History
Before the mass-migration to the Shenzhen SEZ, Baishizhou had been a destination of immigrants and refugees for centuries. Modern narratives of the village's origins often date the earliest settlement at Baishizhou to a Qing Dynasty habitat named Village of the Ten Thousand Families. It is an amalgamation of five existing villages that became one circa 1958 after a collective farm opened. The Shenzhen government bought land around, but not within, the villages and redeveloped it. In 2014 the Shenzhen government announced that it was going to demolish existing developments and redevelop Baishizhou. In 2019 there was another announcement about redeveloping Baishizhou.Culture
