Nicknamed the spring cocoon (春茧),the Shenzhen Bay Stadium (built for the Universiade) is nearing completion. A group of Shenzhen photographers have taken night shots and, yes, the latest of Shenzhen’s architectural mania is stunning.

An earlier post shows what the area looked like a year ago, contextualized by a coastline shot from 2003.

Also, just noticed the FISU logo. Please tell me that the International University Sports Federation committee doesn’t think that college athletes are only male and come in three colors (white, yellow, and black). Sigh.
