China's Infrastructure Is On Another Level!!
Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link, Robots and Bao'an Airport in a Day

What does the future actually look like?
In Shenzhen, I spent a day exploring some incredible examples of China’s infrastructure and technology — from the massive Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link, with its artificial islands and underwater tunnel, to humanoid robots and robot dogs that are already being developed for real-world use. I also visited Shenzhen Bao’an International Airport, seeing how people, products and technology connect this huge region to the rest of the world.
After almost eight years living in China, I’m still surprised by how quickly technology moves from science fiction to everyday life.

A day in Shenzhen looking at infrastructure and robots. It starts on an artificial island in the sea on the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link, where cars vanish into a 6.8 km undersea tunnel and the whole 24 km crossing took seven years to build; the trip to Zhongshan now takes around 30 minutes instead of 2 to 3 hours. Next is a robot display where a humanoid robot walks and a robot dog responds to commands, and visitors can control the machines themselves. The creator explains what robot dogs are for: inspections, security, industrial work and dangerous places where you would not send a person, carrying cameras and sensors. The day ends at Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport, where she shows ordinary seating open to anyone and explains how the airport connects the region with the rest of China and the world.

The video opens on an artificial island in the sea on the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link, with the creator amazed that the road disappears into an underwater tunnel while the ocean sits alongside it. She explains the link uses bridges and an undersea tunnel between Shenzhen and Zhongshan, and that after almost eight years in China the scale still stops her. The tunnel is 6.8 km, the whole link is 24 km, and the journey to Zhongshan now takes around 30 minutes instead of 2 to 3 hours; the tunnel and bridge took seven years to build, which she compares with how long other countries would need. The next section is a robot display, where she asks whether a humanoid robot can walk and what robots can actually do for people: help at work, assist elderly people, work in dangerous environments, carry things in hospitals, factories or homes. She notes China keeps trying the next thing and that technologies move from demonstrations into everyday use, listing driverless cars and drone food delivery as things that already feel normal. A robot dog follows, with practical uses such as inspections, security, dangerous environments and industrial work, carrying cameras and sensors where a person should not go. She stresses that visitors can control the robots themselves, which shows their capability better than a screen. The last stop is Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport, described as the connection between the region and the world for people, products and technology; she shows seats that are not VIP areas and says anyone can sit there. She closes by tying the bridge, tunnel, robots and airport together as ways of moving people, goods and technology faster.

A day in Shenzhen: the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link and its 6.8 km undersea tunnel, hands-on robots, and Bao'an International Airport.
Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link, Robots and Bao'an Airport in a Day
0:27 The video is filmed from an artificial island in the middle of the sea on the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link, where the road disappears into the water and cars drive into the undersea tunnel.
1:29 The Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link is 24 km long with a 6.8 km undersea tunnel, and it cuts the trip from Shenzhen to Zhongshan to around 30 minutes instead of the 2 to 3 hours it took before.
1:51 The bridge and tunnel took seven years to build, which the creator says is fast for a project of this size when she compares it with what other countries would need.
2:46 At the robot display you can try the machines yourself: the humanoid robot walks and the robot dog responds quickly, and controlling them shows their ability better than watching a screen.
4:49 Robot dogs are used for inspections, security, industrial work and dangerous environments, carrying cameras and sensors into places where you would not want to send a person.
7:00 At Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport the seats she shows are not VIP areas; anyone can sit in them while waiting for a flight.
6:29 Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport connects Shenzhen with cities all over China and international destinations, moving people, products and technology through it every day.
