As part of our 24hours in Shenzhen, my wife and I tried to get to as many shopping areas as we could in that time frame. Star Plaza was where we met a friend or ours from Canada who was teaching in the area and it was loud in the plaza with street noise. The shops that we did go in to the service seemed to be non existent, could have been people were intimidated by us being from Canada and not sure how to speak to us. I guarantee their English would have been better than my Cantonese/Mandarin. When leaving one of the main floor shops, a guy and girl on a motorcycle raced down the sidewalk almost taking us out. That was not fun at all and I'm not sure if that was a regular thing for the area or a one time thing. Either way, we were not impressed and soon continued on to the next shopping area on our Shenzhen adventure.
