Seasons and timing
Shenzhen is warm for much of the year, with a hot and humid summer, a rainy season from late spring to early autumn and a mild, drier winter.

Practical tips
Ask the hotel to write your next destination in Chinese for taxi drivers, keep the hotel business card in your wallet, and set up a mobile payment app or carry some cash for small purchases. Confirm the check-in time and luggage storage if you arrive early, and ask the front desk about airport transfers, local tours and restaurant reservations. Before you leave for the day, check the weather forecast, because sudden showers are common.
