Practical guide

Where to stay in central Shenzhen

Choose between Futian’s civic core and Luohu’s established commercial districts.

Use Futian Centre for civic, cultural, exhibition, business and financial-core plans; use Huaqiangbei for electronics-oriented exploring; use Dongmen or People’s South for Luohu’s established commercial core. These are area choices rather than hotel recommendations.

A clear next step

  1. Choose Futian Centre for Civic Center cultural and business plans.
  2. Choose Huaqiangbei when electronics retail is the priority.
  3. Choose Dongmen or People’s South for Luohu’s established commercial setting.
