Shenzhen will host the 33rd APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting this year. In anticipation of this major international event and to showcase the city's dynamism, openness, and inclusiveness to the world, the fifth "Just Shenzhen Just Young" Short Video Contest has recently kicked off under the theme "Snap Shenzhen, Engage with APEC."

　　As the contest's first supporting event, the "Shenzhen International Ambassador" City Exploration and Creation Camp has made its made in Futian, with its first stop at HONOR's Shenzhen global headquarters. 

　　This is not only an in-depth visit to a benchmark in technology, but also a panoramic exploration — through the lens of HONOR — of Xiangmihu Subdistrict's industrial strength and its deeply rooted human warmth.

Why choose HONOR?

　　The choice of HONOR as the camp's first stop is no coincidence. As a leading smart device brand, HONOR's continued innovation in smartphones, AI, and imaging has made it a shining emblem of "Shenzhen smart manufacturing" on the global stage. 

　　At its Shenzhen global headquarters, content creators experienced up close the brand's "1+8+N" all-scenario smart ecosystem, while also witnessing the remarkable speed and quality with which Shenzhen transforms technological innovation from R&D to market.

　　Located in Xiangmihu Subdistrict, HONOR sits at the core of the Xiangmihu New Financial Center, one of Futian District's "three new engines." 

　　The area is home to industry leaders such as China Merchants Bank, Huawei Digital Power, and HONOR, forming a high-end industrial cluster spanning finance, technology, and green development with a total scale exceeding 250 billion yuan. 

　　For Xiangmihu, HONOR is not only a pillar of the local economy, but also a vivid embodiment of the development philosophy of "industry empowers the city."

An international model of livability and opportunity

　　Leaving the HONOR showroom and strolling through Xiangmihu Subdistrict, one quickly realizes that the subdistrict's appeal goes far beyond technology.

　　It is a globally oriented hub of industry. The area has fostered an international ecosystem where capital, technology, and talent converge. 

　　According to official data, Xiangmihu Subdistrict is home to over 800 foreign residents from 64 countries, 143 foreign-funded enterprises, and 357 companies from Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan. 

　　In February this year, the subdistrict's international friendship service center officially went operational, bridging the "last mile" in services for international residents. Beyond its industrial strength, it offers a welcoming and people-centered service platform, bringing to life the city's promise that "once you arrive, you are a Shenzhener."

　　It is also a livable neighborhood rich in everyday charm. 

　　With a green coverage rate exceeding 50%, the area is dotted with parks such as the Shenzhen International Garden and Flower Expo Park, Xiangmi Park, and numerous community parks. Qiaoxiang Community was recognized as a model project for the 2023 China Living Enviroment Award. Meanwhile, the Antuoshan area has undergone a remarkable transformation from a former quarry into an "art oasis." 

　　From Lantern Festival celebrations that bring together Chinese and international residents, to the cultural symphony of the Belt and Road Youth Carnival at the Xiangmuhu Flower Wonderland, a sense of human warmth permeates the subdistrict, presenting to the world the aspect of Shenzhen that combines high-speed development with a deeply human touch.

　　Following the footsteps of this creative tour, we journey from HONOR's cutting-edge innovation to the warm, vibrant life of Xiangmihu. 

　　As Shenzhen prepares to host the 2026 APEC meeting, this area is set to become a key window through which the world observes the city. And the cameras in our hands are the best microphones through which to tell this compelling Shenzhen story.
