Terms · 使用条款
Using this site,
in plain terms.
What this guide is, what it is not, and the sensible limits on relying on it.
By using lifeshenzhen.com you accept the terms below. They cover the site itself; paid work is governed separately by the service terms.
What this site is
It is one person’s independent guide to Shenzhen, written from living here since 2018. It is not an official source, a legal, immigration, tax, medical or financial adviser, and it is not affiliated with any government body, school, hotel or restaurant mentioned on it.
Accuracy, and its limits
I check what I publish and date the pages that carry volatile information, but Shenzhen changes quickly. Prices move, rules on visas, vehicles and border crossings are revised, and businesses close without notice. Anything that carries a cost or a legal consequence should be confirmed against the official source or the business itself before you act on it. Where a page says to confirm something, that instruction is doing real work — please follow it.
I am not liable for losses arising from relying on information here. That is not me disclaiming care; it is the honest limit of what a guide written by one person can promise.
Prices shown on this site
Hotel, restaurant, school, service and product figures are estimates and typical ranges, not quotes or offers. A price becomes a commitment only in a written quote I send you.
Links out
Links to official sites, booking platforms, schools and businesses are provided because they are useful. I do not control them and am not responsible for their content or their handling of your data.
Content and copyright
The writing, layout and original photographs are mine. You are welcome to quote a short passage with a link back. Republishing pages wholesale, or feeding the site into a product without permission, is not. Some photographs are used under Creative Commons licences and are credited where they appear; those remain the property of their photographers and carry the licence terms shown.
Contact
Corrections are genuinely welcome — if something here is wrong, tell me at [email protected] and I will fix it and re-date the page.
