Endless summer joy in town

When night descends upon Shenzhen, the city comes alive with a vibrant display of communal spirit. Seeking respite from the summer heat, residents flock to the plazas to engage in leisure activities. Amid the bustling streets, the air is filled with enchanting melodies as some passers-by grace the night with their impromptu music performances. Lovely children also captivate residents with their mesmerizing live shows on plazas or at shopping malls. Furthermore, theme parks are transformed into wonderlands, hosting a myriad of carnivals that cater to everyone.
