24 Hours in China's MOST Advanced City...But at what Cost?

About this video

We usually think of places like Tokyo, Dubai and Seoul, as cities of the future. But there’s one city in China that is quietly building that future right now — and somehow, most people in the West barely know about it.

Just a few decades ago, Shenzhen was little more than a small fishing town sitting next to Hong Kong. Today, it has transformed into one of the most advanced cities on Earth — a global tech powerhouse, home to world-leading innovation, futuristic infrastructure, and some of the most cutting-edge technology anywhere in the world.

This is Shenzhen. A city living in the year 2100, a city that doesn’t just talk about the future — it’s already living in it.

This travel vlog takes you through Shenzhen, a true city of the future, highlighting its smart tech and impressive infrastructure. It's incredible drone delivery of food and drinks to parks, hand scan payment, robots and more!

Living in China, it's clear how these future cities are already a reality.
