Shenzhen Tour
Located in the south of Guangdong Province, Shenzhen is separated from Hong Kong by the Shenzhen River in the south, so Shenzhen is always
known as "Back Garden of Hong Kong". It is one of the riches cities in China and a Special Economic Zone attracting migrant workers, businessmen and investors.
Though Shenzhen is a highly developed modern city, compared with many big cities in China, Shenzhen does not have many natural scenic spots. Shenzhen has established some artificial ones to attract travelers. Shenzhen is also a useful transport hub bridging Mainland China and Hong Kong.
