48 Hours in China's Futuristic Silicon Valley 🇨🇳

We visit China's most futuristic city, also known as China's Silicon Valley, exploring a city which is leading the world in technology. Shenzhen is a city which was just a small fishing village in the 1970s but has grown into a tech powerhouse of 18 million people in 2025. We use Shenzhen's drone delivery service, we use a driverless taxi's, view a robotics showroom and the incredible lights this city has when night falls!
