On the night of November 12, 2025, Shenzhen’s skyline comes alive in a dazzling display of light and energy. As a window into China’s reform and opening-up and the core engine of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Shenzhen has recently made remarkable strides in innovation-driven development and improving residents’ livelihoods, earning its status as a global hub for science and technology.
This November, the city is playing host to key events of the 15th National Games, from rhythmic gymnastics to swimming and basketball. Against a backdrop of towering skyscrapers and bustling streets, athletes and fans alike are soaking in Shenzhen’s vibrant urban charm.
Beyond the competition venues, Shenzhen’s night view reflects its economic vitality and forward-thinking spirit. Neon-lit towers stand as symbols of the city’s high-tech ambitions, while smart public spaces and lively pedestrian districts showcase how innovation is woven into daily life.
In Shenzhen, the fusion of sport and technology creates a unique "technology and integration" platform for the National Games. Interactive displays, real-time data feeds and digital art installations transform each venue into an immersive experience that resonates with young global citizens, entrepreneurs and digital nomads.
From its early days as a special economic zone to its current role on the world stage, Shenzhen’s story is one of rapid growth and transformation. Tonight, as lights dance across the Pearl River Delta, the city proves once again that it truly never sleeps.
