Shenzhen Reform and Opening-up Exhibition Hall

深圳改革开放展览馆

Using photographs, artifacts and multimedia, this hall tells the story of more than 40 years of development in Shenzhen's special economic zone. It is a great place to understand the 'Shenzhen Speed'.

The Shenzhen Reform and Opening-up Exhibition Hall is located near the Civic Center in Futian District, around the site of the former Shenzhen Museum. Themed on reform and opening-up, it uses historical photos, documents, scene recreations and interactive multimedia to tell the story of Shenzhen's development since it was established as a special economic zone in 1980. Landmark events include the Shekou Industrial Zone, the International Trade Building, famously built at a pace of one floor every three days, and the first stock subscriptions. Admission is free with a reservation made through the official WeChat account, and the hall is usually closed on Mondays. It suits visitors interested in Shenzhen's urban history. Allow 1 to 1.5 hours, and combine it with the Deng Xiaoping statue on Lianhuashan and the Civic Center.
