My (orange) octopus can be used on the entire MTR network in Shenzhen , but isn't sold in many places. If there are other places in Shenzhen that accept it, I haven't noticed.
Switching topics, I typically withdraw cash from ATMs in HK (and pretty much everywhere else, for that matter). My big tip on this point is to avoid pulling out multiples of 500 (because there's a good chance that you'll end up with 500s only, and lots of smaller merchants dislike 500s).
