     Recently, Shenzhen has become a popular shopping destination. Like Singaporeans who have been traveling in droves to nearby Johor Bahru for shopping and good food, Hong Kong locals have been enjoying trips to Shenzhen (1) [where] there are discounts, attractions and fine cuisine galore. This open secret has been the choice for many out to have some weekend fun and it is (2) [only] a matter of time (3) [before] Shenzhen becomes one of the top must-visit destinations in Asia.
     A stone's throw (4) [away] from the hustling and bustling city of Hong Kong, Shenzhen is gaining a name as a commercial hub of China, partly (5) [due] to it being a Special Economic Zone. (6) [although] Shenzhen may lack the natural beauty, the industrious city makes it up with its wide number of man-made amusement parks and sheer ambition to be a cut (7) [above] the rest.
     (8) [moreover], Shenzhen locals take (9) [their] food seriously. Regional delicacies are found everywhere in this migrant city though the most popular styles of cooking would have to be Cantonese and Hunan cuisine.
     An ideal place for a family vacation, it appeals (10) [to] many as it is not too far away, is a shoppers' paradise and has interesting places to keep the children occupied for the day. It's definitely worth spending time there.
