Shēnzhèn
For most day visitors, Shēnzhèn is mostly about bargain shopping (followed by a cheap mas-
sage or good dim sum). Although the bargains are still Shēnzhèn's main draws, many excit-
ing cultural spaces have emerged that are subverting the city's reputation for vacuous con-
sumerism. Shēnzhèn hosts the Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism/Architecuture and China's ma-
jor music festivals all have SZ editions. You can buy a five-day, Shēnzhèn-only visa at the Lo
Wu border crossing (Americans, and sometimes British, excluded).
