Shenzhen: Robotaxi, dronelevering & tech-insidertur

Da personen taler engelsk, mandarin og kantonesisk, var der ingen sprogproblemer. Vi fik en venlig rundvisning og kunne se os godt omkring. Det er en god idé at fortælle på forhånd, hvad man ønsker, men selv hvis man siger det på stedet, vil de gøre deres bedste for at imødekomme det. Vi fik mulighed for at opleve dronelevering og robot-taxier samt besøge showrooms fra forskellige virksomheder. Hvis du ønsker en prøvetur i en bil, skal du sige det på forhånd. Det ser ud til, at der er specifikke tidspunkter for prøveture. Jeg tog ikke en prøvetur, da jeg hellere ville se andre ting. Især i Huaqiangbei fik vi ikke kun set os omkring, men også en levende fortælling om personens egne erfaringer, hvilket gjorde, at vi lærte meget på kort tid. Tak igen.

Guiden var meget venlig, talte engelsk og tog mange billeder for os! Udover at se droner flyve under turen, bestilte de også te via dronelevering, og vi blev kørt i en selvkørende bil til Xiaomi- og DJI-butikkerne!

Med vores guide fik vi på få timer mulighed for at prøvekøre Pony.ai's førerløse taxa med hele familien, bestille mad online, som blev leveret af droner, og besøge flere førende kinesiske teknologibrandbutikker som DJI, Xiaomi og Huawei. Vi prøvekørte endda Wenjie M9 og oplevede dens næsten L3-selvkørende funktioner. Det var en dybdegående oplevelse af teknologilivet, og vores guide, Ah Jun, var venlig og professionel. En meget givende oplevelse!

This tour is really exciting and let me feel the high-tech side of Shenzhen. Ordering robot taxi or drone delivery by myself is still difficult as a foreign traveler, so using a tour is definitely worth it. I heard that drone deliveries don’t operate every day due to some events, but luckily my guide Nora helped me and I got to see the drone delivery. She’s very friendly, kind, and a great guide. I really appreciate her hospitality.

The guide was very kind and attentive throughout the tour. I am Japanese and do not speak Chinese, and my English is not very fluent either. There were a few moments when communication was difficult, but the guide patiently used a translation app to show me explanations in Japanese, which was very helpful. In the first half, I experienced a robotaxi and drone delivery. In the second half, I was shown around Shenzhen’s electronics district. The guide also asked several times what I wanted to see or experience, so I think they would be flexible if you have specific requests. I came to Shenzhen simply because I wanted to experience a “city of the future,” without a clear plan. Even so, the guide suggested many options and helped me understand the city much better. I would definitely recommend this tour, especially for people interested in Shenzhen’s technology. Japanese travelers who are not confident in English or Chinese should also be able to enjoy it with the help of translation apps.

Had an amazing experience with A Jun as our guide! He is incredibly knowledgeable, very friendly, and super accommodating throughout the whole tour. Everything felt smooth and well-organized because of him. One of the highlights was getting to ride a driverless car — such a cool and futuristic experience! We also saw drone delivery in action and explored various high-tech electric cars and smart appliances. It truly felt like stepping into the future. Highly recommend this tour, especially with A Jun. It made the whole experience even more enjoyable and memorable!

Great half-day tour of high-tech area of Shenzhen. The robotaxi ride was really unique and interesting. My guide was excellent and knowledgeable about Shenzhen and the latest technology. Perfect tour for tourists to access this part of China. Recommended!

Vores turguide Serena er meget venlig og informativ, og vi havde en god tid med hende. Alt i alt er det en god oplevelse at tage denne tur, og stor tak til Serena!

A truly great experience. It was everything I hoped for and more. Jiajun added a lot of historical and cultural context from an insider perspective that I wouldn't have had if I was travelling by myself.

The tour was eye opening and shows just how modern China has taken everyday technology. Much of the innovation in transport, logisitics and consumer electronics are ahead of the West. From what we saw, there are many off-shoot tours that we can do to appreciate Shenzhen. Our guides, Lya and Chris are also excellent contacts. They each guided 3 of us so the tour was deeply engaging. The bonus is they are able to refer business contacts too. The tour and our guides open up more opportunities of trade and deeper appreciation of China.
