Shekou area is nice and I try to stop at Wagas in Mix C whenever I’m in town. Delicious. Traffic is absolutely horrendous though at all hours of the day, we’ll into the night.

Very busy and very limited english translations. I would not feel comfortable without being with someone who spoke the language to be able to communicate.
