Shenzhen, a 26-year-old city, holds strong expectation for hosting the 26th Universiade.Standing tranquilly beside Hong Kong, Shenzhen blossoms like a fra-grant rose in the morning sun. The city is a hu-man miracle and a legendary dream. Wrapped in beauty and surprise, Shenzhen has much for the world to know and appreciate.

    Shenzhen!

    Twenty-six years ago, China began to write her history of reform and opening-up by setting up her first economic special zone here. This 26-year-old city is overflowing with vigor and enthusiasm. It has become the avant-garde of new values and trends of contemporary China.

    Shenzhen is a fertile land for starting careers, the destination of Chinese migrant workers, and a paradise for the young people to fulfill their dreams. In a short span of 26 years, Shenzhen has grown from a border town of 30,000 residents into one of the youngest modern world cities with more than 8 million people.

    Shenzhen holds lasting fascination for tourists, and is a paradise for shopping and entertainment. Situated on the beautiful southern coast of China, Shenzhen boasts blue skies, splendid flowers, and brilliant colors.

    Shenzhen is creating miracles by giving full play to her youthfulness. She wants to tell the world with her youthful and sincere voice that she is officially bidding for hosting the 26th Summer U-niversiade, and is dedicated to presenting to the world an unprecedented Universiade with a youthful smile, bursting passion, top-quality services, well-developed facilities, sound marketing, substan-tial funding and variegated cultural activities.

    Our motto for the bidding campaign is "Shen-zhen embraces the world."

    An open and multicultural Shenzhen integrates a variety of civilizations and is at one with the world; a young and vigorous Shenzhen full of sweet dreams is at one with university students; an enthu-siastic and hospitable Shenzhen has an honest and sincere heart at one with the Universiade.

    It is our expectation that thousands of young people will gather in Shenzhen to cherish this col-orful youth and pursue their dreams. It is our hope that by hosting the 2011 Summer Universiade, we will blaze a new trail in executing the FISU Statutes.

    Youths flying with the wings of dreams can span any distance. Shenzhen will give all partici-pants of the 26th Summer Universiade in 2011 an unforgettable experience and much to remember from this great event.
