1) Shenzhen has the best selection of Chinese restaurants anywhere;
2) People have to get on with each other and there’s been no time to build up family feuds, people have to be nicer (and are)
3) Shenzhen’s got two cool beaches: Xiaomeisha and Daomeisha
4) The nightclubbing is amazing
5) Female-Men ratio of 4-1, great for men and lesbians
6) Its a fucking long way away from Beijing politics
7) 24 border open with Hong Kong
8) Cheap flights to international Asian resorts from SZ airport
9) Great infrastructure
10) Fantastic typhoon surfing

Whoever wrote that Conde Nast article knew jack shit about Shenzhen and shame on “Beijing” Cream for taking upon itself to perpetuate the story. Wanna write about China, stick to Beijing, you muthafuckas you’re outta your depth here. Come down here and we’ll break your legs if we catch you dissing our joint again.

Sz is a pretty okay city, at least around Futian. (For fucking forget Bo’an however.) Great transport. Semi-reasonable air quality. English library. Great Sichuan and Hui restaurants. Interesting people from all parts of China.

The hooker quotient. Big deal… all that tells me is your preoccupation, and if you can’t get our ashes hauled in SZ for nothing, you must be a total dog with personal hygiene issues.
