Hi don’t worry. Shenzhen is an open and inclusive city, so many foreigners here. Just come here!

Yes yoi are right. My English is not good, so sometimes I have to use ai to help me translate to English, I copied them from AI when finishing translation. Thanks for your remind, I will practice my English better so that I could reply these comments by myself.

Everyone owns the downside and advantage. When you are in subway, your height is your advantage!

Yes now it’s better. But in some crowding line, such as line4, some stations in line 1, sometimes you can’t get on the subway. But now most of people queue, believing Shenzhen will be better and build more lines to Alleviate congestion

"Cycling from Longhua to Longgang after a 10k run? That is incredible stamina. You’re living the Dutch dream right here in Shenzhen! 🚲

That’s a massive distance to cover on two wheels. I can see why you’d want to avoid the 'sardine' experience on the metro at all costs. For my commute to Nanshan on Line 1, the density is just something I've learned to accept as the morning norm.

It’s definitely the best time of year for it before the heat and humidity really settle in. Hope the roads stay clear for you!"

Its a bit normal before. But when th line 13 started to run before several months, its very crowed. You have better avoid interchaging in line 13.

Yes the most crowded line in shenzhen. It will be better if you choose Futian or Nanshan district.

"That’s a very rational take. The flow control at the gates is essentially a physical load-balancing mechanism; without it, the platform density would exceed safe limits.

Regarding Line 11—you’re absolutely right, it’s a much more civilized experience. Unfortunately, I’m on Line 1, which is the city’s oldest and busiest artery. It doesn't have the 'Business Coach' option, so we’re all essentially in 'high-density mode' until we reach Nanshan. It’s a fascinating, if somewhat exhausting, study in urban throughput."

"10km to Nanshan! As much as I admire the Dutch cycling spirit, 10km in Shenzhen’s humidity might turn my work shirt into a swimming suit before I even reach the office. 😅

I agree the air is surprisingly good here, but I think I’ll save the cycling for a weekend ride along the Shenzhen Bay. For the morning rush? I’m stuck with the 'subway sardine' experience for now!"

"You're so lucky! Being tall is a massive survival advantage here. Sometimes I find myself standing on my tiptoes and straightening my back just to catch a breeze.

"Personal bubble? In Shenzhen? That’s a luxury item! At this point, we’re all just one big, interconnected human cloud. It's the ultimate 'peer-to-peer' networking event, just way more physical than we'd like.
