How to Join FREE Shenzhen Tour
This is hands down the easiest way to explore Shenzhen in 1 day tour—Trip.com runs a free guided tour for Bao’an Airport entry travelers. No pre-registration, no hidden fees, just first-come first-served seats.
✅ Schedule: Departs daily at 09:00 (GMT+8), ends at 15:00 at Shenzhen Talent Park. Important note: No return transport to the airport is provided—plan your way back with extra buffer time.
✅ What’s included: Free shuttle bus from the airport to attractions, bilingual (English/Mandarin) professional guide, and entry tickets to scenic spots (where applicable).
✅ Eligibility: All international transit passengers with valid visa-free approval/transit documents. Kids under 12 must travel with an adult.
✅ Tour Route & Must-See Highlights (tested by me, these spots are worth your time):
- Lianhuashan Park: A calm urban green space with unbeatable Shenzhen skyline photo ops. 10:00–11:00 is the sweet spot—soft sunlight, minimal crowds, perfect for shots.
- Nantou Ancient City: A 1,700-year-old town where traditional Chinese architecture mixes with trendy boutiques and cafes. Don’t miss local snacks: braised pork ribs rice and coconut jelly are absolute must-tries. The free Nantou Ancient City Museum is great for a quick history dive (closed on Mondays).
- Shenzhen Talent Park: The tour finishes here, with panoramic views of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and Shenzhen’s futuristic skyline. Spend 15–20 mins strolling the waterfront before heading back to the airport.
Shenzhen Layover - Visa & Transit Policy (TWOV)
Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport
You can leave the airport during your layover—this policy applies to Shenzhen, and it’s one of the most flexible transit rules in China, letting you explore Shenzhen and the whole of Guangdong Province visa-free for 10 days. I’ve used this policy multiple times, and it’s straightforward as long as you meet the requirements.
- Eligible nationalities: Citizens of 55 countries (EU nations, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Singapore, Thailand, and most Southeast Asian countries included).
- 240-hour window calculation: Starts at 00:00 (GMT+8) the day after your arrival. For example: Arrive on Jan 1 → your 10-day window kicks off on Jan 2 (gives you a full 10+ days to explore).
- Required documents: A valid passport + an onward ticket to a third country/region (a return ticket to your home country does NOT qualify if it’s the same as your arrival destination).
- Entry ports: Shenzhen Bao’an Airport (SZX), Shekou Ferry Terminal, and all major ports in Guangdong Province.
- Entry process: Follow the Visa-Free Transit signs to the dedicated immigration counter (T3 International Arrivals Hall) → hand in your documents → finish inspection (5–10 mins; 15+ mins during peak hours) → collect luggage and go.
What to Do during Shenzhen Layover (7h, 12h, 24h)
The best activities during your Shenzhen layover depend on how much time you have. Below are tailored itineraries that balance exploration and convenience, so that you have enough buffer time for return travel and airport security checks.
- 7-Hour Layover: The full Shenzhen Express tour fits perfectly here. Time breakdown: 08:30 (arrive at Trip.com counter) → 09:00 (tour departure) → 15:00 (tour ends) → 15:30-16:00 (return to airport by taxi, 25-30 minutes).
- 12-hour stay: Combine free tours with more attractions. After the tour ends at 3 p.m., take a taxi to Ping An Finance Center (15 minutes, ¥30-40) and enjoy a 360-degree city view from the 116th floor observation deck (¥180 per person). Take the subway (40 minutes, ¥9) or a taxi (30 minutes, ¥60- ¥80) back to the airport.
- 24-hour stay: In-depth exploration of Shenzhen's culture and cuisine. After the Shenzhen Express tour, head to Dongmen Pedestrian Street to taste street snacks and do some shopping (50 minutes by subway, 8 yuan), then have a meal at a seafood restaurant in Shekou (30 minutes by taxi, 40 to 50 yuan), and take a stroll along the seaside. Stay at a hotel near the airport (such as Shenzhen Airport Hotel, 400 to 600 yuan per night), and return to the airport the next morning.

Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Center Shenzhen|0.78km from city center
I've stayed in many hotels in Shenzhen, and this one's overall experience perfectly meets the practical needs of a business traveler.
The hotel's location is a huge advantage. The surrounding area is well-developed, so whether I'm meeting clients or traveling to and from transport hubs, I don't have to spend a lot of time on the road. For tight business schedules, this saves a lot on commuting time.
After adding Joy on WeChat, many minor issues didn't require a special trip to the front desk. If I needed to confirm information or coordinate simple requests, I could handle it directly online, without having to take time out of a busy schedule to go to the lobby, saving me the hassle of running back and forth.
The room maintenance is quite good; it's always clean and tidy each time I check in. For short business trips, it's just a temporary stop for rest, and a consistent room condition helps avoid many unexpected small problems, allowing me to relax peacefully after a long day.
The entire check-in and check-out process was simple and smooth, with no unnecessary or complicated procedures.FromRUB 7,824

The hotel is located in the bustling Futian central area, with direct subway access, which is incredibly convenient. Although it's a five-star hotel that's over ten years old, and the decor is no longer trendy, it's exceptionally well-maintained. Despite its age, it doesn't feel run-down or old. Both the lobby and rooms exude an old-school luxury, providing great comfort and excellent value for money! A small suggestion: it would be even better if coffee machines were provided. Although I wouldn't use one, it's a standard amenity in five-star hotels these days and not difficult to implement!FromRUB 9,191

The Four Points by Sheraton Shenzhen boasts an excellent location, ideal for frequent travelers between Shenzhen and Hong Kong. Situated in the Futian Free Trade Zone, it's very close to the Futian and Huanggang Port immigration checkpoints, offering convenient access to Futian CBD and the Convention and Exhibition Center. Getting to Futian Station by taxi is also very easy.
The guest rooms are spacious, and the Four Points' signature comfortable beds provide a great night's sleep. The rooms are clean and tidy, with complete bathroom facilities and stable internet. Some room types even offer river views. The soundproofing is good, ensuring a peaceful rest. Check-in at the front desk was efficient, and the service attitude was attentive.
The breakfast buffet offers a rich variety of options, a good mix of Western and Chinese cuisine, including freshly made Cantonese dim sum like Chee Cheong Fun and Koay Teow. The food quality is consistently good, and the dining environment is comfortable. Hotel amenities include an outdoor swimming pool, a 24-hour gym, and ample parking space in the underground car park, including charging spots, which is very convenient for those traveling by car.
As a Marriott five-star hotel, it offers good value for money overall. It's suitable for both business trips and travelers commuting between Shenzhen and Hong Kong. My stay was very satisfying, and I'll definitely choose this hotel again on my next visit to Shenzhen.FromRUB 6,307

Taking advantage of a break before the National Day holiday, I traveled solo to Shenzhen and stayed at the Hilton Shenzhen Futian. Getting around and transferring was convenient, and the surrounding commercial area was well-developed, making my trip very enjoyable. The hotel's location is superb, with many convenience stores and restaurants downstairs, making it easy to go out for a walk and find food in the evening. The room was clean and tidy inside, the bathroom drainage was smooth, toiletries were complete, and there were no strange odors. The soundproofing in the room was decent; with the door closed, I could barely hear corridor noise, and the lighting adjustment was also very handy. Check-out at the front desk was quick, and the luggage storage service was also very smooth. Just a small piece of feedback: the number of lockers in the pool changing room isn't very large, so during peak evening hours, you might have to wait a little. Overall, the hotel's hardware, hygiene, and service all meet five-star standards, making it a very suitable place for a solo traveler.FromRUB 8,577

Loved my entire stay with my husband! It’s my first time in China and we opted to explore Futien in Shenzhen as our first stop just to familiarize myself with the area.
The location of the hotel was perfect, literally walking distance from the high speed train station, which we appreciated.
Our room had an incredible view and the space inside the room was huge! The bathroom had a tub, we had a walk in closet and had a very comfortable bed. The temperature upon entering the rom was also perfect - can’t say that abt other hotels!
We opted to include breakfast buffet as part of our stay - and it did not disappoint. The selection and quality of food exceeded our expectations and all staff were very friendly, the ones we came across were so warm, friendly, and very accommodating!

I stayed at the Four Seasons Hotel Shenzhen for a temporary business trip, and the attention to detail in their service left a lasting impression. Upon arriving at the hotel entrance, Max, the manager who assisted me with my previous check-in, immediately recognized me and provided exceptional service. His incredible memory for guests truly showcases the high-caliber service at luxury hotels.
The guest room had an open layout, offering a nearly perfect stay and rest experience. The sofa lounge area, workspace, and sleeping area were clearly separated, creating a smooth flow that's ideal for business travelers. The bathroom featured a bathtub and a smart toilet, and all facilities were well-maintained, making for a comfortable stay during my business trip.
Breakfast was at the FOO restaurant, which boasts a timeless 'old money' design that has stood the test of time. My favorite part was the seating experience; there were numerous semi-private 'booth' style seats that offered great comfort and allowed for an undisturbed dining experience. The breakfast selection was impressive, featuring everything from Kashi yogurt, a wide variety of bread options, freshly made wontons, to Chinese brewed flower teas.

The Wanghai Wing, on the other hand, is more postmodern in style. The front desk staff thoughtfully gave us an extra breakfast. The kids' toiletries, slippers, and bathrobes were also adorable. Room service was excellent. The Nanhai pool is 2 meters deep, perfect for a comfortable swim, and it wasn't crowded even during the National Day holiday. The public areas also have a sauna, hot tubs, and relaxation areas. The Wanghai side has a shallower outdoor pool suitable for kids and a dedicated children's pool, which tends to be a bit busier. There's also an indoor pool and a jacuzzi. The shuttle service between the two hotels is frequent, but they're actually very close, just a 3-minute walk apart. The suite in the Nanhai Wing offers excellent value for money compared to equivalent room types in the Wanghai Wing. It has two large balconies and a sofa bed that can be opened up, easily accommodating a family of four. The room design is great, with the bathroom, shower, toilet, and walk-in closet each being independent spaces that can be separated by sliding doors. Getting around from the Nanhai Wing is also very convenient; the elevator is very close to the lobby entrance, and you don't need to go up and down hills within the hotel. It's a 10-minute walk to the Sea World commercial area nearby. I'd definitely recommend the Nanhai Wing for a super chill holiday next time.FromRUB 9,655

Window of the World/Shenzhen Happy Valley Shenzhen|7.6km from city center
We stayed at the Intercontinental from August 31st to September 3rd – two adults and children aged 16 and 10. We chose a deluxe room with a garden view (which actually offered views of both the garden and skyscrapers) with two double beds. From the pictures, the beds looked large, but in reality, they were more like 1.5-person beds. The room itself was decent, but upon arrival, we had concerns about the cleanliness. We asked the staff for a cleaner room. They asked us to wait, and given our initial disappointment with the room, the hotel decided to compensate us with an upgraded room. That's when the magic began, as we found ourselves in an apartment! It featured a beautiful living room, a large master bedroom, and another room with two separate beds. There were two bathrooms and three toilets. It was a very spacious and beautiful room; we can't even imagine how much it costs. This upgrade was arranged by a hotel staff member named Dafne. She was so concerned that we were upset and wanted to make our stay more enjoyable. She certainly succeeded, as the room was simply magnificent. Additionally, we were constantly asked if everything was alright and if we were satisfied. The hotel breakfasts were excellent, with everything you could need. Fresh vegetables, fruits, yogurts, omelets, meats – you definitely wouldn't leave hungry. They also served delicious coffee and many fresh juices. The hotel has a fantastic pool and water park; even at 40, you can still enjoy the slides! It was our daughter's birthday, and Dafne helped us order a cake and arrange a lovely presentation during breakfast. Of course, the hotel isn't new, but it has a great atmosphere, is cozy, and the staff tries their absolute best. We really appreciated the attention. A big thank you to Dafne for her care and concern!FromRUB 11,348

Huge thanks to all the staff at Kaisa Group Marriott for their genuine, meticulous, and thoughtful arrangements! Aria Pan was incredibly helpful during check-in.😇
During our two-day summer family trip, both my 3-year-old and 13-year-old kids enjoyed a packed schedule of activities and kept exclaiming that they wanted to come back! At check-in, the front desk provided a summer activity guide, and we basically checked off every activity and were very satisfied. The hotel is huge with lots of activities, and different areas have play zones with corresponding rest areas, making the kids happy and the adults comfortable. The staff were very enthusiastic in providing directions, which I greatly appreciate.
They take 'water safety first' very seriously. There are staff members present at both the indoor and outdoor pools, as well as the beach, to provide guidance. For instance, staff at the beach would prevent people from getting too close to the water outside of operating hours.
The children's amenities and birthday decorations I requested in advance were all pleasantly arranged, adding a wonderful memory to our trip.
Thanks again to Kaisa Group Marriott Hotel. Wishing all the staff joy, good health, and a pleasant work life!FromRUB 8,803

Guanlan Shenzhen|21.7km from city center
Our three-day, two-night stay at Mission Hills Resort Shenzhen was fantastic! The environment was peaceful, and our room was spacious and comfortable. The breakfast spread was excellent. The go-karting and ice-snow world at the Eco Sports Park were great fun, and the handicraft workshop was perfect for parent-child DIY. The hotel offers a free shuttle bus to and from Guanlan Ancient Town, where the night light show was stunning. The nearby MH MALL has a wide variety of dining options, and direct subway access makes it super convenient. It’s a hassle-free and fun all-in-one resort experience, highly recommended for families and couples looking to relax!FromRUB 9,455

Nan'ao Shenzhen|43.28km from city center
The room's window faces the beach, and the view is indeed beautiful. There are also some bars on the beach downstairs, so you can sit on the sand at night, watch the stars, and enjoy the sea breeze, which was a great experience for me. As for the service, the staff were very friendly, and they even brought desserts in the evening. The hygiene was also quite good.FromRUB 3,912

Huanggang Port and Futian Port Shenzhen|3.51km from city center
We stayed in the Deluxe sea view king room with a balcony. As soon as we arrived we were greeted by a friendly smile from Zoe and Jessica who were always really thoughtful, attentive and ready to help. The front house staff are an asset to the hotel. The apartment features an open-plan design that feels larger than a standard hotel room, complete with home-like comforts including a washer/dryer machine which allowed us to refresh our clothes. A clothes hanger along with detergent is provided by the hotel again providing ease. The views from the balcony were stunning. Large windows across the rooms and the hotel offer fantastic, sweeping views of the surrounding area and waterfront. The sleeping and living spaces are kept spotless and hygienic by the housekeeping team. Situated close to 2 metro stations and local shopping options and residential conveniences, making daily errands simple. This was our first time in Shenzhen and will most definitely won’t be our last a special thank you to all at Hampton :)FromRUB 6,395

Science and Technology Park Shenzhen|13.43km from city center
Great room type and location. However, the doors to both bathrooms in this room type couldn't close completely, leaving gaps. The shower also leaked water onto the floor under the sink, increasing the risk of slipping. The hotel's self-service laundry machines were convenient, and laundry detergent was provided. But the minimum drying time was 2 hours, which was too inefficient. All other services were great, and it's very close to the subway! 👍👍FromRUB 6,169

Yantian District Government/Shatoujiao Shenzhen|18.91km from city center
This is an older hotel in Yantian District. The hotel's laundry room and gym facilities are well-equipped. The front desk staff, Xiao Ting, provided very thoughtful service and proactively upgraded me to an executive floor room. The king-size bed was very comfortable, and the natural light and view were excellent, creating a great ambiance. The only minor drawback was a slight obstruction in the view, but it didn't detract from the overall positive impression. I'll definitely consider bringing my family here next time~FromRUB 5,693
