Shenzhen is easily reached by air via Shenzhen Bao’an International Airport, which has connections across China and Asia. Many digital nomads fly into Hong Kong International Airport and cross the border using the convenient MTR train or shuttle buses. High-speed trains also link Shenzhen to major Chinese cities like Guangzhou and Beijing.
For an average budget, trains and long-distance buses are affordable and efficient options from within Guangdong province and nearby cities. Ferries connect Shenzhen with Hong Kong, Macau, and Zhuhai. In mid-November, weather is pleasant and mild, so travel remains smooth with no major seasonal disruptions. Remember your visa requirements and plan border crossings accordingly.
Shenzhen has a humid subtropical climate, with hot, wet summers and mild, drier winters. From March to October, expect heavy rain, occasional typhoons, and high humidity. November to February is cooler and more comfortable, making it ideal for outdoor adventures, sightseeing, and tours.
From November 14 to November 20, Shenzhen typically enjoys mild and pleasant weather, with daily highs around 20–25°C (68–77°F) and lower humidity. Rain is uncommon, and extreme weather events are rare during this period, offering great conditions for city explorations, street food, arts festivals, and the vibrant nightlife.
Shenzhen’s cuisine draws from Cantonese traditions, featuring dim sum, seafood, and local street snacks like cheung fun (rice noodle rolls) and baozi (steamed buns). You’ll find a vibrant food scene at Dongmen Food Street, while Xiasha and Coco Park offer popular international eats, cool cafes, and cozy noodle shops ideal for working or meeting friends.
Trendy spots such as Baia for Italian or Braceria Pala for pizza are favorites among expats, while Heytea and Nayuki serve inventive tea drinks. Tipping isn’t customary in Shenzhen’s restaurants—your bill usually includes service. Many eateries offer vegetarian options, though explaining dietary needs clearly is a good idea; English menus are common in major districts.
