In 1980 Shenzhen was a small area of fishing villages on the border with Hong Kong. That year it became China's first Special Economic Zone, and it grew into a city of more than 17 million people, known today for technology and electronics. Pieces of the older China are still there, in Hakka villages and busy street markets.

This short tour gives you one full day in each city. Day 2 is Shenzhen: Gankeng Hakka Village, a restored village of the Hakka people with old grey-brick houses, then a robot speciality store and Dongmen Market, the city's oldest shopping area. On Day 3 you cross to Hong Kong and go up to Ngong Ping on Lantau Island, home of the Ngong Ping 360 cable car, before shopping at Citygate Outlets.

With only two touring days, the days are full, and several stops are shops, including a jade and herb shop. Day 1 is mostly travel. It suits travellers with limited leave who want a taste of both sides of the border.
