I think Shenzhen is really an urban place, with many distinctive high-rise buildings, I think it's great!
What impressed me the most, of course, is the cross-sea bridge (Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge) that connects Shenzhen to Hong Kong. It is really very long, and I think it is very special.
When I visited on the first day, I happened to see the bridge, and then I thought it should be a huge project.
