My impression of Shenzhen

Shenzhen’s cleanliness makes a strong impression on me. The city’s taxis and public buses are all electric. Factories are located a bit farther out and are equipped with filters. The decarbonized energy produced by nearby power plants also helps. Shenzhen is very new and modern. New technologies were often first developed here — it’s like a lab for all of China.

People in Shenzhen come from all over China, which offers a great opportunity to learn about various Chinese traditions in one place. The night views of Shenzhen’s CBD areas remind me of the film “Blade Runner.”In that sense, the city feels futuristic, especially with advanced technologies like flying vehicles and delivery drones. The younger generation also brings in fresh ideas.

Daily life in Shenzhen is both convenient and comfortable, thanks to its efficient delivery systems, modern public transportation, and clean environment.

After living and working in Shenzhen for a year, I observe that while the city may not be the best place to explore China’s historical heritage, it is an excellent destination for expats seeking career opportunities, entrepreneurship, and a relaxed, modern lifestyle.
