Shenzhen,China - South China big city

Shenzhen is a city of sub-provincial administrative status in southern China's Guangdong province, situated immediately north of Hong Kong. Owing to China's economic liberalization from the policies of reformist leader Deng Xiaoping, the area became China's first - and ultimately most successful - Special Economic Zone.
Shenzhen's novel and modern cityscape is the result of the vibrant economy made possible by rapid foreign investment since the late 1970s, when it was a small fishing village. Since then, foreign nationals have invested more than US$30 billion for building factories and forming joint ventures. It is now reputedly one of the fastest growing cities in the world.
Being southern China's major financial centre, Shenzhen is home to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange as well as the headquarters of numerous high-tech companies. Shenzhen is also the second busiest port in mainland China, ranking only after Shanghai.

There are actually large pedestrian zones in Shenzhen. Also, most of the population lives in high density low-rise and mid-rise neighbourhoods. Probably, there are more narrow roads in Shenzhen than in most European cities.
I think many people on this forum get a completely unrealistic view of Chinese cities because most pictures here show only skyscrapers and highways. Since most people have never been to Shenzhen or other Chinese cities, they will get the impression that the cities lack any 'life'.

Mercutio, thank you for showing some streetscapes, I am already bored to see skylines and highways all the time, I want to see cities, people, activity, energy of places.
