About Shenzhen

Forty years ago Shenzhen was a fishing village; today it's a skyline of tech headquarters and one of China's most modern cities. It sits right across the border from Hong Kong, making it a popular add-on for business and sourcing trips.

We arrange Shenzhen legs around electronics-market visits, supplier meetings and factory tours in nearby Dongguan, with the option of a same-day Hong Kong border crossing built into your schedule.
