Weekend in Shenzhen

2026/06/08 #personal

My wife and I spent the weekend in Shenzhen and I used the trip as an excuse to test out two things I've been excited about: the new Halide Mark III on my iPhone and my Fujifilm GFX 100S.

We spent most of our time in the 南山区 (Nanshan) area, which has become our go-to part of Shenzhen. Coffee was, as always, a highlight. We visited Root & Loop at the new MixC World and we also had a great time at 梓咖啡 (Zi Coffee).

One of the surprises of the weekend was finding proper Mexican food at Tequila Coyote's. I've been craving good Mexican ever since we moved to Asia and this was seriously good. Highly recommend if you find yourself in Shenzhen!

Already looking forward to the next trip across the border.
