I'm travelling to HK this December with a friend and thinking of going 2 Shenzhen for 2 days. What is the best way 2 get there from HK & what is the best way to get around there? Where should i go for sight seeing & shopping? Also like 2 check out the nite life i.e bars and niteclubs. Is it safe going out @ nite. Any tourist traps i should b looking out for? I have heard of horror stories in bars or clubs in asia countries where unsuspecting patrons unknowingly were charged excessively for drinks and so called club girls accompaying them for drinks. Should i be looking out for this and how to avoid this when visiting bars and clubs in Shenzhen? Lastly, where is a good hotel to stay?

The best way to go to Shenzen is to take the train KCR. You can take it at Mongkok or Tsim Sha Tsui, depending where you are staying in HK. Go to the last stop at Lo Wu and go through custom and volia, you are in Shenzen. The best hotel to stay is in Lo Wu, very cheap and clean.
HK is very safe at night, treat it the same as in Canada or US and use common sense. You don't want to go through a dark street corner.
Go to Victoria Peak for some sightseeing, at the Lantau Island, there is a big budda you should check out. Ocean Park, Disney Land, are great options. The shopping mall Time Square in Causeway Bay is the best in the world according to a survey. It is even better than the one in New York.
As for tourist trap especially in Shenzhen, NEVER buy anything at the LO Wu train station, they overprice to cheat on tourist. Also, always bargain, you can get some very cheap deals.
When you are at a street market, mind your wallet and don't put it in your backpocket. Lots of professional thieves can pick pocket you and you won't even know it!!
As for food, well, everywhere there is a restaurent, it is great! Try some local dimsum and spicy food. Japanese sushi is great , and Thai, oh man, the best!!!

The best way to go to shenzhen is by train. In HongKong ride an MTR train and exchange at KCR train at Kowloon. Then ride the KCR train to the last station which is Lowu. Thus you reach Shenzhen. Usually taxi will be fine if you don't know the area. But they have mass railway transit also to get around which is cheap to get around. Look out for pick pocket or person offering rides. They are usually charge you out of your wallet.

Yeah, I can give U a few tips. I'm in a place called Xaoshan, and it's a beautiful place. U should come here.
No I don't now a good route.
And no, those "horror stories" aren't true. Go check out only a few bars.
Try to find those big and tall hotels. They are probably those five star hotels. I live next to one. It is square-reactangle building that is lit up to a triangle point at the top.

The the train. You should definitely go to Mongkok, Tsim Sha Tsui, Yau Ma Tei, Jordan to shop. I don't really know much of clubs since I've never been to a club in HK. I've stayed in Miramar Hotel twice and it was great!

MTR/prepare is IMHO the finest thank you to flow to Shenzhen, yet you ask for a bus.... there are a number of buses from extremely some places in Hong Kong to distinctive place in and around Shenzhen. exceptionally much all buses flow by making use of way of Huanggang border and additionally you will could get off the bus with all your bags two times (HK and CN administration factors). fee could be around HK$a hundred based from the place you leave, HK Island or Kowloon.

Take the KCR (train) from Hung Hom. Goes direct to Lo Wo, the border town.
