Did you know? Shenzhen

Shenzhen transformed from a fishing village of 30,000 people in 1979 to a megacity of over 12 million in just four decades after being designated China's first Special Economic Zone.

The city is home to the second-tallest building in China, the 599-meter Ping An International Finance Centre, completed in 2017.

Shenzhen's Luohu District was the first area to industrialise and remains the commercial heart, while the newer Futian District showcases modern architecture and finance.

The city has no historical old town or ancient temples—nearly everything tourists see was built after 1990, making it one of the world's newest major cities.

Shenzhen is a major hub for tech innovation and manufacturing, home to headquarters of Huawei, Tencent, and DJI drone manufacturer.

The city sits on the border with Hong Kong (Shenzhen River), and day trips between the cities are extremely popular and straightforward via train or bus.
