Shenzhen Miracle: History and Innovation

This route brings together three eras of Shenzhen: its humble past, dynamic present, and bold future. I deliberately included in it seemingly incompatible locations to show all the facets of the metropolis. You will see both the Old City and the places where tomorrow’s technology is born. And at the end of the day, you'll see how the fishing village has become a symbol of progress.

You will see.

• Shenzhen Bay Park: a start with a view of the water and the first acquaintance with the “green” appearance of the metropolis
• Technology in action: drone delivery demonstration and driverless taxi ride
• Nantou Old Town: A Journey to the Historic Heart of the City among Ancient Streets and Buildings
• Exhibition Hall of Innovation (DJI/Huawei/Xiaomi): introduction to gadgets and solutions that change the world
• Lotus Mountain Park: panoramic view of the city from its best observation deck
• The Tallest Building: A Symbol of Modern Shenzhen and Its Financial Power
• Electronics market Huaqiangbei: the epicenter of technological life, where you can find unique gadgets
