Shenzhen Bay Super Headquarters Base in Shenzhen revealed its first high-rise building on Friday that will show the latest smart city technologies, including drone delivery and the commercial application of wireless charging.
In 2013, the city officially started the planning of the Headquarters Base and positioned it as a symbol of Shenzhen in the international economy. Located in the city downtown area, it covers a land of 117 hectares and three subway lines.
It will become the center of the new world-class city of Shenzhen, the core engine of the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and a model for cities of a modern socialist country.
