Research and ideas for Shenzhen
The research identify what kind of buildings and things are in my hometown, and to identify the three that I have chosen that best represent my past in Shenzhen and include my feelings towards my hometown. The research showed that Shenzhen, one of the most southerly cities by the sea in China, is also one of the fastest growing and expanding cities in recent years, as I could not possibly depict an entire city. So I would like to depict a part of the area where I live, Shekou District. It exists as the port area and the old residential district of Shenzhen.
Through the photographs I had taken in the past, I began to define the style, the look of the building. And the feeling of urbanity and nature that a city like Shenzhen has created.
- For me, this is the area I know best and have lived in for the longest time. As for the reasons for choosing these three things, first of all, most of the land in Shekou is artificially reclaimed land, and in the early days these concrete walls were made to keep out the waves in order to prevent some tides.

In the early days, concrete walls were made to keep out the waves. Later, they were transformed into stone walls for aesthetic purposes. Nowadays, these walls are a common part of the district and can be found close to the coast and in the seafront parks. For me these stone walls along the shoreline were the signposts I used to use every day when I went to school to show me where to go and where I was home. It contains most of my memories of primary school.
- Secondly, Shenzhen Bay Park, a landmark park in Shenzhen, situated along 9.06km of coastline, is the symbol of the charm and image of the modern coastal city of Shenzhen. This park is also the place I remember most about Shenzhen, as I used to ride bicycles throughout the park with friends in the early hours of the morning, picnics and sports in the park with my family, and it was the place where we counted down to the New Year’s Eve fireworks display every year.
- Last but not least is the China Resources Tower, known as the Springbok Tower, which is visible from all over Shekou and I often look at it to see where I am going. The building also took a long time to build, starting when I first arrived in Shenzhen and only gradually being completed when I was ready to leave to study in the USA.
