How do I like Shenzhen?
Shenzhen is a brand new city, the central goverment of China built it overnight in the 1980s, almost every street is straight, and it was like the heaven for almost every young guy or girl in mainland China in 1980s and 1990s, it also attracts a lot of Hongkong people to come to live here, that is why it is a city of immigration, and that is why this city is the youngest one in the world. Many people stay here and grow with the city, and many people keep busy and contribute a lot for this young city to make it better and better.
