Paul Lee kicks off his Shenzhen tour at the Mixie Bay area, home to tech giant headquarters and the iconic Spring Bamboo Tower. His first stop is Inno 100, a gadget paradise where he tries a self-moving chess board, 3D printers, a trifold projector, and handheld drones. He then explores an AI smart ring and live-translation glasses that instantly convert his English to Chinese text. A robot barista named Eyeball serves coffee, though its conversation skills are robotic and slow. Next, Paul visits a drone delivery testing point, where packages arrive by autonomous air, then heads to the DJI flagship store at OCT Harbor. He's blown away by professional-grade drones, including agriculture and firefighting models, noting DJI products are nearly half the price in China compared to the US. The tour's highlight is a ride in a self-driving taxi, ordered via WeChat at half the price of a human-driven cab. Paul finds the ride surreal and slightly scary, especially when the car abruptly stops, but he marvels at the intelligent 3D mapping display. At Huawei's Mixie World branch, he discovers they now produce luxury electric cars, like the Mstro with a projector, massager, starlight ceiling, and 'laying down mode.' He tests Huawei's triple-fold phone and the innovative Matebook laptop that transforms from a tablet to a full laptop with a keyboard. Wandering through the pristine, mall-like district, Paul compares it to a museum with art installations and playful sculptures. As night falls, Shenzhen transforms: at Joy Center, the One Avenue street erupts in a 15-minute light show, creating what Paul calls the most cyberpunk visual he's ever seen, concluding that nowhere else in the world looks like this except China.
From robot baristas to self-driving taxis, Paul Lee's Shenzhen tour reveals a city that's already living in the future. This tech tour showcases mind-blowing innovations like AI translation glasses, foldable laptops that defy physics, and the legendary DJI drone headquarters. By night, One Avenue transforms into a breathtaking cyberpunk spectacle.
Paul explores futuristic Shenzhen, trying self-driving taxis, AI gadgets, and robot cafes in a city that feels like tomorrow, today.

You order via the WeChat app and it costs half the price of a human-driven taxi. You unlock the car with your phone, fasten your seatbelt, and the car drives itself.
What was the scariest part of the self-driving taxi ride?
The car abruptly stopped during the ride, which felt like we got hit. I actually trust a human driver more even though statistically humans make more errors.
Are DJI products cheaper in China?
Yes, nearly two times cheaper. For example, a DJI Osmo Pocket 3 standard bundle is around $2,800 yuan in China, while in America it starts at $800.
Can you really take a screenshot with your hands and move it to another device?
Yes, on the Huawei Matebook, you can grab a screenshot with your hands, feel it in your arms, and air drop it to another device. It's incredible.
