General presentation
Shenzhen
Shenzhen is a contemporary urban laboratory in China, combining recent architecture, residual historic villages and long coastline.
Shenzhen Museum, Shenzhen Civic Centre and Dapeng Fortress give the most telling landmarks of Shenzhen. Together, they form a destination where the big city, urban life and the coast meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than a single uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 6 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: variable influx depending on the season. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. The main sites are generally easy to access.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Museum
Musée de Shenzhen
The collections tell of the rapid transition from a rural area to a technological metropolis. Collections and remains take time to go beyond a mere photographic stop; a visit to the site helps to understand their regional historical context.
Culture and heritage
Centre civique de Shenzhen
A large roof and monumental squares structure the new administrative center of Futian. An early-day visit allows you to better observe local usages and the details of the place, while avoiding some of the groups and traffic.
Culture and heritage
Forteresse de Dapeng
A Ming enclosure protects alleys, houses and temples near the eastern coast. Collections and remains take time to go beyond a simple photographic stop; a visit to the site helps to understand their regional historical context.
