Dapeng, with a single flap of its wings, rises with the wind, soaring straight up ninety thousand li. Shenzhen, also known as Pengcheng, is separated from Hong Kong by a body of water. This southern pearl of China is renowned for its astonishing development speed and innovative vitality. In just a few decades, Shenzhen has transformed from a small fishing village into an international metropolis and has become one of the global centers for high-tech development. The charm of this city is not only reflected in its booming tech industry but also in its vibrant art scene, colorful nightlife, diverse international cuisine, and convenient and varied shopping options.
Shenzhen's natural scenery is equally captivating. Behind the modern high-rise buildings lies vast green spaces and rolling mountains, providing residents with a wealth of outdoor activities and opportunities to get close to nature. One hundred and sixty rivers run through the city, surrounded by mountains, which are indispensable natural features of Shenzhen.
Shenzhen has a permanent population of 17.79 million, divided into nine administrative districts. To help everyone better choose a suitable place to live in Shenzhen, we will focus on introducing five of these areas, hoping to provide practical information and suggestions for friends who are renting in Shenzhen for the first time.
Shenzhen's Nanshan District, as an important base for technological innovation and higher education in China, is home to many technology companies and the headquarters of multinational corporations. It gathers tech giants like Tencent and Huawei, as well as the prestigious Shenzhen University, demonstrating the robust strength of Nanshan District in the fields of technology and education.

Futian District, the heart of Shenzhen, is renowned for its compact area and bustling commerce. Despite its relatively small size, Futian District showcases the vitality and charm of this young city with its modern skyscrapers and efficient underground transportation system.
The district is home to numerous parks, exceptional dining and shopping areas, and is also one of the most convenient borders connected to Hong Kong. The Shenzhen Museum and Litchi Park (which can be considered one of the most beautiful parks in Shenzhen, featuring a botanical garden and a lake) are both located in Futian District. Due to its central location and being one of the newer neighborhoods, this also implies that the rent in this area tends to be relatively high.
Futian District boasts Shenzhen's best underground transportation system, with multiple subway lines intersecting here, making it very convenient to travel to other parts of Shenzhen or neighboring cities. The subway stations are modern in design, with clear signs, making travel easy and fast.
Because Futian District is located in the city center and is a newer neighborhood in Shenzhen, the rent here is relatively high. However, the high rent also means a better living environment and more convenient amenities. Whether for business trips or leisure travel, Futian District can provide a satisfactory experience.

SOME RENTING TIPS
Having chosen the area and type of accommodation and budget, the next step is to rent. Renting in China is slightly different to renting abroad and can be tricky for anyone unused to the process. Here are some key points to keep in mind:
Remember to register your new address with the Chinese police within 24 hours of moving.
An important part of renting is signing the contract, and it is very important that you are able to understand what you are signing. If you sign the contract on wellcee.com the contract will be in English and any queries can be answered.
Unlike some other Chinese cities, it is common in Shenzhen to pay just two months rent as a security deposit when you move in, along with your first month's rent and a realtor fee (If you choose to use a realtor instead of direct renting or sites such as wellcee).
If you go through a realtor you may not have much choice when it comes to landlord or flatmates, but if you choose another route try to meet the landlord or flatmates to get a feel for who they are. - This will help you to avoid people who may not keep your flat maintained or roommates you will not get along with. (If you signed your contract with wellcee you will always get help should any problems occur but in other situations you may find that you have limited resource).
When visiting the flat be sure to ask about problems common to Chinese households such as air-conditioning, mold or plumbing issues to ensure the place meets your standards.
When ending of the contract be sure to get your deposit back, if you have any problems getting this done you may have to seek legal advice if you didn't sign on wellcee where your deposit is secured by the site.
Now that you are ready to move to Shenzhen be sure to immerse yourself in the exciting culture of this city. It truly is a global hub and you can meet people from all over the world who have been drawn to Shenzhen. Find some groups for people who share your interests, discover your local bars or new favourite restaurants and check out the latest events happening around you on pages such as the Shenzhen Lifestyle section.
