Shēnzhèn

Museum sights in Shēnzhèn

  1. Shēnzhèn Museum

    A good introduction to this incredible city is this hulking new complex. Through spectacular life-sized dioramas and massive interactive multimedia presentations, it showcases the city's short yet dynamic history of social transformation before and after Deng Xiaoping's policies of reform. Take metro line 4 to Shìmín Zhōngxīn station (Civic Centre Station), exit B.

    The old Shenzhen Museum in Litchi Park (Lìzhī Gōngyuán) has been converted into a museum of ancient arts that has less interesting displays of some 20,000 jade, porcelain and bronze artefacts.

  3. OCT Contemporary Art Terminal

    Out in 'Overseas Chinese Town' (OCT; Huáqiáochéng) this is an excellent museum with exhibits of international and local contemporary Chinese artists. The pub scene thrives here as well. To get there, take metro line 1 to Qiáochéng Dōng station, exit A. Turn right and walk 300m to the petrol station, then turn right again on Enping Jie.
