Shenzhen is often called China's Silicon Valley, but beyond the technology lies a city of surreal architecture, futuristic public spaces, and urban landscapes straight out of a cyberpunk film.
Just a few decades ago, this was a small fishing village. Today, it's one of the most innovative cities on Earth — and on this guided walk, you'll uncover the side of it most visitors never see.
4-Hour Short Tour. 7 Activities:
1️⃣Abandoned Plant-filled Building
This area was once a major industrial zone in Shenzhen, home to many low-income factory workers and the worst pollution in the city. Over the years, nature has taken over the abandoned site, turning it into a green space where locals now come to relax and enjoy their free time.
