The Fastest-Growing City in China

Shenzhen is a special economic zone, a national economic central city, an international city, a scientific and technological innovation center, a regional financial center and a hub of trade, commerce and logistics in China.


Originally known as Bao’an County of Guangzhou Prefecture, Shenzhen is located on the eastern bank of the Pearl River estuary in the southern part of Guangdong Province with local traditions of the Hakka culture and Lingnan culture. In 1980, it became the first special economic zone in China, serving as the window of China’s reform and opening-up and a newly-established city of immigrants. The city achieved the “speed of Shenzhen” and has been known as China’s Silicon Valley.
