China, Shenzhen city, 8 March 2012 A grey day in the centre of Shenzhen, where the development of modern China began. The heart of the New Economic Zone where Deng Xiaoping visited at his famous 1992 Southern Tour and apparently said To Get Rich Is Glorious. People coming from the underground station in front of the Shangri La, one of the first luxurious hotels in Shenzhen since the late 80s. De Shangri La was het eerste moderne hotel in shenzhen ruim 20 jaar geleden. Photo Kees Metselaar
