Actually both Zhuhai & Shenzhen has shopping. Preferable u can spend 1 day at each place. Zhuhai has more shopping near the Macau-Zhuhai border. For Shenzhen there are also a lot of shopping around their metro station 'Lao Jie'

Erm i think you should try zhuhai, den can shunbian go macau shop. Macau is good! I went to shenzhen stay over nite before. Don't really like shenzhen coz its like a fake city. Very unreal. Not like HK, bustling with ppl.

I just came back from Shenzhen... Please remember that after July 1st, all Singaporean required to have Visa before enter China.

For Shenzhen, there is a lot of place to go... for shopping apparels, jewelries and accessories, go to 罗湖区,东门步行街, you can go there from HK by train and change to MRT (RMB2) after pass Shenzhen custom.

For Hotel in Shenzhen, I suggest you should go to The Guest House (one of the safest hotels around which is operated by Government).

By the way, don't forget to go to the 内衣城 at 东门, don't forget to buy the China most best selling bra (阿朵代言夏娃之秀魔力挺) with patented technology.

For ticket to HongKong, it is around $300+ with JetStar Asia.
Taxis starting fee is RMB12.50... 20km is around RMB60.
Hotel is RMB300 per night, checkout time is 12pm.

Don't fly directly to Shenzhen airport, that place very Ulu one, some more budget airline only arrive morning 1am....

After arrive HongKong, buy a 八達通 (something like ezlink) with value HKD100 at the airport counter and take bus to Train station and from Train station to 罗湖, go thru custom, buy a one time ticket RM2 and take MRT to 东门.

By the way, 罗湖 custom close around at 11.30pm to 12am.

东门 is a place in 深圳罗湖区...

罗湖 is a big place divided into two, one side at HK, one side at Shenzhen and there is a custom in between.
