Only 30 minutes away from the Hong Kong border, this is a most astounding living space from which to see and experience China. Not just the traditional side of its culture but the much heralded modernization of China as well.
THE HOME:
Located on the eastern edge of Shenzhen (the most vibrant city in southern China) it is an award winning home, custom designed by the owner from the top luxury living building. Through its hand built architecture and imported furnishings it radiates European romantic charm. From its spacious bliss and 360 degree view you can experience both the bright city lights to the west and the zen tranquility of the famous Fairy Lake Botanical Garden [ http://www.szbg.org ] to the east.
Very rare in China, it has a full kitchen containing many western conveniences and appliances and through the warm hospitality and culinary expertise of our house-keeper Lucy, you can enjoy many famous Chinese dishes.
While impossible to fully describe in words (the expression that a picture is worth a thousand words really applies here), we feel that from the moment you enter the lobby, you will be struck by the intricacy of detail and wonderful colors.
Tong Tong, as a self-taught professional designer and interior decorator and myself (professional artist and designer) have endeavored through a labor of love to create a home of tranquil beauty; employing many elements of European design esthetics in an environment of Chinese Feng Shui harmonies.
It is an environment of lovely design touches which include exquisite handmade tiled floors and carved wood ornamentation throughout to multiple decorative ceiling murals painted by myself in a 'fantasia' motif. It boasts exceptional imported furnishings which are predominantly French antique and enough ornamental pottery and figurines to fill a small museum.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD:
When you venture out of this little oasis to the beckoning oriental adventures awaiting in the streets below you will not only find that you are within a block of the many and continuous backstreet markets and all night barbecues but international banking ATM's, a KFC and a McDonald's McCafe; or how about an hour of heavenly massage for just 5 euro located just down the street!
THE ENVIRONMENT:
The climate is extraordinary and there is no need for a coat (and probably a shirt) most of the year any time of the day or night. Shenzhen is a sub-tropical climate, where the air is clean, the sky is blue, and the mountains and dense, lush tropical vegetation is green year round.
It is a city with a wonderous mix of natural harmonious beauty and vibrant state-of-the-art urbanism.
At around just 30 years old, Shenzhen is best described by its official status - the miracle city. It is an exhilarating international metropolis right on the border of Hong Kong - with famous ocean beaches, mountain gardens and accessibility to practically anything and everything.
But rather than just waxing poetic have a look at these links and decide for yourself.
