Dim Sum at Laurel Restaurant in Luohu Shenzhen

Shenzhen is the city located right across the border from Hong Kong. You might say it is the Tijuana of China. A little over 30 years ago, this sleepy town, with around 30,000 people, is growing to over a serious 8 million today. At one of the 6 major border crossings, in the Luohu district, a mind-boggling 100 million people cross between China and Hong Kong every year. Right by this transportation hub, of buses, subways, and trains, a large 5 story mall of knock-offs, fake electronics, and other knick knacks for all type of tourists alike.
