Abstract：The“13th Five-Year”plan of higher education in Shenzhen proposed to push for an international, open and innovative higher education system with Shenzhen characteristics, making Shenzhen an important center of higher education in southern China. In recent years, Shenzhen has made great efforts to develop higher education, work on its own weaknesses in this regard, and actively promote higher education in three ways: promoting innovation in local colleges and universities, introducing prestigious universities from home and abroad to Shenzhen, and running schools in collaboration with famous Chinese and foreign universities. However, many problems still restrict the development of higher education in Shenzhen such as its small scale, relatively low level of personnel training, inadequate integration of higher education and the city, lagging legal system construction, and the restriction of conventional institutions. The key to tackling these problems lies in legislation: establish “higher education special zone” through exploration and define the nature of legislation; carry out positive cooperation and define the relationship among major legislators; promote closer cooperation between schools and enterprises and further integration of higher education and the city so as to resolve problems in higher education in Shenzhen, and therefore break down the barriers in the reform of China's higher education and make a good attempt to build a modern university system and improve the governance system in China's higher education.
