Workation in Shenzhen: the essentials
Until 1979 this was a largely rural area on the Hong Kong border. Then China made it its first special economic zone, and Shenzhen now has about 18 million people, most of them newcomers or the children of newcomers. Tencent, Huawei, BYD and DJI are all based here, and the Huaqiangbei electronics market sells parts for almost any gadget. There is little old city to see, so the appeal lies in parks, the waterfront along Shenzhen Bay and the beaches on the eastern coast. Bao'an airport is about 30 km from the centre. Hong Kong is right across the border, but mainland internet rules still apply on this side, which puts Google and WhatsApp out of reach without extra tools.
