Shenzhen to me embodies what China has accomplished. With everything in the developed world stalled, old, and boring -- I love that there are still cultures and civilizations that are vibrant and growing.
Shenzhen in 1980 was a patch of dirt with ~0 people and ~0 money.
Shenzhen was singled out to be the first of the five Special Economic Zones (SEZ) in May 1980. Initially, the SEZ comprises an area of only 327.5 km2 of southern Shenzhen, covering the current Luohu, Futian, Nanshan and Yantian districts. The SEZ was created to be an experimental ground for the practice of market capitalismwithin a community guided by the ideals of "socialism with Chinese characteristics".[21]
