Q&A

What made you decide to try the CityPlus tour?
B: A friend of mine was visiting Shenzhen for the first time and he only had one and a half days to enjoy this vivid city! I started panicking and could not decide on what to show him. Even though Shenzhen's public transport is almost flawless, it still takes ages to get from one side of the city to the other. Luckily, a few days before my friend arrived, I came across an article by CityPlus, which made my friend's visit unforge廿able and let us spend a wonderful time together, doing what I call the " Stamp Hunt! "
