Luohu District: Gateway from Hong Kong

Luohu is where most Hong Kong day-trippers enter Shenzhen. It's the city's oldest urban district — home to the 300-year-old Dongmen shopping street, the 442-meter KK100 tower, and Luohu Commercial City directly attached to the border crossing. Over 4.5 million travelers cross through Luohu Port every month.
