Shenzhen Tech Destinations

Shenzhen's tech experiences span five districts. Nanshan is the innovation hub (robotaxis, drones, Chinese EVs, and robotics). Futian has Huaqiangbei and robot restaurants. Luohu is the gateway from Hong Kong. Longhua houses Huawei's campus. Bao'an has the airport and Qianhai. Most visitors combine Nanshan + Futian in a full-day tour.

Nanshan

Nanshan

Shenzhen's Silicon Valley

Nanshan is where Shenzhen's tech future is built. Home to Pony.ai robotaxis, Meituan drone delivery, Chinese EV displays, Tencent headquarters, and Unitree humanoid robots around Talent Park and Houhai CBD. This is one of the best neighborhoods in the world for a tech-focused day out.

Luohu

Luohu

Gateway from Hong Kong

Luohu is where most Hong Kong day-trippers enter Shenzhen. It's the city's oldest urban district — home to the 300-year-old Dongmen shopping street, the 442-meter KK100 tower, and Luohu Commercial City directly attached to the border crossing. Over 4.5 million travelers cross through Luohu Port every month.

Longhua

Longhua

Where Tech Gets Built

Longhua is Shenzhen's manufacturing and R&D backbone. This is where Huawei designed 5G, where Foxconn assembles millions of devices, and where the Guanlan Print Village preserves Hakka heritage amid high-tech industry. Less touristy than Nanshan, but essential for understanding how Shenzhen's tech ecosystem actually works at scale.
