'''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 nonetheless they have welcomed visitors from all over Neopia, spreading their trade (as it is a merchant town).

Joining the [[Altador Cup]] in 2007, Shenkuu is regarded by [[Altador Cup]] enthusiasts as an exciting young team with plenty of promise, but they were expected not to make much noise in the tournament, having too many holes in their team. The inexperience of goalie [[Xana DiLanche]], the unpredictable health of defender [[Turo Rafels]], and the team's overall lack of tournament play are all serious concerns. However, the stunning talent of young forwards [[Mirsha Grelinek]] and [[Foltaggio]] may cause a few upsets. 

The team surpassed expectations by claiming 3rd place in the 2007 Cup after defeating [[Krawk Island]] in the 3rd place game while the following year in [[Altador Cup III]], they dropped down one spot to 4th place. In [[Altador Cup IV]] Shenkuu came second after, shockingly, beating top seed [[Kreludor]] and losing to [[Krawk Island]] in the finals.

==Trivia==
*The name ''Shenkuu'' was first revealed on the [[Kou-jong]] game page accidentally at its first release.
*A [[Neopedia]] article about Shenkuu was released on September 30, 2006, but wasn't uploaded into the servers until October 2, 2006. When users clicked the link in [[New Features]] until this point, they encountered a page saying that Neopedia article didn't exist.
*Shenkuu was nominated for the ''Best Place to Live'' category during the 2008 [[Neopies]].
