Exploring Shenzhen with my lens

Having immersed myself in the vibrant city of Shenzhen for the past seven years while working for a local audio company, I’ve developed a profound affection for exploring Shenzhen’s hidden gems.

I was one of the winners of the sixth Expats Eye Shenzhen Photo Contest. For me, photography serves as a gateway to explore Shenzhen. Always on the lookout for hidden gems, I delve into various sources, like Shenzhen Daily and Chinese-language media, or meticulously studies maps and satellite images.

My explorations have taken me to every corner of Shenzhen, unearthing the city’s diversity, distinctiveness, and rich historical legacy. I’ve been to all the subway lines. One year, I did a special project. I went to the terminal station of every single subway line — going around, learning a bit more about the place, taking photos there.
