Product Review

This is the fourth edition of this quirky and quintessential shopping guide to Shenzhen, the city in China just across the border from Hong Kong. This easy-to-use pocket guide takes readers on a shopping expedition covering everything from how to get the special visa, how to get there, where to find the most amazing deals and how to negotiate with the toughest of all, the shopkeepers of Shenzhen. Half the book covers a few hundred tips on shopping in the famous Lowu Commercial City Shopping Mall, a warren with hundreds of little shops tumbling over each other selling everything from amazing handbags to semi-precious stones, art and designer overruns. In this latest edition, she takes the reader shopping into the heart of the city with a new section called, Shopping Along The Metro Line , the Metro being the city s safe new urban transit system. She introduces readers to the city's favorite old haunts and new sophisticated shopping venues with maps and loads of directions in Chinese to help you shop just like the locals.

Filled with useful information about Shenzhen and its wares. Practical advice on how to shop and bargain from fashion to antiques.

Would have liked more detailed maps though.
