From fishing village to tech capital in forty years.
Every building in Shenzhen looks the way a dream looks.
In 1980, Shenzhen was still a small fishing village. Forty years later, it is China's youngest and most energetic first-tier city. Ping An Finance Centre, Tencent Tower, DJI headquarters — the skyline climbs higher every year.
Young people call it the city for making money, but dreams live here too: Huaqiangbei's electronics market, startup companies in Nanshan tech park, students writing code at Shenzhen University late into the night — everyone is finding their own road.
Shenzhen's slogan is: once you arrive, you are a Shenzhener. No exclusion, no baggage, only opportunity. In forty years, from village to tech capital, Shenzhen proved one thing: with dreams and sweat, wasteland can grow skyscrapers.
