Each heading below
offers links to
off-site resources or entries
in the LIFESiZE
blog. More Shenzhen
information can be found by checking the LIFESiZE
Homepage. If you are a regular visitor to LIFESiZE, your best
bet is just to check the blog
occasionally.
Movies:
If you REALLY want to
spend as much as 80 RMB on a movie (but early shows can be much cheaper),
here's a list of theaters. We recommend the much cheaper DVD route!
Golden
Harvest Cinema New South
Cinema
Golden
Harvest Cinema is located in the Mixc shopping center at Shennan and
Bao'an Roads.
Read the
film posters carefully to determine the Chinese title of the film you
wish to see. If you can't make it out, click the poster then look
at the top item in the list, labeled "影片名称."
Now go
back to the top page.
Click
which is
in this tab
near
the top of the page. Film titles are listed in Chinese, with
times.
This
cinema tells you the films' language in two places.
One is on
the same page you went to see the film's title (see above); the fourth
item, labeled "影片语言,"
is the language.
The other
is next to the film's title on the page that lists the times:
All you
really hope to see is "英文"
meaning English (YingWen). Far more common is 国语"
meaning Chinese (ZhongYu).
The
New
South Cinema complex is located in the Jusco shopping center, just
east of the Ke Xue Guan Metro Station on Shennan Boulevard. After
accessing the page, pull down the little window
near the
center of the page and select a date. Movie titles are listed in
Chinese, but clicking on them brings up a copy of the film's
poster. Language is given in the "Language" column of
the listing. All you really hope to see is "英语"
meaning English (Ying国语"
meaning Chinese (ZhongYu).

Amusement
Parks:
Shenzhen prides
itself on its theme parks. See here for
parks with a cultural theme; but this one is strictly for thrills:
Happy
Valley (sometimes called "Happy Kingdom"). If you ask
me, the minibuses in Shenzhen are thrilling enough!
