Shenzhen is a city of sub-provincial administrative status in southern
China's Guangdong province, situated immediately north of Hong Kong.
Owing to China's economic liberalization from the policies of reformist leader Deng Xiaoping,
the area became China's first - and ultimately most successful - Special Economic Zone.
Shenzhen's novel and modern cityscape is the result of the vibrant economy made possible
by rapid foreign investment since the late 1970s, when it was but a small fishing village.
Since then, foreign nationals have invested more than US$30 billion for building factories and
forming joint ventures.
It is now reputedly one of the fastest growing cities in the world.
Being southern China'a major financial centre, Shenzhen is home to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange
as well as the headquarters of numerous high-tech companies.
Shenzhen is also the second busiest port in mainland China, ranking only after Shanghai.
