriving art and design scene at OCT-LOFT, easy access to Hong Kong (30 minutes by metro), and some of the best BBQ and Sichuan restaurants outside their home regions.
