About Shenzhen
Chinese city on the border with Hong Kong, a fishing town until it was designated a special economic zone in 1980. Electronics manufacturing built it in a single generation.
Population about 10,350,000 at the game's 2010 snapshot.
Shenzhen is a business market: its traffic comes from companies and connections rather than from holidays, which rewards frequency over seat count.
