As you can see from the image Shenzhen, which is a SEZ [special economic zone] has grown right up to the edge of Hong Kong's SAR [special administrative region]. The image shows some rice fields on the Hong Kong side, and the small river of water which separates Shenzhen's further growth. There is current talk about the eventual amalgamation of the two cities into a superCity which would have a population of around 25 million residents.

That is insane. I had no idea they were so close. 25 million residents is incomprehensible to me.
Really nice photos, Zach. You should send me a zip file with some high res images, so I can have them as desktop backgrounds without being fuzzified.
I conqur with evan, that is insane. and unitl I had the fortune to visit brazil the idea of twenty five / thirty million was outta this world. a mind expanding reality for sure.
