About Shenzhen

Shenzhen, on the Hong Kong border in Guangdong, grew from a fishing district into a modern city of towers, parks and technology.

Until 1980, Shenzhen was a county of farms and fishing villages on the border with Hong Kong; then it became one of China's first special economic zones and grew into a city of skyscrapers, among them the Ping An Finance Centre, one of the tallest buildings in the world. Parks and wide boulevards run through the centre, and Lianhuashan Park, a hill with a statue of Deng Xiaoping, gives a view over the towers.
