Shenzhen Civic Center
深圳市民中心
A roof shaped like a 'Great Peng Spreading Its Wings' on Futian's central axis, backed by Lianhuashan and facing the CBD. It is the core spot for watching Shenzhen's city light show.
Shenzhen Civic Center sits at the heart of Futian's central axis. Its huge wave-shaped roof symbolizes the great peng bird spreading its wings. The building houses the municipal government and is an iconic city landmark. The southern Civic Plaza offers an open view directly over the CBD skyline, including Ping An Finance Centre. To the north, the central axis leads on foot up to Lianhuashan. During holidays and major events, dozens of buildings in the central area stage a coordinated city light show, and the plaza is the best viewing spot. The east and west wings of the Civic Center house the Shenzhen Museum's History and Folk Culture Museum and other cultural facilities. Nearby are the Shenzhen Library, a concert hall and the Youth Palace. It is reached directly from Civic Center Station on Metro, and admission is free.
