10 Things to Know Before Your Shenzhen Tech Tour

Shenzhen is one of the most exciting cities in the world right now. In just a few decades it grew from a fishing town into a global technology hub — home to DJI, Huawei, BYD, Tencent and thousands of hardware startups.

If you're planning a private high-tech tour, a little preparation goes a long way. Here are the ten things our guests ask about most often.

1. Book early for robot experiences

The Robot 6S Store and the best showrooms fill up quickly, especially on weekends and during trade fairs. We recommend reserving at least a week ahead.

2. Wear comfortable shoes

High-tech tours involve a lot of walking — through electronics markets, robot stores and factory floors. Comfortable shoes are a must.

3. Bring your passport

Some showrooms and factory areas require passport registration for foreign visitors.

4. You don't need to speak Chinese

Your guide handles all the translation and logistics, so you can focus on the experience.

5. Plan for food

From robot restaurants to local dim sum, we can tailor lunch around your interests — just tell us what you like.

6. Consider a driverless taxi ride

Shenzhen is one of the few cities where you can actually hail a driverless taxi. It's a highlight for most visitors.

7. Ask about trade fairs

If your dates overlap with a major exhibition, we can add a visit — no minimum group size.

8. Bring a power bank

You'll be taking a lot of photos and videos. A portable charger is very useful.

9. Leave room in your luggage

Huaqiangbei is full of gadgets you won't find at home.

10. Be curious

The best moments happen when you ask questions. Your guide loves sharing how things are made, shipped and sold.
