    yes, you need a visa to Mainland China if you plan to visit Shenzhen. but you do not need a visa to Shenzhen if you join in a group tour through a travel agency in Hong Kong and stay in Shenzhen less than 6 days.

  Hey, Debbie
  You do not need a visa to Kowloon since it is a part of Hong Kong SAR.

  I would like to purchase a Cloisonne necklace. Just one oval or round stone with a sixteen inch gold chain. I had a red one which has been stolen or misplaced and I would very much like to have one in blue and in red if not too expensive to purchase two. I enjoyed reading about cloisonne coming from the ming dynasty, that was thrilling to learn. Thank you if you can help me find another cloisonne necklace. Sincerely, Kay
