A Cuban in China: Shenzhen, The Megacity

A Cuban in China: Shenzhen, The Megacity

February 2024 · 3 min read · China

The last time we talked we were on our way to Shenzhen, so let's talk about this city and I'm sure the curiosities it has will surprise you.

Starting with the fact that it is a city with over 20 million inhabitants and one of the several megacities in China. Even with what I've told you, this city continues to grow, although it may not seem like it. There are many skyscrapers and large buildings that are still under construction, and this is due to the importance this city is gaining because of its location in the South of China and its proximity to Hong Kong.

Its history is that of a town that, being close to Hong Kong, used to buy different phone parts or technological products to assemble a final product that could be sold. This is how they gradually created industries that produce hundreds of thousands of technological products daily, and smartphones are just one of those products. There are industrial parks in its surroundings with hundreds of high-tech Chinese companies working. Not to mention that there are technology parks where companies have their administrative offices and some small automated industrial plants within the city. I was lucky to visit the offices of one of these companies, but that will be another post. Today I want to finish by showing you some of the buildings that I liked the most in this city.

Let me know which ones you liked the most and what you think.

La última vez que hablamos estábamos de camino a Shenzhen, así que hablemos de esta ciudad y estoy seguro de que las curiosidades que tiene te van a sorprender.

Comenzando por el hecho de que es una ciudad de más de 20 millones de habitantes y una de las varias megaciudades que existen en China. Aun con lo que te he dicho, esta ciudad sigue en pleno crecimiento, aunque no lo pueda parecer. Existen mucho rascacielos y grandes edificaciones que aún están en proceso de ser construidos y esto está dado por la importancia que está teniendo esta ciudad por su ubicación al Sur de China y al estar tan cercana a Hong Kong.

Su historia es la de un pueblo que al estar cerca de Hong Kong, compraban distintas piezas de teléfonos o productos tecnológicos para armar un producto final que pudiera ser vendido. Fue así como poco a poco fueron creando industrias que crean a diario cientos de miles de productos tecnológicos y los celulares inteligentes son solo uno de esos productos. En sus alrededores existen parques industriales con cientos de empresas chinas de alta tecnología trabajando. Sin dejar de mencionar que dentro de la ciudad existen parques tecnológicos donde las empresas poseen sus oficinas administrativas y algunas plantas industriales pequeñas automatizadas. Tuve la suerte de ir a las oficinas de una de esas empresas, pero eso será otra publicación. Hoy quiero terminar enseñándoles algunas de las edificaciones que más me gustaron de esta ciudad.

Déjame saber cuáles te gustaron más y que piensas de una ciudad con más de 20 millones de habitantes que aún sigue creciendo. Los leo en los comentarios.
