Description

This tour brings you face-to-face with the real Shenzhen—a city where tomorrow’s technology lives on ordinary streets, and vibrant local village culture sits steps from world-class skyscrapers. As your local guide, I’ll take you through both sides of China’s tech capital: iconic cityscapes, authentic urban life, and hands-on futuristic experiences most visitors never find. What you will experience on this tour:

- Take a ride in a fully driverless taxi along Nanshan Houhai waterfront, the economic heart of the Greater Bay Area.

- See drone delivery in real daily operation—a daily reality in only a handful of cities worldwide

- Explore the glass skyscraper skyline of CBD, Shenzhen’s central business district.

- Step into Urban Village: winding alleyways, traditional ancestral halls/temple, and genuine local street food, right next to the business towers

- Enjoy an interactive robot performance when scheduling allows.

- Learn the incredible story of Shenzhen’s transformation from a small fishing town to a global innovation hub.

- Get my personal insider tips for local food, transport, and hidden spots around the city

Includes

  • Shekou Market
  • Shenzhen Talent Park
  • Civic Center

Экскурсия

Я была на экскурсии с Бенджамином. Экскурсия была на английском языке, прекрасном английском языке) Бенджамин рассказал мне про историю города, показал классные места, отвечал на мои вопросы, а в конце помог мне отыскать то место, куда я хотела сходить, хотя экскурсия уже закончилась) Бенджамин, спасибо, что показал мне то, что сумело меня удивить в твоем прекрасном городе и за то, что был очень любезен! Однозначно рекомендую сходить на экскурсию с Бенджамином!

Shenzhen explained in one tour

Great walking tour in Shenzhen with a perfect mix of history and modern technology. Benjamin was knowledgeable, passionate, very kind guy and spoke excellent English. The tour was well-paced, engaging, and gave a great overview of the city. Hi-Tech part was very exciting, as well as visit to the old fish market. Highly recommended!
