My New Town

Thought you may like to see some photos my new town, Shenzhen. I haven't had the camera out too much as I've been working most days. As you can see the smog is fairly thick, this is due to Shenzhen being a Special Economic Zone. I'm told that up until about 20 years ago it was just a sleepy fishing village. The more traditional Chinese building is part of what is left of the Old City. The sunset photo was taken last night in Zhong Shan park. You can see the park in the overview photo, taken from the 32nd floor balcony of the apartment I've been house-sitting. I am hoping to travel over Chinese New Year,which is coming up on February 18, so will be back with more photos and an update then.
