Shenzhen
Excerpted from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shenzhen is a sub-provincial city of Guangdong province in southern China.
Although this city is famous for its extreme proximity with the boundary of Hong Kong, it is at least 25km away from the core urban area of Hong Kong.
Shenzhen is a centre of foreign investment and since the late 1970s has been one of the fastest growing cities in the world.
It is also the busiest port in China after Shanghai.
In the past two decades, outsiders have invested more than $30 billion in Shenzhen for building factories and forming joint ventures.

The one-time fishing village of Shenzhen, singled out by late Chinese paramount leader Deng Xiaoping, was the first of the Special Economic Zones (SEZ) in China.
It was originally established in 1979 due to its proximity to Hong Kong, then a prosperous British colony.
The SEZ was created to be an experimental ground of capitalism in "socialism with Chinese characteristics".

The location was chosen to attract industrial investments from Hong Kong since the two places are nearby each other and share the same culture.
The concept proved to be a great success, propelling the further opening up of China and continuous economic reform.
Shenzhen eventually became one of the largest cities in the Pearl River Delta region, which has become one of the economic powerhouses of China as well as the largest manufacturing base in the world.

We, Hui Chin and I nipped over from Hong Kong to Shenzhen, by train. Although Hong Kong and Shenzhen are in the same country, China, there's a strict passport control at the border of the two giant cities. Both cities or boroughs or districts have special, but different status under Beijing's rule.

Shenzhen is a very vibrant place and a shoppers paradise for variety and bargain prices.

We will be back.
