Shekou Industrial Zone
Shekou is an area at the southern tip of Nantou Peninsula in Nanshan, Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, China. It is located south of Nantou and faces Yuen Long, Hong Kong across the Deep Bay.
==History==
It was formerly a customs station in Bao'an County and now belongs to Nanshan District of Shenzhen. On 31 January 1979, it became Shekou Industrial Zone developed solely by China Merchants of Hong Kong, earlier than the formation of Shenzhen Special Economic Zone. The event is chronicalled in the Chinese ballad "The Story of Spring", long song by school children across the nation.
Since the 1980s, after foreign oil majors such as Agip,〔(Agip, Chevron And Texaco Sign Agreement To Study New Tract Offshore China – Pr Newswire – Highbeam Research )〕 Chevron,〔Multinational Monitor: (Chevron, the big oil boys )〕〔People's Daily, 14 June 2001: (More oil found in the South China Sea )〕 Texaco,〔 Statoil〔(Statoil China office contact details )〕 and Shell〔Geotimes, February 2008: (Squabbles over the South China Sea )〕 obtained concessions for oil exploration in the South China Sea, Shekou started serving as a base for a small contingent of foreign oil platform workers, since qualified personnel were not available locally. As a result of this first mover advantage in catering for mainly western tastes in housing, food and drink, entertainment and schooling, at a time when no alternatives were available in the area, Shekou gradually became home to the majority of the expatriate population working in and around Shenzhen and part of its hinterland in the Pearl River Delta. This trend has however abated after 2003, after the country's continued economic reforms. Development of other parts of the city and substantial increase in English levels of university graduates have made life in the city proper more acceptable to many foreigners without school-age children.
In 2003, the local government, seeking to capitalize on the foreign flavor of the town, invested in a complete make-over of Sea World, turning it into a western-style entertainment area centered on the grounded Minghua〔(Sea World )〕 (明华) ship, a 14,000 ton, 168 m long vessel built in 1962 as a French ferry vessel purchased by China in 1973. It is commonly, though incorrectly, referred to by many Shenzhen locals as French president Charles De Gaulle's private yacht. The Minghua is now completely landlocked due to extensive local land reclamation and redevelopment efforts, but remains the epicenter of Shekou's vibrant and sometimes rowdy nightlife scene.
