Home to 18.2 million people in 2025, Shenzhen ranks as China’s third-largest city by urban population, after Shanghai and Beijing. This special economic zone stretches along the Pearl River estuary, with Hong Kong to the south and Macau to the southwest, while its port handles more containers than almost anywhere else in the world. In recent years, Shenzhen’s GDP has overtaken those of Hong Kong and Singapore, cementing its place among the world’s leading metropolises.
