A diplomatic mission of nearly 60 diplomats from approximately 40 countries began a two-day visit to Shenzhen on Jan. 18. During their visit, they gained insight into and were impressed by the rapid development within the Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong Modern Service Industry Cooperation Zone.

At the Qianhai Exhibition Hall, they were treated to a vivid sand table demonstration, allowing them to witness Qianhai’s transformation from a mudflat into a modern, international coastal urban area over the past 13 years of development and construction.
