Hi,

You need to go to Shenzhen first. Transportation between Shenzhen and guangzhou are very convenient with plentiful buses and trains.

The place mentioned is hard to locate. I suggest you to take a taxi there. Be noted to give the Chinese address to your taxi driver. Remember to ask the driver the start the meter if you will take a taxi.

Hello. You can live in Luohu or Futian District. These areas are where the city and everything is, and are relatively safer than further areas like Bao'an. But as you know for good houses and areas, the rent is also higher.

Hi, I'm going to visit Window Of the World with my 3 kids from HK(TST) how long the journey it will take to Window Of the World including immigration clearance in China from HK? Is there any food stall inside Window Of the World? any muslim or Halal food? Thanks

Dear Mike,

It will take you about two hours from HK to Shenzhen Window of the World including immigration clearance. Besides, there are some restaurants in the Window of the World, but perhaps there aren't any muslin restaurants.

Hope it helps.

Hi Britney,

It is a good question that you asked, you are right, weekends always attract more tourists so the actors and actresses would show the best they could. It seems like a dilemma, but you may try to avoid crowds by visiting the place around lunch time. Have a nice time!
