Shenzhen - Wikitravel. Shenzhen. Shenzhen (深圳; Shēnzhèn) is one of the most populous cities in China. It is situated in Guangdong Province adjacent to Hong Kong. It is approximately 1. China's third- largest city, Guangzhou. The city is on the list of UNESCO Creative Cities.

Understand[edit]In 1. Shenzhen — then a group of farming and fishing communities along the Hong Kong border with a total population of a few hundred thousand — was designated the first of China's Special Economic Zones (SEZs). The plan was to create a sealed off enclave to experiment with market reforms and performance incentives without posing a threat or risk to the established political and economic system elsewhere in China. Shenzhen won the honor because of its proximity to the abundant capital resources and management expertise across the border in Hong Kong.

Since then, it has been a real boom town and today is a bustling city of 1. A 2. 01. 0 study conducted by Forbes magazine ranks Shenzhen's population density as the 5th highest in the world. Shenzhen also boasts the highest per capita GDP in China, pulling in an impressive USD1.

But many observers also point out that, given the preponderance of privately held companies in Shenzhen and the widespread avoidance of tax, it is highly likely that the GDP figure is also severely understated. A walk around Shenzhen's leafy western suburbs will quickly allay any doubts as to the wealth in the city. Although little visited by international tourists, Shenzhen is a popular destination for Chinese domestic tourists. They were originally attracted by its famous theme parks but as the city has developed and become richer they are increasingly drawn by Shenzhen's famous architecture, shopping, bars, restaurants and active art scene. Shenzhen's beaches have become famous throughout China.

In 2. 00. 6, the Dapeng Peninsula, the location of Shenzhen's best beaches, was nominated by the China National Geographic Magazine as one of the most beautiful coastlines in China. Visitors are also starting to recognize some fascinating historical sites, particularly those related to the Hakka culture and Hong Kong's annexation after the Opium Wars, which are scattered throughout the suburban area. The question of the population of Shenzhen is a hotly discussed one. Official Chinese population figures have been traditionally affected by the fact that the basis for reporting is those who have official registration or "hukou" in the city. Shenzhen has many immigrant workers whose hukou are for their home town or village, so "official" numbers are wildly low. An advance on this front came a couple of years ago when, for practical purposes, "hukou" was replaced by a residents' registration certificate. This certificate, which is cheap and easy to administer, and which allows for travel to Hong Kong without returning to one's place of origin for passport application, has made population counting easier.

Jackie Chan. Birthday:  Apr 7, 1. Birthplace. Hong Kong.

One of the most popular film personalities in the world, Jackie Chan came from a poverty- stricken Hong Kong family - - so poor, claims Chan, that he was almost sold in infancy to a wealthy British couple. As it turned out, Chan became his family's sole support. Enrolled in the Chinese Opera Research Institute at the age of seven, he spent the next decade in rigorous training for a career with the Peking Opera, excelling in martial arts and acrobatics. Billed as Cheng Lung, Chan entered films in his mid- teens, appearing in 2. Starting out as a stunt man, Chan was promoted to stardom as the potential successor to the late Bruce Lee. In his earliest starring films, he was cast as a stone- cold serious type, determined to avenge Lee's death. Only when he began playing for laughs did Chan truly attain full celebrity status.

Frequently referred to as the Buster Keaton of kung- fu, Chan's outlook on life is a lot more optimistic than Keaton's, but in his tireless devotion to the most elaborate of sight gags and the most awe- inspiring of stunts (many of which have nearly cost him his life), Chan is Keaton incarnate. From 1. 97. 8's The Young Master onward, Chan has usually been his own director and screenwriter. His best Hong Kong- produced films include the nonstop action- fests Project A (1. Police Story (1. 98.

Armour of God (1. Golden Horse Award- winning Crime Story (1.

Despite his popularity in Europe and Asia, Chan was for many years unable to make a dent in the American market. He tried hard in such films as The Big Brawl (1.

Cannonball Run flicks, but American filmgoers just weren't buying. At long last, Chan mined U. S. box- office gold with 1. Rumble in the Bronx, a film so exhilarating that audiences never noticed those distinctly Canadian mountain ranges looming behind the "Bronx" skyline.

Chan remained the most popular Asian actor with the greatest potential to cross over into the profitable English- speaking markets, something he again demonstrated when he co- starred with Chris Tucker in the 1. Rush Hour. In 2. 00. Chan had another success on his hands with Shanghai Noon, a comedy Western in which he starred as an Imperial Guard dispatched to the American West to rescue the kidnapped daughter (Lucy Liu) of the Chinese Emperor.

He maintained his status as one of the biggest movie stars in the world throughout the next decades in a series of films that include Rush Hour 2, The Tuxedo, Shankghai Knights, The Myth, Rush Hour 3. He enjoyed his biggest U. S. hit in quite some time starring in the 2. The Karate Kid opposite Jaden Smith. Even with his hits in the English- language world, Chan continued to work in China as well, as both an actor and a producer.

In 2. 01. 6, he won an Honorary Academy Award for his more than 5.
