This Border Wall Separates Two Cities In China ()

China's most famous border may not be what you think. Just across the river from Hong Kong, the financial megacenter of Asia, lies Shenzhen. Shenzhen is a completely artificial city -- well, you could argue all cities are, but Shenzhen is a truly special case. It was thought up and planned to be the mainland's response to Hong Kong, and thus the 2 cities' histories are deeply intertwined. But the strange thing is that despite being in the same country, there's a border wall and checkpoint between the two. Come with me as I explore how this affects the life of those living here.. -------- Instagram: sabbatical.tommy Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/sabbaticaltommy #sabbatical #china #borders
