HQB invites you to enjoy old games, listen to ‘Voice of SZ’

‘Voice of Shenzhen’

From cruise ships’ whistles in Shekou Port to birds’ humming in Huanggang Park, from keyboard typing sounds in an office in Shenzhen Hi-Tech Park to the sound of sea waves in Dameisha, visitors can now listen to various sounds recorded in Shenzhen at the “Voice of Shenzhen” exhibition.
