Once a remote fishing village, Shenzhen as we know it today is one of China’s wealthiest, liveliest and most progressive cities. Shenzhen now rivals Shanghai and Beijing as the city of choice for young Chinese professionals and expats – which isn’t surprising given the pleasant seaside climate, proximity to Hong Kong and lively nightlife. Shenzhen beautifully balances megacity status (with 283 skyscrapers) and nature, with several different landscapes all within reach in the same city.
