Shenzhen is one of China's biggest migrant cities—most people weren't born here and return to their hometowns to visit family for Spring Festival.
Is SeaWorld actually a sea theme park?
Not exactly—it's a waterfront district with restaurants, bars, and shops, and even a retired 10,000-ton French cruise ship turned into a dining venue.
What happens if your phone dies in a cashless city?
It's tough—charging pods are everywhere but often all taken. Best to carry a portable power bank.
