There’s More To Shenzhen Than Shopping And Theme Parks

Until now, uncovering Shenzhen’s secrets required a Mandarin interpreter and an English-speaking guide. Ideally, one with a passion for the city and years of experience, providing the nuanced background that really brings understanding and insight to a place.

From the people who run Shenzhen China’s #1 resource, ShenzhenParty.com, they now deliver the only authoritative guide to Shenzhen that you will ever need. With a city like Shenzhen that transforms itself at break neck speeds, this book will make you more informed about what there is to do and see here than even a Shenzhen local.

Whether you are coming to Shenzhen for a day trip, for business, or more, Shenzhen: The Book is the only resource you’ll ever need to make the most of your time in Shenzhen.

Far from Xian’s Terracotta Army, or Northern China’s Great Wall, Shenzhen doesn’t normally come to mind as a destination on the tourist path. Yet, Shenzhen is an easy and rewarding adventure for a day trip, or better yet, a weekend adventure for anyone visiting Hong Kong. For real aficionados, even a week won’t be enough time to experience it all.

Keep Up With The Fast Pace Of China’S Most Elusive New Metropolis

Shenzhen moves quickly. New skyscrapers sprout-up with no warning. Imagine how long it would take you to discover the nuances of this ever changing city. Nearly no one that lives in Shenzhen was born in Shenzhen.

It is fair to say that even the locals, including cab drivers, don’t know everything you will find out in Shenzhen: The Book. Even more, the authors, Karen & Ted Rule, are true authorities on Shenzhen—they’ve known Shenzhen since before it was a city.

Ted & Karen first laid eyes on Shenzhen in 1971 when they took a taxi to the Lok Ma Chau police station in Hong Kong’s New Territories. Not much was there. But from then on Shenzhen became increasingly enmeshed in their lives.

Karen was originally a historian by training and she immersed herself in the fascinating but little known history of the area. Ted expanded his already considerable waistline by sampling the culinary delights and sneakily recording them. And thus this tome was born.

Where else are you going to get the kind of insights and perspective then from a couple who experienced the unfathomable growth of Shenzhen from the beginning of China’s economic reforms and Shenzhen’s boom?
