Shenzhen SPEED - from small fishing village to most MODERN city in China

The development of Shenzhen over the past 50 years has been nothing short of extraordinary. From a small fishing village in the late 1970s to one of the world's most dynamic and thriving metropolises, Shenzhen has become a symbol of rapid urbanization, economic growth, and technological innovation in China.
This video is the first part of our Shenzhen series. In the 1st part of this video we'll explain how Shenzhen has developed so fast in the last 40 years to become one of the largest megacities in China. In the 2nd part of the video (which will be uploaded seperately) I will visit some of the largest tech companies (BYD, Huawei, Tencent) in Shenzhen as well as Huaqiangbei to explain how Shenzhen has become one of the tech centers of the globe.
