Discover Shenzhen

Shenzhen is one of the best places to experience China's modern, fast-moving, and future-facing side. The city brings together technology, hardware innovation, skyscrapers, design districts, shopping malls, urban villages, creative spaces, cafes, seaside parks, beaches, mountain trails, and a young urban culture shaped by people who came here to build something new.

A visit can include exploring Futian and Nanshan's modern skyline, walking through OCT Loft or design districts, visiting Huaqiangbei to understand the city's electronics and maker culture, relaxing in Shenzhen Bay Park, hiking Wutong Mountain, visiting mangrove wetlands, or escaping to Dameisha, Xiaomeisha, Xichong, and Dapeng Peninsula for coastal scenery. Shenzhen also works well as a base for nearby Greater Bay Area destinations such as Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Zhuhai, Macau, and Huizhou.
