Shopping isn't that great in Shenzen unless your into China fashion labels, they also have the typical western designers as SZ is a place where a lot of foriegn investors travel to for business. The highlight of SZ is the great foot massages for $ 3 US and head shampoo massages for $4 US. I have had foot massages before and US Spas and paid $65 and up and they weren't half as good as the ones I've had in China for far less. You can also get manicures and pedicures for $4 US.

Hi thanx,<BR>what about books and VCD/DVD?<BR>More input please...

VCDs in SZ and hong kong sell for $2 DVDs sell for $5. Hope this helps. Do yourself a favor and get a foot massage.

Topped a DVD post for you. Hope it helps.
