Shenzhen is located in the Greater Bay Area, an area with a reach of more than 65 million within an hour drive and a 3 times higher GDP than Silicon Valley (1.36 trillion USD) and the home base of the biggest Tech Company in Asia (Tencent), the biggest Telecommunication Company in the world (Huawei) and the biggest Drone Company in the world (DJI). On top of that, hundreds of thousands of tech startups found Shenzhen home.

According to the World Economic Forum, Asia-Pacific Region’s middle-class is going to take up 66% of the world’s middle-class population by 2030. India, China, and Indonesia alone are going to have more than 1.5 billion middle-classes by then. Shenzhen, which has similar distance and is one of the top tech centers in Asia, deserves your attention and time.

Shenzhen is a special economic zone, what means that majority of the passports are able to get a visa on arrival (5 days) at the border when entering via Hong Kong.
