Shenzhen also didn't seem like it changed much - it had also mostly been finished several years ago, though there are a couple of new subway lines (with a nice underground tunnel connecting the Huawei campus to the subway), and more effort has been made in the various parks and forests to expand footpaths and cycling paths. Shenzhen had even more electric cars than Beijing with so many subsidies from different layers of government, difficulties getting number plates for non-electric cars and Shenzhen being the hometown of BYD, one of the world's top EV makers.
The Huawei campus has changed... a few buildings that were being built last time i was here 7 years ago were of course finished whilst other buildings had been completed knocked down and re-built. Next to our old apartment there are some new pedestrian bridges, an underpass and tighter security gates.
The slightly crazy R&D campus in Dongguan has expanded to be about double the size of before (it is full of different zones that are built in the style of various european cities) with the train line expanding accordingly (to connect the various zones; a round trip apparently takes half an hour). Another campus next door of similar style has also been built. It really is bizarre but a very nice, incredible green, working environment.
We went to visit several of Huawei's exhibition centers when we were there and toured the factory. Last time i saw the smartphone manufacturing line, this time it was part of the mobile base station equipment, and almost entirely automated, with AGVs delivering parts and taking finished products whilst cameras are checking quality throughout the process. Very impressive, as to be expected.
Huawei's service is exceptional - whether in the cafes, the exhibition centers, the minibuses, the hotels, the restaurants or anywhere else. It is a great way to impress people!
