Shenzhen Travel Guide

Shenzhen Travel Overview:

If any Chinese city has headmostly and wholeheartedly embraced foreign capital, or most provocatively promoted and incentively encouraged both skeptical speculators or savvy investors from home and abroad to most successfully work out their get-rich-quick scheme, it is Shenzhen.

The test base and bridgehead for China's policies of reform and opening initiated by then-supreme leader Deng Xiaoping in 1979, Shenzhen has grown from a sleepy fishing village of few thousands people into a sprawling metropolis of 8 million people at a dizzying pace that no one has ever seen in practically a matter of just two decades.

As the buzzing engine driving China's current overwhelming economic boom, there is no doubt that this Special Economic Zone in its twenties may not stand out among other scenically charming and culturally intriguing cities in the country, but it is definitely a legend of modernization and internationalization at work within the grounds of one of the world's oldest surviving and thriving ancient civilizations which is absolutely invest-worthy and travel-worthy.

Despite its nascent charater and the absence of palpable historical and cultural heritage, Shenzhen has by no means lost its touch with its veritably ancient roots, and people of shenzhen, full of migrant vitality and youthful creativity, are aggressive yet realistic enough to bring together the advantageous coastal port location, the immediate proximity to Hongkong, elite Chinese and World sceneries and civilizations, authentic international cuisines, world-class recreation, pleasantly verdant enviroment as well as its warm and sunny climate into full coordination and create such delights and surprises to travelers as a myriad of amusement parks and family-fun attractions, beach resorts and golf courses, botanic gardens and parks, enviably efficient mass transit system, fabulous nightlife scene and shopping facilities, to name just a few.

Comepeting with Shanghai for annual shipping and manufacturing turnovers, Hongkong for fantastic shopping and fun attraction offerings, and the rest of the country and the world for opening mindset and innovative spirit, Shenzhen is actually not even remotely souless or toneless.
