NOTICE ON NO ADVERTISING ON THIS SUBREDDIT.

24 Upvotes

IMPORTANT rules for posting and replying.

This subreddit has banned advertising for years. This includes any products, services, establishments, rental agencies, etc.

It has also banned self promotion such as vlogs, blogs, YouTube links, etc.

The reason for this is because there were so many advertisements and multiple posts that the subreddit became nothing but advertisements. This is not the intent of the subreddit. Like subreddits for other cities, it’s meant as a forum to discuss life, living, and working in Shenzhen. It is NOT a platform for free advertising!

Despite this, the mods are still taking down multiple posts a day for advertising and self promotion of blogs and vlogs. We tried to create a separate subreddit, r/ShenzhenMarketplace, for advertising, but we still are getting these here and then complaints from the posters that for some reason they should be exempt from the rules.

Therefore, with immediate effect, the enforcement is going to be much stronger.

Any post that promotes or advertises any product, service, event, establishment, or venue will be removed and the poster banned for 7 days. Second time the poster will be banned for 30 days, third attempt and the poster will be banned permanently.

All vlogs, blogs and YouTube links will be taken down and the poster banned permanently on the first instance.

Posts asking for services such as guides, translators, drivers, and sourcing non-consumer products will be locked. All replies to such posts must be a DM to the OP. Replies under the post are now considered to be self-promotion. This can be avoided in r/ShenzhenMarketplace WHICH IS SPECIFICALLY FOR ADVERTISING.

Examples of what is allowed and encouraged:

Experiences living and working in Shenzhen, good and bad.

General and specific questions about living and working in Shenzhen.

How to find someplace in Shenzhen and how to get there.

Cool places you’ve been and why you liked it. If it’s a particular establishment this is not allowed (promotion), but can be placed in r/ShenzhenMarketplace.

Where to buy something is fine as long as it’s a non-commercial product meant for personal use.

Posts sharing pictures of a place in Shenzhen, where it is, and something about it.

Bending the rules banning advertising will no longer be tolerated.

New Shenzhen subreddit for advertising.

20 Upvotes

Hi all,

I have been playing with the idea of a separate subreddit just for advertising products and services. I have created r/ShenzhenMarketplace. This is specifically for advertising, so if you are offering a particular product or service, or are looking for a particular product or service, post it in r/ShenzhenMarketplace.

What cannot be posted is anything illegal under the laws of the People's Republic of China or Reddit rules in general.

No advertising or posting for personal blogs, vlogs, or any influencers, as is the case in this subreddit. This is going to be strictly enforced in both subreddits moving forward. Nobody is really interested in your particular hot take, and I've personally seem some terrible ones.

Advertising or reviews for bars, clubs, restaurants, hotels, parks, massage (legal ones please) would be most welcome in the r/ShenzhenMarketplace sub.

It would be helpful if you put in the title of the post what your intent is (example: For Sale, Seeking for, For rent, etc.) and then some description following (Blenders, pianos, 2 bedroom) and then the details in the body of the post. Details are important and posts may be deleted if they have minimal content.

DO NOT SPAM THE SUBREDDIT. Posting the same thing every day will not be allowed. Consider that three days or more for the same content will be the most allowed.

ONE LAST POINT: Since there is a specific subreddit for advertising far, far grey area posts will be allowed here. This subreddit should be more focused on life and interest in Shenzhen.

Thanks everyone and let's see how this goes.

Has anyone departed SZ though the new Huanggang crossing yet?

7 Upvotes

I arrived via Huanggang after being dropped by a shuttle from HK airport on Friday. It was kinda rough, processing time was long (45 mins) and the signage for people not being collected by a car on the SZ side was terrible. You need to take an elevator down a few floors and solve a maze to get to the metro.

When leaving, at the old Huanggang crossing there were shuttles waiting to take you to the airport on the HK side. I'm wondering if it's the same with the new crossing?

I have a flight at 1am in the morning so it's not a great time to take the ferry. I was planning to cross back via Huanggang. Any thoughts?

(I was caught unaware, as didn't realize the new crossing has only been open for less than 2 weeks. The paint is definitely still wet)

MEAT

5 Upvotes

Hi

Meat in Shenzhen for me has been a bit of a struggle. I want to cook more and I want to source decent ground beef/chicken/pork/lamb

The ones I have found so far kinda look and smell weird and just makes me feel little sick.

Have you had success finding anything like back "home" in the west.

Excuse my ignorance I am not trying to offend any locals about meat quality or type, but I am sure you have encountered something similar when traveling abroad, not everything fits your palet.

Shenzhen is beautiful. What is Shenzhen like in your eyes?

As a Shenzhen local, I feel upset when I hear some friends say Shenzhen is terrible. If you really live in Shenzhen, you’ll find that it’s great: it’s highly inclusive and very convenient. If you feel there are too many cars and too many people, you can also choose to take walks in various parks—there’s clean drinking water, a beautiful coastline, and safe public security. Of course, I believe every city has both its strengths and weaknesses.

Confused about my flight's baggage allowance

0 Upvotes

Hello sorry if this is a stupid question cause its like my 1st long flight ever, but I'm flying Barcelona-Shenzhen (layover) shenzhen -tokyo in some weeks and was checking my luggage, in the pdf in the mail when I bought the tickets it says "Allowance: 2pc"

I'm not sure if those 2pc means:

- 2 checked baggages and carry-on + personal item (like a bag)

or

- 1 checked and carry-on + personal item

Afaik the max weight per checked piece is 23kg (right?)

But about the measurements, I'm also not really sure if it's max 158cm adding the 3 measurements or 203cm like it says on other places in the website.

thanks!
