LUOHU District is one of the oldest areas in Shenzhen, with many landmark venues reflecting the city’s history. The district was established in 1979, when the newly established city of Shenzhen was transformed from the previous county of Bao’an. The thriving commercial block of Dongmen provides vitality to the city; the 50-story Shenzhen International Trade Center Building is a result of the “Shenzhen Speed” of building one floor every three days; the 69-story Diwang Mansion offers an unforgettable 360-degree view of Shenzhen; the Shenzhen Railway Station has been connecting the mainland and Hong Kong for 70 years and annually sees large visitor flows; and the Wutong Mountain provides outstanding views from the top. Some key enterprises in finance, wholesale and retail, plus its service sectors, have played a prominent role as the “ballast stone” of the economy and main drivers of growth in Luohu. It is also noted that the growth of strategic emerging industries in Luohu is robust and the district has secured fresh stimulus through economic restructuring.(SD News) |
