'''Shenkuu''' is a mountainous land far North of [[Altador]] in [[Neopia]]. It was made available on September 8, 2006 after the [[Cyodrake's Gaze]] plot. Like the name suggests, Shenkuu is a [[wikipedia:China|Chinese]] themed world, although it takes its design from both China and [[wikipedia:Japan|Japan]]. Shenkuu has been unknown to Neopians for centuries, only to be revealed by the crew of the [[Cyodrake's Gaze]] after they received help from users. Its citizens are cautious of visitors, though this isn't explained why, but they have welcomed visitors from all over Neopia, spreading their trade as they are a merchant town. | '''Shenkuu''' is a mountainous land far North of [[Altador]] in [[Neopia]].
