Shenzhen Luohu District

Luohu is Shenzhen's first district, established next to Hong Kong in 1979. China's first stock exchange, first futures exchange, and first local commercial bank opened here although the financial district subsequently moved westwards.

Kingkey 100 is the current tallest building in the city, standing at almost 442m tall. Consisting of offices, retail, and hotel. From the hotel lobby, you can see Hong Kong's northern suburbs.

The city is densely built up around the building. Shun Hing Square next door used to be the city's tallest and looks tiny now.

Luxury goods tax in China drives customers south for their shopping needs.

The Grand Hyatt's lobby offers nice views of the city, although still quite a bit lower than the St. Regis nearby.

The reception faces the emptiness of Hong Kong's northern suburbs.

Dongmen is a large market zone spanning several streets, selling a variety of clothing and foods.
