There is nothing historical in the city, so apart from eating, eating and eating, there is nothing you could really do there.

BUT, it is nice to visit, just enjoy the nice hotel, shops and restaurants.
Have to cavil here and mention that, besides its SEZ history - which ostensibly leads us to reading threads specifically about Shenzhen - there's also a bit of older history. For instance, check out Nantou, or Dapeng. Other sites exist, but these are just a couple of examples.

In other news, the food is awesome.
