Gadgets, delivery, and the DJI flagship store
Paul Lee starts his Shenzhen tour in the Mixie Bay area, near technology company headquarters and Spring Bamboo Tower. At Inno 100, he tries a self-moving chessboard, 3D printers, a trifold projector, and handheld drones. He also looks at an AI smart ring and translation glasses that turn his English into Chinese text. A robot barista called Eyeball makes coffee, though Paul finds its conversation slow. He then visits a drone delivery testing point, where a package arrives by air, before heading to the DJI flagship store at OCT Harbor. He sees professional drones for agriculture and firefighting and says DJI products cost nearly half as much in China as in the United States.
Self-driving cars and a night light show
Paul orders a self-driving taxi through WeChat at about half the price of a human-driven cab. The ride feels surreal and a little scary when the car stops abruptly, while the 3D mapping display impresses him. At Huawei's Mixie World branch, he sees electric cars, including the Mstro with a projector, massager, starlight ceiling, and a laying-down mode. He also tries a triple-fold phone and a Matebook that changes from a tablet into a laptop with a keyboard. Walking through Mixie World, Paul compares the spotless, mall-like district to a museum because of its art installations and sculptures. At Joy Center, One Avenue hosts a 15-minute light show after dark. Paul calls the cyberpunk scene striking and ends the tour reflecting on Shenzhen's blend of technology and urban spectacle.
