深圳南山科技園出差記|A Business Trip to ShenZhen Nanshan science and Technology Park
昨天去深圳的南山科技園出差了，雖然說不是第一次去深圳出差或是玩，但卻是第一次以工作的形式去國內的科技園。說真的，我一直都以為科技園這些東西都是些遠離民居，鳥不生蛋的地方，但今次真的讓我有點驚喜。
Yesterday I visit the Nanshan science and Technology Park in ShenZhen for a business purpose. This is not the first time for my business trip or travel in ShenZhen, but this is the first time I visit there for a business purpose. I always think that science park should be something very far from where people live and the city. But I got some surprise this time.
為什麼我對科學園的感覺是偏僻、荒蕪呢?這要說起香港的大埔科學園，因為它根本就是個鳥不生蛋的地方...我幾年前去過一次，而且是由沙田踏單車去的，它根本就是個郊野公園的感覺。附近本沒有什麼食店，只有一個收費很貴的美食廣場，連便利店也好像只有一間。而香港另一個被稱為科技園區的地方 – 數碼港也是一樣，那裏什至連一間便利點都沒有，頂多會見到老外在那裏悠閒的放狗而已。所以，以深圳這個比香港要大上許多的城市，它的科技園不是肯定要更遠離民居嗎?
So, why I always think that science park is a desert place? It have to start from the Hong Kong Science Park in Taipo, because it is really a desert place. I only visited there few years ago, and by bicycle. There was actually a place like national park. There have no much restaurant, only a canteen which charges you an expensive price. And as I remember there was on only 7-11, And for another so called “high tech” theme area Cyber Port, there was even no a single 7-11 there. What you can see is just some people walking with their dog. So, for ShenZhen, a city even bigger than Hong Kong, its science park must be even must more far away from the city and must be more desert.
我是經過褔田口岸去的，事前我完全沒有做過準備，不知道它離口岸多遠，不知道它的確實位置。我想反正都一定是很遠的地方，所以我準備了五百塊錢用來當的士費用(反正都是可以報銷的)。的士一路走著，我可一路擔心著。我一直也想它應該會帶我去人煙稀少的地方，或是上山，或是下海啊。但怎麼我看到的高樓好像越來越多了? 司機該不會把我賣了吧…五百塊錢的車費會不會不夠? 但最後，我發覺這一程的士只花費了我55塊(已經包括了高速路費)。
I have no any plan and have not performed any research before the trip, I actually have no idea where is the location. I just believe that it must be a place far away from city or even human. So, I prepared 500 RMB as the taxi fee. But when I just took the taxi, I am kind or worrying. As I expected that the car will go to somewhere like mountain or desert. But it just so wired that I s¬¬ee more and more building on the ride, and I start to think that would the taxi drive cheat on me? Will 500 RMB not enough for the fee? But finally, it only charge me 55 RMB for the ride, which was even included the high way fee.
下車後我覺得有點迷失了，我本來是打算會在一個什麼都沒有的地方下車的，但一下車竟然還讓我看到了花店(店員還挺美的說，要不是要趕著工作的話還真想買一束花啊)。基本上，整個科學園就是在市區裏面，旁邊的食店、用品店一切都有，一點都不荒蕪。而且行人也很多，好讓不懂路的我可以問一問。我第一件問的就是這附近有沒有科學園嗎?熱心的路人指著旁邊的建築群說這裏就是啊。這下我才真的相信了。
And I even have a bit lost when I got off the car. As I thought that I should be off in a place like desert, but found out that I even see a flower shop when I first step down from the car. Actually, the science park is just inside the city area. There was restaurant, a lot of shop around there. And it also got so many people walk around. So, I picked on to ask are there any science park or office around there? And he just pointed to the building next to us, and I only believed it at that time.
園區裏面就沒什麼特別的好說，都是普通的建築，可以說是實而不華吧。而最主要的就是指示不太清楚，我一直在找一幅園區的地圖，或是一些指示牌，可就是一直找不到。最後也都只有問路人才去到目的地。你看一看，從辦公室往外看就可以看到民居，上班可真是可以方便得要緊啊。
There are nothing so special in the park, building is not so grant, but I think it is fair enough. What I think should be improved is it should have more notice board. As I tried to find the map or notice board to show me the building I show found, but I just cannot find one. And you can see the below picture, I can even see some houses from the windows of my office.
而最後另一個讓我感動的地方是我的同事跟我說我下班回香港可以試著坐地鐵，最後我走了大概10分鐘左右就到了地鐵站。讀者們可能不太明白我在感動個屁，但對於一個曾在數碼港上班一年多的人來說，下班可以坐地鐵是一件多麼奢侈的事啊。我從前要先等15分鐘的小巴，再坐15分鐘，才能到地鐵站啊。
Another surprised for me is that my colleague told me I can take the MRT to get back home. I finally worked about 10 minute and arrived the MRT station. Maybe you don’t understand what I am surprising for. You have to know, for me who have worked about 1 year in Cyber Port, I have to wait 15 minutes to get on the bus, and take another 15 minutes bus to arrive the MRT station.
好了，我說了這麼多廢話，到底想要說什麼呢? 我想說的是，誰說科學園/ 科技園一定要起在遠處的啊。只要政府有心不把它變成地產項目，其實它是可以出現在市區中的啊…但看一看香港下一個科學園的項目，它是打算要起在河套區啊…河套區在哪裏?就是在深圳河旁邊啊。這好了，在那裏上班的人可真的可以離開香港，住在深圳啦!
So, after all, what I would really like to talk about? I wanna say, who said that science park / technology park have to be located in those desert area? It the government do have to hear to not letting it become a property project, it can actually built in the city area…but look the next science park project in Hong Kong, it is ***…where is it? It is juts next to the ShenZhen river. Well that would be interesting. For those who really work in there ther could really move to ShenZhen and say goodbye to Hong Kong.
