Notes on traveling in Shenzhen: When traveling to Shenzhen, you must pay close attention to safety, including personal safety and property safety, otherwise you will definitely get a sad lesson that you will never forget. 1. The social security in Shenzhen is extremely poor. The patrol police and security guards on the streets are basically decorations. Don’t count on them. But if you really encounter misfortune, you still have to call 110 to call the police. Although there may be no follow-up in most cases, it is better than being left alone. 2. When coming to Shenzhen, be sure to pay attention to safety on trains and cars. Don’t bring too much cash. Just bring one or two debit cards. 3. Whether you come to Shenzhen by plane, train, or car, you must bring your border security permit. Do not believe any scammers who take people through the border. These people not only defraud you of a little money, but also steal your money and bags. . 4. Don’t believe any stranger’s word. Don't believe some scammers' rhetoric, such as saying that your wallet was stolen or you were deceived, or that someone picked up the wallet later and invited you to share it equally. 5. Don’t make phone calls in stores, otherwise there is a 90% chance of being ripped off. Use an IC phone card or bank account number to make calls. 6. Don’t ask street vendors or strangers for directions, they won’t answer you seriously. Please go to Xinhua Bookstore to buy an authentic map of Shenzhen. 7. Do not believe any advertisements distributed on the street, such as those for one-day tours to Zhuhai and one-day tours to Zhongying Street. These are illegal tours organized by underground travel agencies, and their real purpose is to defraud. 8. Don’t stay on streets and overpasses, don’t stay in places with too many people, and don’t stay in places with few people. There are thieves on most overpasses in Shenzhen. These thieves can be easily identified by their appearance. They are usually children around 10 years old. 9. Shenzhen is very unsafe at night. Robbery and murderers tend to show up at night. Female tourists are not allowed to go out at night. Male tourists are asked to travel in groups, not to bring too much money, and try not to bring mobile phones or bags. Keep your bag in a place under your control while eating. 10. Never lend your mobile phone to strangers, never exchange foreign exchange with vendors, and never give alms to beggars. If you have love, you can donate to the Hope Project. 11. Female tourists should not carry backpacks. It is best to hold the bags in your arms and be accompanied by a man. Don't talk on the phone alone. 12. There are many prostitutes in prosperous areas, such as Shennan Middle Road and Renmin Road. If you encounter someone soliciting clients, ignore them. 13. If you find a thief on a bus or on the street, you must fight back resolutely. Don't just sit back and watch. We are all human beings. Whoever is afraid of whom is a big deal. If you don't care about yourself, then the thief's next target will be you. 14. Please buy daily necessities and fruits in supermarkets. Try not to buy expensive goods in Shenzhen, let alone any electrical appliances in the commercial streets of Zhongying Street and Huaqiang North Road. These are small private stores, and the prices are not necessarily cheap, and even if they are cheap, they may not be genuine. 15. Don’t believe any exaggerated propaganda about Shenzhen in the newspapers, saying that there are no fakes in every store in the city. There are an astonishing number of fakes in private stores, and every product is fake. Don’t think that you have a unique vision. The above fifteen precautions may also apply in other places, but Shenzhen is the most typical. Although some things may be too absolute, they are definitely good for you. This is a summary of my experiences and lessons learned in Shenzhen for more than two years. There is no product in Shenzhen that is not available elsewhere, so don’t buy it in Shenzhen. Remember what I say, you will never be fooled. If you try to take advantage, you will definitely suffer big losses.
