Shenzhen

The "Shenzhen Special Economic Zone" is special in other ways, too

Created specifically as an experiment in capitalism, Shenzhen is also a laboratory for the study of clashing cultures, and the conflict between old values and new. This section of The Temple Guy will take a close look at this transitional Zone.

Note: for areas in Longgang and Bao'an--that is, in Shenzhen but outside of the Special Economic Zone--please see the China pages.
