The historic Minghua cruise ship at Sea World in Shekou has been transformed into a must-visit cultural destination in Shenzhen, following a remarkable 1,000-day renovation. Reopened to the public last October, the Ancerville — an immersive performing arts complex that artfully blends China's reform and opening-up legacy with world-class international theatrical innovation.

Imagine strolling along a breezy lakeside trail when, with a deep rumble that vibrates beneath your feet, a vintage freight train emerges from the landscape. It chugs slowly past, a powerful slice of industrial nostalgia set against nature’s calm.

No Chinese Lunar New Year is complete without flowers — the ultimate symbols of luck, prosperity, and joy.

Named for their resemblance to clusters of firecrackers, the cannonball flowers feature vibrant orange-red blossoms that hang in long rows. They now create a unique floral landscape within Shenzhen’s parks, with their blossoms flowing downward like cascading waterfalls.
