“In Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, science and technology-focused attractions—such as robot experience centers, science museums, and drone test-flight bases—are gaining popularity among foreign visitors, emerging as a compelling alternative to traditional sightseeing.

The Shenzhen Science and Technology Museum attracts many foreign families, serving as a gateway for them to understand China’s cutting-edge technology. According to the museum’s director, Zheng Yongchun, overseas visitors account for approximately 20% of the total attendance during peak periods.

Beyond the science museum, the world’s first “robot 6S store”—a facility offering sales, parts, service, information feedback, rentals, and custom-made products—in Shenzhen’s Longgang District also draws crowds of foreign tourists daily. Visitors eagerly try on AI-equipped glasses featuring real-time translation and interact with robots, thrilled by the lifelike, immersive experience that feels within arm’s reach.

As Shenzhen’s innovative tech products gain global popularity, industrial and educational tours in China have also become a hit with foreign visitors. International students visit the exhibition hall of a medical device manufacturer in the city’s Guangming District, experiencing firsthand the appeal of “China Smart Manufacturing.”

Driven by these unique cultural tourism resources, the number of travelers passing through immigration checkpoints in Shenzhen has continued to rise this year. Statistics compiled by the Shenzhen General Station of Exit-Entry Frontier Inspection show that, as of July 28, the number of foreign tourists passing through the West Kowloon Station checkpoint had surpassed the one-million mark, an increase of approximately 34% year-on-year.
