EyeShenzhen (www.eyeshenzhen.com) is Shenzhen’s first English-language portal. It is run by Shenzhen Daily, Shenzhen’s only English-language newspaper.

Its target users include expats living in Shenzhen, those inclined to work or invest in Shenzhen and those who want to sightsee and know more about the city.

The website will let the world know more about Shenzhen and provide precise information for expats. It is composed of fur sections-- Profile, Guide for Residents, Business and Things to Do -- the contents take care of the needs of expats in Shenzhen. The inclusive service platform performs the following functions:

1. It provides a huge amount of useful information about life, work, study, government policies, transportation, medical services, culture, education, tourism, hotels and business in Shenzhen for expats.

2. It offers online consultation, answering questions online and by telephone hotline about transport, housing, dining and other aspects of living in Shenzhen.

3. It will gradually set up an e-service platform connected with government departments to help expats deal with paperwork, visa application and other things.

The name “EyeShenzhen” implies that people can take a close look at Shenzhen through the website, whereas “EYE” is the acronym for Equality，Young and Excellence – qualities innate in Shenzhen. The pronunciation resembles “爱深圳” in Chinese, which means “loving Shenzhen.”

Along with the website, a more convenient mobile platform -- an English-language WeChat service account by the same name -- is put into operation. Users can share “EyeShenzhen” contents by Weibo and WeChat with just one click.
