Now Shenzhen | June 19, 2023
Dear Shenzhen-er,
Happy Monday! Dragon Boat festivities have already begun - here's an article highlighting Expat residents of shekou getting their oars in the water to celebrate. For a short list of upcoming boat racing activities have a look at this article. New Energy Vehicles (NEV's) are being featured at the 27th Annual Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area International Auto Show running until this Saturday. If you're in the industry or simply have a personal interest the show is not to be missed! Finally here's some optimistic news about trends in international travel. We're trying to stay positive while waiting for roundtrip flights to/from US/Europe will return to pre-pandemic levels ourselves.
There are plenty of themed events coming up in celebration of the holiday that falls on this Thursday the 22nd this year. Besides the boat racing, if you didn't get a chance to sort out your tanning needs at one of the pool/beach parties last weekend there are still plenty of upcoming opportunities for that this weekend! Our MindBody group will be having another gathering this weekend for those of you looking for some psychological stimulation on Sunday afternoon. Have a look at our events listings page to find details about that even and to see what else is going on around town!
