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.

I majored in Japanese tour guiding at university, and work as a professional tour guide-fluent in English, Japanese, and Cantonese. Since graduating in 2004, I have worked as an English and Japanese tour guide in Guilin, Shenzhen, Shanghai, and the East China region for 10 years. I also led tours to Thailand during that time.
Later, I switched to translation work, mainly helping foreign companies and individuals who came to China to source clothing, jewelry, electronics, and glasses. These jobs gave me a lot of experience across different industries.
Now I work as both a Pilates instructor and a tour guide. I love exercising—it keeps me full of energy every day. As a tour guide, I really enjoy interacting with foreign friends: showing them beautiful sights, trying delicious food, and sharing China's culture and history. Thanks to my diverse work experience, I can also chat about the changes in China over the years—whether it's the economy, industries, people's lives, or their ways of thinking.
I just love this feeling of connecting with people and sharing things with each other. Exchanging fresh stories with friends from different countries is always interesting and brings a great sense of novelty.
