Thanks for sharing!

I've been to this one, it's really good.

I'd love to visit again so much.

Oh, I was quite impressed with Shenzhen initially but my good impressions gradually vanished under the influence of those “nowhere-to-be-seen-one-moment-and-right-next-to-you-the-next” electric scooters and those roadside stalls occupying pedestrian walkways.

• Here's a big gripe about electric scooters – also to remind my playmates!

  • Attention, friends! If you're unfamiliar with traffic conditions in China, especially Shenzhen, be very careful when walking!
  • Many electric scooters just dash onto sidewalks and they are virtually noiseless; one moment it was nowhere, next moment it zipped past you. This could really startle or hit someone.
  • When walking, keep your eyes away from your phone! Pay extra attention to people around, especially in relatively narrow or crowded places.

• There are also those roadside stalls:

  • I know that roadside stalls add to the atmosphere of a city; some of them indeed sell edible snacks and convenient small items.
  • However! Lots of booths encroach on pedestrian walkways directly. With paths not being too wide in the first place, this encroachment takes up more than half of the space and walking straight becomes impossible. The experience is worse than terrible!
  • In addition, sometimes these stalls might leave trash and oily stains behind; it's far from ideal!

I hope Shenzhen can improve its management in these aspects otherwise its urban image and traveler’s mood certainly will be badly influenced!

That's such an old-fashioned mindset.

Shenzhen still has immense vitality and potential! It's a hub for numerous cutting-edge tech and financial companies, offering ample room for young people to advance.

Honestly, I've never experienced weather this awful before.

It's pretty similar to how it is now.

So, what is there to do for fun in other cities then?

The least inclusive city in the entire universe.

I feel like other places are better than Shanghai – they have mountains, scenic waters, and great food. It's a shame I was born here; my whole life is in Shanghai, so there's not much I can do about it.

1. That's clearly a sweeping generalization. I respect and understand your feelings, but to draw such conclusions based on just a few days' experience shows a fundamental lack of respect and understanding of Guangzhou.
2. You weren't really here to travel; you were just here to take photos for your social media to show off. Guangzhou is modest and low-key, without too many 'prestige projects' for you to photograph. It's normal that you prefer Shenzhen, which is shiny and glamorous, since you only look at the surface and don't understand depth and substance.
3. Since you're from Jiangsu, why don't you recommend those restaurants, including dessert shops, that you claim taste no different from Guangzhou's Cantonese cuisine? Let everyone go and compare. It's normal you can't appreciate the uniqueness of 'Food in Guangzhou'; after all, you're just here for photos and don't know how to savor the flavors.
4. If your taxis always took 10-15 minutes or more to arrive, and it wasn't during peak hours, then it's probably just your bad luck.
5. Discussing urban management with you would be like casting pearls before swine. Let's just drop it.

I've lived here since Ningxia Road was just a grassy field, and I watched Global Harbor being built day by day.

Shanghai is stratified; those without money simply don't experience the same world or see the same sights as the wealthy do.

When I traveled to mainland China (Shanghai, Sichuan, Shandong), my friends there were incredibly welcoming! One girl even told me, 'I love Taiwanese people the most!' I was so flattered~~~ Planning to visit Beijing next year, really looking forward to it!

Is this the Hsinta Power Plant?

Regarding point seven, it seems this mainly applies to Taipei, probably because of the faster pace of life there.

Whether a place is 'fun' really depends on how you explore it. I personally love just wandering the streets, trying delicious food I come across, and visiting areas where locals live. If the street scenes are beautiful and there's good food, I consider it fun, rather than judging a place solely by its famous tourist attractions.

Since moving to Shenzhen, I've become a lot more irritable. I just can't stand the terrible lack of order in the city.

Why does everyone say 'Lao Guke' claypot rice is delicious? It's actually terrible, okay? Barely any better than the pre-packaged meal kit kind.
