Looking the whoa! in Shenzhen

Hi/
A humble hamlet boy, me, is going to spend a full day looking for the biggest whoa! in Shenzhen. We all now that the Summer Palace is in other city, but we also now than Shenzen didn't exists when I was born and now is bigger than any european city. I'm full ears about sugestions, with the proper metro stations. Where is the best urban landcape when the night starts and the ligths are turned on? Where is the best place for saying "this is really big"? Thanks in advance.

A difficult question to answer, because you don't say want you want to do. 'whoa' is a bit vague I'm afraid. It's a place to live rather than a place to visit.

There are attractions there, and if you are more specific I may be able to answer.

Sit on any street corner long enough and you will 'whoa' at something!

Now, in home. Although this post has been very quiet, usually I try to end the posts I've started. Shenzhen isn't clasified as a tourist hotspot, I´m not sure about having seen any tourist there. But, even with this there're good reasons for going there. It's a strange city. It´s difficult to see retired people, the place is too young. Almost the same refered to the children, the inmigrant parents can't acess to the educational system. I don´t know if it's the future but it deserves a look. By the way, full of whoas!. The second biggest one was the boat trip from Shekou to Hong Kong. The biggest one took place in the Mai Po marshes. I had get a pass as a solo naturalist with allowed me to the mudflat nesxt ro Deep Bay. Low tide, several square kilometres of mud, so many crabs than it looks than the mud was in motion, snakes, lugged fishes... a sea of food. At the north Shenzhen, and at the back over my shoulder Hong Kong with the one hundred levels building. It's enough for me
