Chiwan Ancient Battery
Chiwan Left Battery was built about 350 years ago. Back then, there were two batteries—left and right—but now only the left one remains intact. It was a major coastal defense during the Opium Wars. They even used it to beat back British troops. It’s a real, tangible reminder of China’s fight against foreign invasions back in those days
China Merchants Museum
This place tells the story of how Shenzhen grew—from a tiny fishing village to the huge city it is now. A big part of that? The China Merchants Group. They started way back, even around the Opium Wars period, and played a huge role in developing ports, trade, and later, places like Nanshan District. You’ll see how they turned small docks into busy hubs, which really kicked off Shenzhen’s growth.
Nantou Ancient City & Bamboo Weaving
Nantou’s been around for 1,700 years—crazy, right? A long time ago, it was a key town for governing the area, like a local administrative center. Now, it’s got old streets, traditional buildings, and cute shops, but you can still feel its history.
For the bamboo weaving: It’s an ancient craft in China—over 6,000 years old! People used bamboo to make all sorts of things: baskets, mats, even containers for food. These days, we still use bamboo products (like baskets for shopping), but it’s also a fun craft to try. You’ll make something small, like a little basket or coaster, and you can take it home as a souvenir.
Hakka Cuisine
Hakka people are called “Hakka” because their ancestors moved here from central China hundreds of years ago (like over 1,000 years back, in some cases) to escape wars or find better land. Their food’s all about hearty, home-style flavors. Try dishes like stuffed tofu (tofu filled with meat), braised pork belly, or salt-baked chicken—simple, tasty, and filling.
Kung Fu Experience
Kung Fu’s been around in China for over 1,500 years—super old! The most famous style is probably Shaolin Kung Fu, from the Shaolin Temple. You’ll learn some basic moves—like stances, punches, or simple sequences. It’s not just about fighting; it’s about balance and focus. Even if you’re new, it’s fun to give it a try!
Huaqiang North Electroncis Wholesale Market
This is Shenzhen’s big electronics market—like a one-stop shop for all things tech. You’ll find phones, laptops, drones, translation glasses, phone parts… basically, any gadget you can think of. It’s busy, loud, and full of the latest tech. Great to wander around and check out cool stuff.

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 2000+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!

“High-Tech Tour with Robotics in the 6S Store, Kickstarter, Electronic Market, BEV at Huawei and Xiaomi, Drone Delivery in the Park, driverless Taxi, delicious Lunch in sophisticated Restaurant, upper class Transfers”
Miaomiao led us on a fascinating, insightful and very entertaining tour into the High-Tech World in Shenzhen. She knows the right places, knows them and the people well and brings you there smoothly. We saw, experienced and learned a lot and Miaomiao gave us much additional information based on what we were interested in. The restaurant for lunch was well selected and the chicken one of the best I had on our trip. We finished the tour after 6 PM in the lively Sea World Area overwhelmed with impressions and good discussion. Miaomiao is definitely a Guide that we can strongly recommend and I am happy that whenever I have a question related to (Tech in) Shenzhen I can contact her. Many thanks again et à la prochaine!
