‘Voice of Shenzhen’

From cruise ships’ whistles in Shekou Port to birds’ humming in Huanggang Park, from keyboard typing sounds in an office in Shenzhen Hi-tech Park to the sound of sea waves in Dameisha, visitors can now listen to various sounds recorded in Shenzhen at the “Voice of Shenzhen” exhibition.
