Shenzhen
When talking about Shenzhen, you may immediately recall the important moment of the Reform and Opening-up. The Shenzhen Special Economic Zone was established in 1980. It comprised initially only four districts, namely Luohu, Futian, Nanshan, and Yantian. Undergoing several development processes, it has become the most prosperous area in Luohu, where several landmarks, including Grand Theatre, the MixC Shopping Mall and KK100, are located, turning the area into an attractive tourist destination.
Transforming from a small town in Bao'an County in the ancient time into a first-tier city enjoying equal status as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, Shenzhen has undeniably strong economic power. As Shenzhen becomes increasingly prosperous, the entertainment, arts and cultural, and innovation and technology sectors are developed. Shenzhen was therefore listed as, by Lonely Planet, the second best destination to visit in 2018.
Nowadays, you can easily get different guides to Shenzhen simply by searching the Internet. Having a wide range of attractions such as a resort complex that suits everyone, an exquisite arts centre, a cultural and creative park and a one-stop entertainment hot spot, Shenzhen is now the top destination for people in nearby areas to spend their weekend. Apart from entertainment and gourmet attractions, there are also many natural attractions in Shenzhen. Let's recharge ourselves by immersing into a green environment!

光明节 | 10月28日
光明节是犹太人的一个庆祝光明的节日。每年十二月的圣诞节是普天同庆的日子，但犹太人到今日仍对主耶稣抱持拒绝的态度，与二千年前无异所以圣诞节对犹太人而言并无意义，他们也不感兴趣。犹太人虽然不庆祝圣诞节，但在每年与圣诞节相若的日子，郤有另一个节期，那就是圣经中的修殿节。
