Nanshan District

Nanshan District is an administrative division in southwestern Shenzhen that combines office districts, neighborhoods, and research parks into a layered urban area. Businesses, institutions, and public spaces are woven together, creating a complex modern cityscape.

The district grew from rural land after Shenzhen became a Special Economic Zone in 1979. This shift from farming to urban development reshaped the area over subsequent decades.

Eight universities within Nanshan District form an educational center that attracts students and researchers from across China and international locations.

The area connects to other parts of Shenzhen through multiple metro lines, making movement straightforward. Numerous shopping centers, parks, and administrative buildings are distributed throughout for visitor access.

Nanshan District generates a GDP exceeding 800 billion yuan, surpassing the economic output of several independent nations.
