Shenzhen Shekou Bite-Sized Adventure: 2-Hour Global Food Crawl
2 hours
English
Description
Shekou, Shenzhen, the birthplace of China's reform and opening-up, is not only the starting point of the nation's economic takeoff but also a hub for Shenzhen's time-honored food brands.
• Scoop a spoonful and let the sunshine drizzle into a crystal-clear bowl! This century-old shop's "desserts" feature authentic Cantonese sweets, with flavors as rich as liquid gold. Tip: Their turtle jelly is a favorite among the elderly. • Shenzhen Juice Lab champions "wellness"! Sip this vibrant green drink and feel the bursting pearls dance on your tongue. Perfect for recharging before enjoying the stunning cruise ship views. • Ready to dive into Shekou's soulful hot pot? This 20-year-old shop has mastered braised beef tripe! Secretly simmered beef offal paired with spicy curry fish balls—create your own street food legend!
Let's embark on a two-hour "Shekou stroll" for an international food carnival. The local snacks on this itinerary are from small street vendors in residential areas, not chain stores in large shopping malls. If you are sensitive to street food or dislike the bustling market atmosphere, please consider carefully before signing up. I wouldn’t want your experience to be compromised due to a mismatch in preferences. Food tasting costs are self-covered.

She was absolutely lovely and she didn’t do anything wrong. It was just really me and I wouldn’t put this feedback public because I’ll take responsibility for not reading what I was attending. I thought it was a general history details about Shenzhen i’m vegetarian so a food walking tour in China is not something I would knowingly attend. I take full responsibility. It was my fault.

Yin Liu & her niece took us on the tour. She is an experienced guide who shared her extensive knowledge of china & shenzhen’s history with us, including food history and also history of the Hakka people. She brought us to several local food stalls which were not touristy. I think this tour is good for people who are new to Chinese food or have only tried typical Chinese foods before and wish to be more adventurous.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I wish I could give her 1,000 stars!
My daughter and I had the BEST experience on this tour. Our guide was beautiful, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable. She was punctual, gave us rich history, chose amazing foods (the dumplings were delicious!), and even offered to pay when our WeChat wasn’t working.
She went above and beyond — she walked us to our taxi afterward, checked our DiDi app, and made sure we were headed to the right place and got home safely. It felt like exploring Shenzhen with a friend, not a stranger.
So refreshing to have an English-speaking guide who helped us understand the city and even gave us tips on places to visit later. We exchanged information, and I truly feel like I’ve gained a friend I’ll come back to see again.
My forever guide 😊 Highly recommend!

The guide told me about the features of Shekou district, the construction of houses, and the life of local people. I also tried different types of dishes, such as meatballs, zongzi, and a delicious dessert with fruit and coconut milk. After that, we took the subway to a nearby station, and the guide also shared information about the history of Shenzhen and this area. Thank you for your time.
