>of Hong Kong: (see http://www.cuhk.edu.cn/en/ for more information).
>Shenzhen is a first-tier city, along with Beijing, Shanghai and
>Guangzhou. It was one of the first Special Economic Zones where
>Chinese economic reform started 35 years ago. Now known as China's
>"Silicon Delta" in a recent article in the Economist magazine,
>Shenzhen is home to many of the most recognizable Chinese private,
>high-tech firms such as Tencent and Huawei, as well as Shenzhen
>Stock Exchange. Shenzhen is located just north of Hong Kong, only
>one hour away from Hong Kong airport by car. It is an excellent
>window into the vibrant private-sector economy of China, and it
>promises to be a different experience from visiting Beijing or Shanghai.
>
>We look forward to hearing from you.
