• Value, space and style pull Hongkongers to Shenzhen’s new cultural hotspots

Contesto

For Dominique Li, a 45-year-old engineer living in Tin Shui Wai in Hong Kong’s northwestern New Territories, a two-day break earlier this month in Shenzhen was a chance to explore a growing array of cultural attractions just across the border. Accompanied by his wife, Li visited Shenzhen Bay Culture Square, a new landmark in the city’s Nanshan district, and said the short getaway would not be their last. “The spaces here are spacious, the design is modern, and the overall experience feels like a fresh alternative to what we have in Hong Kong,” Li said.

The high-speed rail link and multiple Shenzhen metro lines now connect directly to major Hong Kong stations, reducing travel time to under an hour from many parts of the city.
