Did Fengshenshan always touch the clouds? Here at Fengshenshan, the air is thin. The views are breathtaking. Shenzhen sprawls below us, a testament to “Shenzhen speed.” This city, once a humble fishing village of just 30,000, transformed into a megacity of over 10 million. In 1979, a pivotal year, Shenzhen was designated China’s first Special Economic Zone. This sparked an economic boom, attracting both domestic and foreign investment. Fengshenshan witnessed the city’s incredible growth, the rise of skyscrapers like Ping An IFC, the fourth tallest building in the world. Shenzhen became a manufacturing powerhouse, producing electronics, textiles, and so much more. This growth was fueled by migrants, creating a diverse city, a “paradise of girls” as some called it, with a majority female population under 30. This rapid transformation brought both prosperity and challenges. The city grappled with a high crime rate, requiring a large police force second only to Beijing. Yet, Shenzhen persevered. It evolved into a hub of innovation, China’s “Silicon Valley,” home to tech giants like Huawei and Tencent. From this vantage point on Fengshenshan, we see the legacy of “Shenzhen speed.” We see the bustling city, a symbol of China’s economic miracle. We feel the energy, the ambition, the constant drive to innovate. Fengshenshan, a silent observer, stands tall, witnessing Shenzhen’s continuous evolution.
