Shenzhen is one of the most modern cities in China, having reaped the benefits of the country's economic liberalization. It is the site of the country's first - and quite successful - Special Economic Zone. Once a seaport and fishing village, Shenzhen is now a financial center, the site of various factories, manufacturing plants, and high-rise office buildings, one of which is the Shun Hing Square. Its most popular beaches - Xichong, Xiaomeisha, and Dameisha are favorite spots among foreign and local visitors, particularly backpackers. Shenzhen also has a number of spots that tourists prefer, such as the Nanshan Safari Park, Happy Valley, and the Botanical Garden in Xianhu Lake.

Some of the carriers offering cheap flights to Shenzhen include Air Asia, Asiana, Tiger Airways, SilkAir, Sky Shuttle, and Shenzhen Airlines. Cheap flights are also frequently offered by local carriers such as Air China, China Eastern, Shenzhen Airlines, and Shandong Airlines. Traveling during the off-peak season is one of the best ways to find cheap flights. You can also book your car rental, flight, and hotel together in order to save money. By avoiding the vacationers flying on the weekend and the business travelers on Monday, you can also save money on flights.
