There are two theories concerning the origin of the district's name:
- From an inscription dating to the Song dynasty (960–1297) which reads: "Lakes and mountains are blessed with fertile farmlands" (湖山擁福, 田地生輝).
- Written records showing that people from Shangsha Village built houses in Songziling in 1192; their farmlands were cultivated in lattice shapes, which in Chinese is a homophone for "Futian" meaning "blessed fields".
Luohu District was established in April 1979, one month after Shenzhen was promoted to city status. Futian, and another area called Fucheng (附城), became communes within the Luohu District.
Futian became part of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone after it was designated in 1980. It then became a subdistrict under the district of Shangbu (上步).
Futian, along with Nanshan, was promoted to district status in October 1990. The Shangbu district, which had governed the Futian subdistrict the previous decade, became a part of the Futian district. The district government was established on Shennan Middle Road.
Rapid urbanization occurred in the late 20th century; the agricultural land which once made up a vast majority of Luohu had shrunk to an area of only 12.26 km2 (4.73 sq mi) by 2003.[1]
As of 2022, the nominal Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Futian District is 551.45 billion CNY (76.4 billion USD), second in the city behind neighboring Nanshan District. This figure is the third highest of all districts belonging to municipal-level cities in China. The Central Business District (CBD) of Shenzhen is a planned development project that began in the early 1990s. Located within the Futian district, it comprises an area of 607 hectares. The four sides of the district are delineated by Binhe Dadao, Lianhua Road, Xinzhou Road and Caitian Road.
Many office high-rises and government buildings are located in the CBD, some of which are prominent buildings in Shenzhen, such as the Shenzhen City Hall (Civic Center), Shenzhen Library, Shenzhen Concert Hall, Shenzhen Development Bank building and the Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center. Located directly north of the CBD is Lianhuashan Park.
Located in Futian District, Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province, Lotus Hill Park is an urban oasis of natural beauty, cultural heritage and recreation. Covering an area of about 194 hectares, the park was completed in 1997 and consists of several major parts, including a tropical-style lawn area in the south of the park, an artificial lake, Lotus Lake, and forested green areas in the west and north. Lotus Hill Park is not only an important place for citizens to relax and exercise, but also an excellent choice for tourists to explore the natural scenery and cultural heritage of Shenzhen.
There are numerous skyscrapers in the CBD such as the SEG Tower, the Shum Yip Up Hills Twin Towers, China Merchants Bank Tower, the twin towers of East Pacific Center, and the 599 m (1969 ft) Ping An Finance Center, which is the second tallest building in China and the fourth tallest in the world.
Wal-Mart China has its headquarters in Towers 2 and 3 of SZITIC Square[note 1] in Futian District.[2]
The headquarters of OnePlus is in the Tairan Building [note 2] in Chegongmiao [note 3], Futian District.[3]
Everbright International has its Shenzhen Offices in Oriental Xintiandi Plaza[note 4] in Futian District.[4]
The hotel chain Vienna Hotels formerly had its headquarters in Lüjing Garden,[note 5] Futian District.[5]
Ping An Finance Group and China Merchants Bank both placed their corporate headquarters in the Futian District.
