Shenzhen
Shenzhen may be China's youngest city, but this is one metropolis that's definitely come of age. A small farming town until 1980, Shenzhen was chosen by Deng Xiaoping as an incubator in which the seeds of China's economic reform were to be nurtured. The results are the stuff of legend; a quarter century later, Shenzhen is now China's richest, and, according to some, its most vibrant city.
Until recently, most visitors thought of China's youngest city as a place to pass through on the way from Hong Kong to Guangzhou. But over the last several years, this has changed as more expats chose to call Shenzhen home, and more travelers discover that the city is a unique destination in itself.
