Hi, Can you please tell me-after I get off the train at Shenzhen, will there be clear directions on display on how to get to the shopping areas/malls and are they close by, walking distance?

Hi Annette, there is no such directions on display on how to get to the shopping areas/malls. However, they are quite close, you can ask someone to show you the direction. Most young people in Shenzhen can speak some English.

Hi,My family and I will be visiting Shenzhen from the 20th-23rd Nov. Can I ask if I should bring thick jackets for the kids? Also is the Green Tree Alliance Hotel recommended? Which area would you recommend to visit? We''ll be travelling with 3 kids. Thank you!!

Hi Jean, Shenzhen is warm in November. The average maximum temperature is around 25 °C (77°F) and the average minimum temperature is 17 °C (63°F). It rarely rains this month, and the weather is generally mild, but the wind occasionally kicks up. A light sweater or jacket is enough, but you may also need a light coat in case the weather cools suddenly.  A thick jackets for the kids will be much better.

You can check the reviews for the Green Tree Alliance Hote on trip advisor: http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Hotel_Review-g297415-d1974535-Reviews-Green_Tree_Alliance_Shenzhen_Shekou-Shenzhen_Guangdong.html

The Splendid China (inclusive China Folk Culture Village) and the Window of the World is the can't missing in Shenzhen.

Besides, the Happy Valley is popular with kids.
