There is a faster pace to things and a exciting feel. Even if you just walk across the border from HK, you feel it. HK is luxurious, old, comforting. Shenzhen is vibrant, down to earth and happenin. The old vs. the new. Coming back to China from the “west” is awesome!! There is a faster pace to things and a exciting feel.

I'm feeling similar feelings about the difference between life in the big, and life in the second tier cities. Only time will tell, but man, SH is a good place to be.
