Thanks for writing this guide, really anjoyed reading it and also really useful. Is the Zhuhai international circuit (the racing track) in this area? How far from city center it is? When I visit Shenzhen, I’d deifnetely want to check that out too (beside the regular attractions), since I’m a big racing fan.
