If you joined a Shenzhen tour, you will be taken "hostage" to a tea shop. As it is part of the reason why your tour price is cheaper, you may as well enjoy your time there.
Someone will demonstrate how to prepare the different kinds of tea and describe the different types of tea and their benefits. So you can sample the different taste. Be careful, it may be hot.
If you feel obliged to buy the tea and beautiful tea packing, there is no need to buy the most expensive type or buy too much if you are not a regular drinker. The best tea can be spoilt if not properly stored over time.

 "shi jie zhi chuang" (Window
of the World) by SLLiew
But is it good to recognize and rewarding to learn a few important Chinese characters like "shen zhen" (Shenzhen), "guang dong" (Guangdong), "zhong guo" (China), "xiang gang" (China), "zhu" (exit), "ru" (enter), "nan" (male), "nu" (female).
If you are going to a destination on your own, it is good idea to get it written on a paper in Chinese characters - not in "han yu pin yin", i.e. "Bao An".

Elaborate designs of animals and landscapes with red paper are often framed.
Some are considered works of art.
At the Folks Cultural Village, you can get a quick cameo profile of yourself of a paper cut for a small price.

I know when laundry is washed by hand it is the best to dry the laundry on balcony. It will dry by the wind in the fastest way. And throughout Southeast Asia people still do their laundry in this way, no matter regarding washing machines.
Just the enclosing by iron grillwork I do not understand. It looks so under lock and key, so enclosed ... like a tiny jungle.
So many appartments with its own balcony showing the iron grillwork, decorated by several plants with colourful flowers growing in pots. And the ornament of clean linen and coloured washing ... Leave a Comment

There are many types of Chinese tea; depending on how the leaves are being processed. The key to the whole process is the roasting and fermentation. Through fermentation, the originally deep green leaves become reddish-brown in color. The longer the fermentation, the darker the color.
TYPES OF CHINESE TEA:
Green tea is tea that has not been fermented. Examples are 'Dragon Well' (Long Jing) & 'Green Snail Spring' (Bi Luo Cun).
Red tea (Hung Cha) is tea that has undergone full fermentation. Similar to black tea in the west.
'Black Dragon' tea (Wu Long) is partially-fermented tea unique to China.
Wu Long comes in 3 degrees of fermentation: lightly fermented, moderately fermented, and fully fermented.
Features of lightly fermented tea (Eg. Bao Zhung, are a full aroma, clarity, and a golden color.
For moderately fermented types such as 'lron Buddha' (Tie Guan Ying), 'Narcissus' (Shui Xian), and 'Frozen Peak' (Dong Ding) - a brown color, a full 'mature' flavor that appeals more to the sense of taste than that of smell, and a vaguely sweet aftertaste.
Tea infused from moderately to heavily fermented tea leaves like 'White Hair' tea (Bai Hao Wu Long) has a red-orange color and a fruity aroma. Leave a Comment

It is extremely rude in their culture to make a show of yourself. If you have a problem with a meal or hotel, just calmly take your issue to the waiter or manager. I promise you they will do all they can to make it right. They take any dissatisfaction presonal.
And no matter how loud you get if they don't speak english, they don't speak english.
