Located near the Shuiwantou Bay, Design Society is China's first center dedicated to culture and design. Working in collaboration with London's Victoria & Albert Museum, this art center aims to be not only a platform to showcase cutting edge design, but also to foster the thriving design scene in Southern China. The building in itself and its lush roof garden is already worth the trip.
Do & See
If you are looking for some traditional and historical sites, Shenzhen might not be the best destination. But what it does have are a few original theme parks and shopping opportunities - particularly for electronics - that make the city attractive as a travel destination. Shenzhen is large and sprawling while the metro system is simple, efficient and easy to use for access to most of the venues on your tick-off list.
