Itinerary

Days 1–4 · Hong Kong and Shenzhen
Same as the first four days of Hong Kong & Shenzhen: Tsim Sha Tsui and the Symphony of Lights, Ngong Ping 360 and Victoria Peak, the train to Shenzhen with a day at Shenzhen University, then Lianhuashan Park, OCT-LOFT and Sea World in Shekou.
Day 5 · Huaqiangbei electronics market
The main goal of the trip: Huaqiangbei, a huge multi-storey electronics district. We visit SEG Electronics Market and Huaqiang Electronic World, where you find everything from chips and soldering stations to the latest drones and VR headsets.

Back to the market to finish shopping and test gadgets. In the evening, the light show at Futian Civic Center, where the skyscrapers turn into giant screens (drone shows on selected evenings).

The artists' village where a large share of the world's oil-painting reproductions are made. Watch painters at work in the streets and buy an affordable canvas.
