The nearest airport to Shenzhen is Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport (SZX), which offers numerous domestic and international flights.
For attendees who can visit China with a valid visa or visa-free, Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) can be a good option as it's only 30 kilometers away from Shenzhen.
While English is common at the venue and major hotels, local proficiency is generally limited. We recommend keeping a translation app handy and learning basic Mandarin phrases. If you're up for the challenge, check out this quick guide to master the essentials and navigate Shenzhen with total confidence!
The local currency is the Chinese Yuan (CNY/RMB). While you'll find that hotels and large malls easily handle international credit cards, the real magic of Shenzhen lies in its world-leading digital economy.
To truly live like a local and experience China's seamless, cashless society, we recommend setting up Alipay or WeChat Pay before you arrive. Credit cards (Visa, MasterCard) are not widely accepted except in hotels and shopping malls. ATMs are available for withdrawing Chinese Yuan for smaller transactions, but check with your bank about international fees.
