The experience

What makes Shenzhen worth a full day instead of a quick pass through? The answer depends on what pulls you: if it's the cutting edge, the Tech Focus route takes you inside the world's largest DJI flagship store to test-fly the latest drones, then into a driverless taxi dispatch center, a robot coffee station, and a 3D printing lab. The robot 6S store alone justifies the trip: 26 robot companies operate there, and you'll watch a robot boxing match or a dancer robot perform, then operate robots yourself. Huaqiang North, the world's largest electronics market, rounds it out: five floors of cameras, industrial-level drones, humanoid robots, and the kind of second-hand tech market that doesn't exist anywhere else.

If tech alone feels thin, the Culture+Tech option swaps some of that for Shenzhen's other story. Lianhuashan Hill puts you 108 meters up facing a 6-ton bronze statue of Deng Xiaoping (the man who turned a fishing village into this 5G metropolis) with 360° views of the smart-city skyline. Nantou Ancient City, with roots nearly 1,700 years deep, sits where ancestral temples and ancient walls now share space with design studios and cafés. The half-day Tech Fast Track compresses the essentials into a morning: drone delivery, driverless taxi, AI glasses, exoskeletons, and the DJI store, plus a chance to sit in China's most advanced EV and control it by voice.

Your guide speaks English, Spanish, Portuguese, Mandarin, or Cantonese, and the pickup happens from your hotel or a meeting point you choose. Bottled water travels with you, and the schedule is yours to reshape. If a stop needs more time or you want to skip something, the itinerary bends. The only thing not covered is lunch or dinner. Everything else is built in.

What’s included

• Pickup and drop-off from your hotel or meeting point.
• bottled water throughout the day.
• live guide in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Mandarin or Cantonese.
• access to all stops on your chosen route.
• the ability to reshape the schedule to match your pace.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

In English, Chinese and Cantonese, with 18 departure times. In Spanish and Portuguese, at 09:30, 10:00 and 10:30.

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

What exactly is the robot 6S store, and what do you actually do there?

The world's first robot 6S store is a showroom where 26 robot companies display products for industrial, commercial, medical, and educational use. You'll watch a robot boxing match or dancer robot perform, see a Bumblebee robot transform on command, and operate robots yourself. It's not a museum where you watch from behind glass.

How much time do I spend at Huaqiang North, and what will I find there?

Huaqiang North is the world's largest electronics market, and your guide will take you through it. The exact time depends on your interests and your chosen tour option. You'll see five floors of camera equipment, industrial-level drones with 110-kilogram carrying capacity, humanoid robots, AI glasses, robot dogs, and a building of second-hand tech. Your guide knows where to find what you're looking for.

Can I do the half-day tour and still see the DJI store and test a drone?

Yes. The half-day Tech Fast Track includes the DJI Global Flagship Store, where you can test-fly the latest drones and sit inside China's most advanced EV. It also covers drone delivery, driverless taxi, AI glasses, 3D printing, and exoskeletons. Everything fits into a morning.

What's the view like from Lianhuashan Hill, and is it part of every tour?

Lianhuashan Hill sits in the heart of Shenzhen with a 360° view of the smart-city skyline: drone-light highways, rooftop solar farms, and skyscrapers networked with satellites. It's included only in the full-day Culture+Tech option, which pairs it with Nantou Ancient City instead of the deeper tech stops.

What happens if I want to spend more time at one stop and less at another?

The schedule is open to redesign. Tell your guide what matters most to you, and the itinerary adjusts. You're not locked into a fixed timeline.
