Have you heard of a place called Yuan Dong Zai? It’s a peak here in Shenzhen. Yuan Dong Zai isn’t as flashy as some of Shenzhen’s skyscrapers. It doesn’t have the bustling energy of Huaqiang North. But it offers a different perspective. A connection to the natural world. Shenzhen, as many of you know, is a city built on speed and innovation. We’ve gone from a small village to a megacity in just a few decades. But before the skyscrapers and the factories, there were peaks like Yuan Dong Zai. Places where you could feel the pulse of the earth. Breathe in the fresh air. Shenzhen’s history is deeply intertwined with the land. Our very name, Shenzhen, means “deep drains,” referring to the network of drainage ditches that crisscrossed the rice paddies. From those humble beginnings, we’ve risen to become a global tech hub. But amidst the hustle and bustle, it’s important to remember our roots. To appreciate the natural beauty that still exists within our city limits. Yuan Dong Zai is a reminder of that. It’s a place to escape. To reconnect with nature. To find a moment of peace amidst the Shenzhen speed. As you stand here, looking at Yuan Dong Zai, imagine the city as it once was. Picture the lush green landscape. The quiet villages. The deep drains that gave our city its name. Shenzhen’s transformation has been remarkable. But Yuan Dong Zai reminds us that even in a city of millions, there’s still room for nature’s quiet grandeur.
