Have you ever been to the richest district in the country?

Once there was a popular saying: If you haven't been to Beijing, you don't realize how low your official rank is; if you haven't been to Shenzhen, you don't realize how little money you have. Shenzhen is China's first Special Economic Zone, a significant symbol of reform and opening-up, and a pioneer of the strategy 'let some people get rich first.' Among its areas, Shekou in Shenzhen is known as the richest district in the country. Once a place for stowaways, it has now become an area of luxury houses. Have you ever been there? Shekou generally refers to the area within the China Merchants Shekou Industrial Zone, which is under the jurisdiction of Shekou Subdistrict and Merchants Subdistrict in Nanshan District, Shenzhen, Guangdong Province. It is located in the southeastern part of the Nantou Peninsula in Shenzhen, facing Shenzhen Bay to the east and the Pearl River Estuary to the west, across the sea from Yuen Long and Lau Fau Shan in Hong Kong's New Territories, belonging to Nanshan District, covering an area of 10.85 square kilometers. As a symbolic area of Shenzhen's reform and opening-up, Shekou has retained the marks of this era from its factories to the port, and now to the commercial district. Shekou is the pearl of Shenzhen's Nanshan District, and today's Shekou is the richest district in the country.
