The Science & Technology Park (科技园) — around Hi-Tech Park and Keyuan stations — is where Shenzhen's tech giants and thousands of startups work. It's the city's densest cluster of engineers and founders.
Evenings here mean industry salons and product talks, a long-running English Toastmasters club on Thursdays and pickleball after work. Weekends are quiet — this is a weekday neighbourhood.
