Shenzhen is located in the very south of Guangdong Province. Overlooking
Hong Kong to the south and bordering Kowloon, this area is commonly
referred to as Hong Kong's "backyard". Although the population
of the city is about 5 million, only 1.5 million people are legally
registered permanent residents. The remainder are a bizarre mixture
of businessmen, investors and illegal immigrants, all here in an
attempt to get a share in the Special Economic Zone's wealth.
