The rise of Shenzhen, China’s Silicon Valley – from seaside town to fast-moving city with secret pockets of tranquillity

A little over four decades ago, Shenzhen was a fishing town on China’s south coast. Today, it boasts the highest GDP per capita in China.

‘The Silicon Valley of China’ is now home to tech giants, graduates and entrepreneurs – but look closer and you can still see its roots and a slower way of life.

-------------------⭐⭐
Why is Shenzhen so famous?
-------------------⭐⭐
Shenzhen is the home to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, one of the largest stock exchanges in the world by market capitalization and the Guangdong Free-Trade Zone. Shenzhen is ranked as an Alpha- (global first-tier) city by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network.

-------------------⭐⭐
Why is Shenzhen so rich?
-------------------⭐⭐
Shenzhen became China's first Special Economic Zone in 1980. This meant tax exemptions, land subsidies, and more control in operating private businesses, which led to several companies — and entrepreneurs — becoming billion-dollar rich.

-------------------⭐⭐
Is Shenzhen good for tourists?
-------------------⭐⭐
One of the most important and profitable tourist cities in China, Shenzhen is regarded as the capital of Chinese theme parks and tourism innovation. There are more than 100 scenic spots around the city, including man-made theme parks, natural ecological parks, coastal resorts, shopping plazas and historic sites.

-------------------⭐⭐
HAUS NOWHERE SHENZHEN
-------------------⭐⭐
On September 5, 2024, the world’s third HAUS NOWHERE will open in Shenzhen, China.

The HAUS NOWHERE project, presented by Gentle Monster, represents a space unlike any other. Departing from traditional concepts of retail, HAUS NOWHERE envisions a ‘FUTURE RETAIL’ model that retail spaces should strive to achieve.

Unified by a compelling narrative under the theme of “INSECT KINGDOM,” the space weaves a fictional tale of the 10,000-year relationship between giants, insects and animals.

HAUS NOWHERE SHENZHEN is more than just a shopping destination; it is a vast universe with its own narrative. Visitors are invited to step into the tale, where they become part of the story, engaging both their emotions and creativity.

Qianhai area in Shenzhen | Top Architect
-------------------⭐⭐
Qianhai in Shenzhen is one of three areas designated by Beijing for the next stage of China’s Reform and Opening.

It has been slow getting going, but changes are being accelerated.

Facing the South China Sea, Qianhai doesn’t have much room for future expansion – unless further reclamation work is done.

However for now, that suits local and national officials just fine: What Qianhai is set to accomplish in the coming years under the Greater Bay Area masterplan, is all about quality rather than quantity.

The area’s official name is the Qianhai-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Modern Service Industry Cooperation Zone. The name gives a hint of what it is all about: bringing Hong Kong and Shenzhen together, step by step.

Qianhai’s location is symbolic, too. It sits close to the Shenzhen Bay Bridge, which connects Hong Kong to the Shekou port, the area of Shenzhen where Reform and Opening began.

Today, the area is probably the most internationalised of any in China outside of Shanghai. For starters, its entertainment district looks much like Hong Kong’s clubbing district Lan Kwai Fong.

Situated ten minutes north of Shekou, around the artificially-constructed Qianhai Bay, the special zone has no barriers or fences. On this section of reclaimed land, construction crews and office workers alike work around the clock. Thanks to them, Shenzhen has come to define China’s frenetic pace of economic development like no other.
