Shenzhen 7
Shenzhen has to become close to Hong Kong if annexed 35 years later; HK people think of what about China when they see Shenzhen. Smoking everywhere; traffic pedestrian walk for a time got better after being hit by car on pedestrian walkway and contested vehemently. Now, Traffic police in car or bicycle should know where their salaries come from; budget cut started in police in USA. How many HK come here except for massge. Food is cheap if you do not eat meat. Restaurants full of smokers as air condition contains all the smokes. Bus is okay. I hope that Shenzhen starts as MODEL CITY for all of Chinese cities.

Nanjing 10
I have been in Nanjing for 18 years. In terms of tourists spots, it may be overshadowed by nearby cities, like Suzhou, where the ancient gardens there are world-renowned. However, Nanjing is outstanding in the way it blends history and modernity. There you can see the battlefield dating back to 2000 years before, city walls 500 years before, presidential house 100 before and high-rise modern architecture, of course. It combines the ideas of traditional Chinese principles with democracy and modern entrepreuneu spirits. By the way, the public transportation there is way better than Suzhou.
