Shenzhen in Guangdong Province, China holds a special place among Chinese cities. It was singled out to be the first of the five Special Economic Zones (SEZ) in May 1980. The SEZ was spearheaded by Deng Xiaoping as a sort of economic experiment to see if market capitalism can work in a socialist country like China. The city has enjoyed immense growth over the years and this has attracted foreign investors. Towering skyscrapers is now commonplace in Shenzhen as well as a host of restaurants, malls, and other amenities you’d expect to find in a world-class city. So if you’re visiting this megacity whether for business or pleasure your first concern would be your accommodations. So to help you out we’ve compiled a list of the best Airbnbs in Shenzhen, China.

7. A hip and trendy unit
This single-bedroom fully air-conditioned unit has a very unique design. The bedroom has a queen-sized bed and it is separated from the bathroom via a sliding curtain.

It has just the right amount of furniture for your guest to sit in and still has room to spare in case you want to play a game of charades. In one of the rooms, there is even an indoor swing and some mattresses to lay down and relax.

8. Unit with a faux fireplace
Annie Cuba’s old dream is located in Hong Kong Island Ginza Apartment, Luohu District, Shenzhen. The common area and bedroom share the same space, there is a queen-sized bed, a dining/work table, and a couch that seems like a cut-out of a bathtub. The coolest thing about this part of the unit is the faux fireplace. Even though you won’t be burning any firewood in this fake fireplace, it definitely helps the place feel cozier. The bright kitchen is equipped with a variety of appliances that are practical and beautiful. The bathroom has a soaking tub for relaxation and a pleasant color ambiance.
