About this experience

What you can expect

Start in Shenzhen Bay and Nanshan, where the city’s technology story is visible in the skyline, public spaces and everyday services around you. Your host will explain how Shenzhen grew from a manufacturing base into a center for internet companies, drones, robotics, smart hardware and new mobility.

Experience future-tech in a practical way rather than only looking at displays. Where local service conditions allow, try a drone-delivery order and explore a Robotaxi experience. Robotaxi access is subject to service availability, operating area and local app or account requirements, so your host will adapt this part if the service is unavailable.

Continue through selected public-facing technology experiences. Depending on current opening conditions, the route can feature drones, robotics, 3D printing, AI devices or other consumer technology. The emphasis is on what visitors can genuinely access rather than promising entry to private corporate headquarters.

Finish with a focused introduction to Huaqiangbei. Instead of repeating the full standalone Huaqiangbei tour, this section shows the essential connection between components, rapid prototyping, electronics markets and the finished technologies you saw earlier in the day. It turns the afternoon into the answer to a bigger question: why can Shenzhen build and iterate hardware so fast?

Make it yours

This is your private Shenzhen experience, so the pace can flex around your group. After booking, tell your host what interests you most - future mobility, drones, robotics, consumer technology, urban development or Shenzhen’s startup story. Small changes to timing and emphasis are welcome when practical, while the core experience stays in place.

Technology demonstrations and public-facing venues can change with local operations, service availability and opening hours. Your host will adapt minor stops when needed while preserving the core theme of the experience.

    See how low-altitude delivery is becoming part of everyday urban life and, where operating conditions allow, place a small delivery order.

  3. Stop 3

    Robotaxi & Future Mobility
