Guangzhou. Has some old stuff to look at. Shenzhen is just a generic big city. The main good thing about Shenzhen is that it is easy to get to Hong Kong... 

 

The two are just a quick dash on CRH from each other, if you spend a week in one, going to the other for a day is not a big problem.

The eternal question.

 

Guangzhou is more traditional, Shenzhen is more modern.

 

In Guangzhou the main language is Cantonese, in Shenzhen it's Mandarin.

 

Guangzhou is the center of Cantonese culture, Shenzhen is a melting pot of people from all over China.

 

Guangzhou has thousands of years of history, Shenzhen is a boom city with its history starting in 1979.

 

Now for Guangzhou if you like real China you will find it in the districts of Liwan and Yuexiu, the city's economy revolve around services, it has a unique taste as it's where the Cantonese culture was born.

 

Shenzhen has ultra-modern infrastructures and buildings, some of the craziest /most ambitious construction projects in the world are in Shenzhen, the economy revolve around high-tech and manufacturing, streets are cleaner, HK is just across the border.

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa
A:No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa/RP sponsor can have an objections to your part-time job. I did the same at my English teaching in China and elsewhere, butT ... I casually mentioned at my prime job, some kindergarten or another school asked me to work with them part-time. Then, my Q: "Is that permitted?" ...  Answer from RP sponsor was always "Yes, but you can't be late or miss the classes at our school ..." with my reply: "No, our work schedule has a priority, and I'll arrange classes at kindergarten only in my free time." When I cleared that, I was undertaking any extra teaching hours at other schools and private students in my free time.Sometimes, teachers at my prime job asked me if I'm willing to have some extra classes elsewhere.I accepted after the talk with School's principal. I suggest, you test the felling at your Z/RP sponsor and once you see they don't object, you can work at 2nd job. Keeping your 2nd job as a secret from your employer won't work, 'cause you're laowai and Chinese know exactly what you do in your free time. However, despite your employer's agreement for extra work, you are still in violation of Chinese Labour law, and even if your sponsor agrees to your extra work, you can still get in trouble, because it's clearly written (somewhere ... ) that under Z/WP, one can work only at the Z-sponsor and nowhere else. Penalties ... I'd say, there won't be any warnings and you'll be required to exit China in short Exit time.It never happened to me, so I can't really advice how is when manure hits the fan ...  -- icnif77
