Shenzhen Folk Culture Village
Come to Shenzhen Folk Village and experience the charm of 24 ethnic groups in one go! Here, you’ll find authentic ethnic villages where you can get up close to their unique architectures. Wonderful song and dance performances take the stage non-stop, and the vibrant ethnic costumes make for perfect photo ops. Taste special cuisines from all groups, put on traditional clothes for a fun cosplay photoshoot, and capture unforgettable moments. Don’t forget to pick up unique local specialties as gifts for friends and family—they’ll love the surprise! The village is huge, so a full day won’t be enough to enjoy everything!
Bamboo weaving And Cloisonné Handcrafting
Bamboo weaving, one of China's oldest crafts, is not only widely used in daily life for its eco-friendliness, but also integrated with furniture art, making it both ornamental and practical. Cloisonné, on the other hand, has evolved from traditional ornaments into daily accessories like earrings and pendants. You can even try making them yourself and take this unique handcrafted work as a travel souvenir.
Art Exhibition Center
Shenzhen Art Exhibition Center gathers a variety of exquisite crafts. In addition to ceramics and bamboo weaving, there are wood carvings, embroidery, lacquerware, lacquer enamel, and more. These items are not only stunning works of art but also make unique furniture decorations. You can admire their extraordinary craftsmanship while considering which one to take home to add a special touch to your house. In the future, every time you see these crafts, the unforgettable memories of your trip to Shenzhen will come flooding back.
Shenzhen Antique City
Shenzhen Antique City is a really interesting and charming place. While most of the items there are replicas, there are also plenty of old objects with a sense of history—like simple and elegant porcelain, jade articles, wood carvings with a mellow patina, as well as old clocks, coins, ancient paintings, and bronze ware. Each one seems to hold a story.
If you're interested in these old things, take your time to look around. You might just come across something that catches your eye, while also soaking in the rich cultural atmosphere.

About Tour Guide Miaomiao W.
I’ve been a licensed English-Japanese tour guide since 2004! I know Shenzhen well—I’ll tell you stories about the "dragon’s sons" on ancient roofs and take you to try high-tech fun like flying cars, drones, humanoid robots, and self-driving taxis, super exciting!
I’m great at shopping too. I know exactly where to go for the best deals: cheap gadgets as gifts, real-looking knockoffs at China’s top high-end clothing market, and 2-carat lab-grown diamonds for just 1,000 RMB. You might even find a business chance you didn’t expect.
Need to visit factories? I can help—show you around, assist with negotiations, or find factories if you don’t have one. After the order is set, I’ll follow up on the progress and help arrange shipping. I’ve ordered clothes, jewelries, frames, lens from factories myself, so I’m super experienced and reliable!
I’m flexible, down-to-earth and easy to get along with. I’ll make a customized itinerary fast, no generic cookie-cutter tours—just breathtaking spots tailored just for your taste. Traveling with me is anything but boring, and you won’t need cold translator apps at all. I’ll share your joys and listen to you vent if things go wrong. Your Shenzhen trip will be totally worth it!

“Amazing introduction to tech in ShenZhen”
We had the privilege of having Miao Miao introduce us to the tech in SZ. Miao Miao is a fantastic guide, she is patient, resourceful and well prepared. The day was curated perfectly according to the interest and energy of our diverse group consisting of adults, senior citizen and a young child. Throughout the day we were engaged with great history of SZ, and the modernisation that leads to today, a perfect complement to the technology we saw in our trip. Miao Miao is quick to pivot and very responsive. Would 100% recommend Miao Miao as a guide and this tour!

Hey Dace & Romans, I’m so thrilled to read your kind words, they made my day! It was such a joy to be your guide in Shenzhen, and I absolutely loved getting to know you both. Your approach to life is something I truly admire and look up to. We’re around the same age, and getting to swap stories about our lives in different countries was such a fun highlight. I still smile thinking about that sunny day: walking in that green, blue-sky park, eating ice cream delivered by a drone—what a perfect moment! Thank you so much for inviting me to Latvia, by the way. Seeing photos of that fairy-tale-town of yours, plus your cozy forest cottage—it sounds like a dream—I absolutely loved imagining it. Chatting with you both felt like catching up with old friends, and I’m already looking forward to your next trip to Shenzhen. Until then, sending you all my best! Miaomiao

“The best guide ever!”
I spent the best three days ever with Miao Miao, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better translator and guide in China. She is incredibly kind, patient, and professional. I have a strong personality and can be quite direct at times, but she always stayed calm, gentle, and understanding. Miao Miao went above and beyond to make sure I was happy and comfortable — she took care of everything with a smile and genuine warmth. It’s very rare to meet someone like her these days someone who truly cares, listens, and gives her best in every moment. I deeply appreciate her help and her heart. She made my trip unforgettable, and I’m truly grateful. ️

Hi Aicha! I’m absolutely delighted to have been your guide in Shenzhen, and those times we shared were truly wonderful. Remember the phone incident at the start? We were quite worried but thankfully got it back—what a scare! You’re such a caring mom, loving wife, and successful businesswoman, and I loved our trips to the jewelry market, clothing wholesale market (where you bought so many lovely things for your kids), and the jewelry factory. Your knowledge of Chinese culture, history, martial arts, and even Chinese dramas is impressive too! Wishing your business grows exponentially, your factory cooperation is smooth, and you achieve great success. Hope you have a fantastic time learning martial arts in Longhu Mountain, Jiangxi. Sincerely grateful for our time together!
