Baishizhou (Chinese: 白石洲; pinyin: Báishízhōu; Jyutping: baak6 sek6 zau1) is an area of Nanshan District, Shenzhen, Guangdong, China. As of 2016[update] about 150,000 people live in Baishizhou.[1] With an area of 0.23 square miles (0.60 km2), it has the most inhabitants, as well as the highest building and population density, of any urban village within Shenzhen. Accounting for unregistered and undocumented residents, some estimates of Baishizhou's rental population are well above two hundred thousand. [2]
In 2014 Charlie Lanyon of The South China Morning Post described it as "one of the last vestiges of old Shenzhen".[3]
