There are various places in Shenzhen where you can go bowling. Though it could take some time to find. The lanes in those alleys are generally well maintained but most are old.

This is the best option for people living west of the city centre, Nanshan in particular. Situated in a large plaza and opposite a row of nightclubs (Face Alive and Royal 88 are local favourites), Xinjing bowling alley is located on the 6th floor of a non-descript building with giant stone elephants outside. Prices for games here vary depending on the time of day (early afternoon will be 6 RMB and late evening on weekends 18 RMB), but the staffs are friendly and keen to have foreigners around. You’ll rarely need to wait for a lane. There are plenty of Ping-Pong and snooker tables as well for those who get a bit fed up of hefting the heavier balls around.

This bowling alley is sandwiched between a KTV club, a church and a highly disreputable looking massage parlour, on the 3rd floor of a non-descript building just over the Luohu/Yantian border in Shatoujiao (沙头角). A game costs 6 RMB, shoes are 5 RMB, and there are never more than two lanes occupied at a time, so if you decide to come with a large group then it can end up being your own private room. Better yet, beer is cheap (5-15 RMB depending on brand), and there’s an English-speaking home-style pizza place two blocks away called Windsorborough (755 2555 1211) that delivers to the alley.

Conclusion

Bowling is really healthy and gentle sports for entertaining, body building(once an American had played bowling for whole day and lost 5Kg weight), or making friends(it’s interesting that in China, government officers now adopts a new habbit-inviting other officers to play bowling instead of eating together).
