Touring The World's Most Futuristic City: Shenzhen China

All right, we are in Shenzhen, China right now, arguably the most futuristic city in the entire world, and today we have a very exciting day. We're going to be showing you the most futuristic tech, gadgets, services, and just showing you this hyper-advanced developed city. So let's go and start this tour. Now we're kicking off this tour right here at the Mixi Bay area. We have the headquarters of massive tech giants, and it's home to the iconic Spring Bamboo Tower, as well as a bunch of tech innovations we're about to explore later. So if you want to see what living in the future looks like, then make sure to check out this tour I booked with Kevin in the description below. Right now we are here at the Shenzhen Bay area, which is the most central part of Shenzhen. As you can see, the Bamboo Tower, and also the stadium, and also we got a park here. What is Shenzhen known for? Shenzhen is known for tech. So our first destination here is Inno100. This store has some of the craziest, high-tech, most futuristic gadgets. Let's go and check it out. So we got some robots here chilling. I guess they're in sleep mode. Over here we have an automatic chess board. This is actually insane. It comes with an app, so we can choose our bots we're going to play with. We have the chess.com bot. We have the stockfish. Let's go and choose stockfish right here. And then we can choose the side of the board. We can choose the difficulty. And then let's go ahead and play the game. So here we have the interface. So let me just, you know, move the first move. And then, as you can see, it just did that automatically. So let's go ahead and see if it'll take one of my pieces. Okay, so as you can see, it took my piece. I will just move my knight. So if I make an illegal move, this is what happens. So I'm going to move the bishop here, which is an illegal move. And it says I can't do that. No matter how many times, it'll tell me I can't. So what I'm going to do is I'm just going to move this piece here. And the queen went back. It's actually insane. The price starts at 5,900 yuan. So over here, we have an assembly line of 3D printers. As you can see, we have all different kinds. I mean, this looks like some sci-fi stuff. We've got this really advanced setup right here. And we've got this really cool looking gadget. This is a speaker, I believe, with the interface of the time and the weather. And over here, you can actually set down your coffee mug. And it'll heat with the, I believe this is induction. Pre-folding projector. This is a tri-fold projector right here, the size of a phone. It's kind of too bright in here. But as you can see, it's projecting on that wall right here. So small. Over here, we have handheld drones. Wait, what is this? Oh, that's cool. You're going to be a DJ now? Let's check out the next store. This looks cool. Go back home. Bye-bye. So over here, we have an AI smart ring. This is called Smart Ring Gen 2 by Ringcon. We have different styles. It looks a lot like the Aura Ring. So as you can see, on the inside, it has some sensors. Over here, we have AI glasses. It seems like it has, it'll input live information. Over here, we have the different functions. Let's try out the live translation feature right now. So as I put these on, I see a dashboard with several buttons. So I'm going to try out the live translation one. So it's right in the middle here. So I'm going to tap it. I can see the Chinese text. And you said, so is the weather good today? I don't know any Chinese, and I was able to get that. That's actually insane. It's instantaneous. It's not like a delay or anything. We are in Shenzhen today. All right, let's try out this electronic guitar. And it'll actually teach you how to play the actual guitar with the app right here. Look at this beautiful electronic keyboard. That's cool. So now we're going to be ordering coffee from this super futuristic robots right here. Never thought I'd be seeing this. We just ordered a coffee with WeChat. Now we're going to wait for our queue. His name is Eyeball. Hey Eyeball, where's my coffee? I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean. Could you please explain it in detail? I said, where's my coffee? I understand. Let's continue our conversation. Great. So what would you like to talk about today? How many minutes until my coffee's ready? I'm not sure how long it will take for your coffee to be ready. It depends on the machine and the type of coffee you ordered. It's very, very slow and robotic. All right, my coffee is ready. I'm just going to grab it. Wow. Thank you, Eyeball. Yeah, this is actually the drone delivery at a testing point of Shenzhen. I see. And right there, it's on, head off, heading out. Yeah, it's on mission. For example, we have McDonald's, KFC. Yes. And then so we just scan it with the WeChat right here. Yes. And then you select your ports. You select your food. And then you put in your address. And then that's it. And it comes back right here. Just like that. Wow. Just like that. And then you put the box. Oh, and then you flatten it. You flatten the packaging. Just like that. Wow. So we're about to head out of this area. This is the Bay Area. And we're going to head to the DJI headquarters. Just taking a last look at the Bay Area. The architecture is just really, really futuristic. Do you see? The car is right there. Yeah. Is this legal? Like they can drive on the sidewalks like this? Yeah, it's legal. But it comes like a very clear spot. Shenzhen is not that type of walking friendly. Yeah, I see. I'm sorry to say that. Yeah, it's so quiet too. So you could just like hit you. You know, you don't even know it's coming. Just be careful when you're walking in Shenzhen. Yeah. All right. So now we are at the OCT Harbor. What is the OCT Harbor known for? Cultural district. And there are many branding store such as DJI. Wow. So this is the DJI flagship store. It looks very brutalist from the architecture. Wow. So this is the DJI Hasselblad. So we have your standard DJI products right here. We got the DJI drone. So look at all this fancy equipment. I don't think I've ever seen this. DJI Inspire. It's really huge drone. I mean, this thing is massive. Wow. It's really, really professional grade. Look at this thing right here. This is the DJI Ronin 4D. I have never seen any of this equipment. And if you thought those drones were big, look at the size of these things. Oh my gosh. So we have all these different kinds of cameras right here. This is the Matrice 4T. It integrates an infrared thermal camera. Wow. Oh, so even firefighters use it. So this is the DJI Dock 2. Oh, look at this one. This can lift up to 30 kilograms. I mean, look at the wing size on this thing. This is my hand for comparison. My gosh. So this is the DJI Flykart 30. This is used for infrastructure, emergency response, tourist attractions, and logistics. Wow. That's actually huge. And then I think we even have a bigger one right here. This is for agriculture right here. Never would have known DJI expanded its products to this kind of different industries. Really, really advanced stuff. So this is a breakdown of all the different components that go into these drones. Goes very, very deep from motors to different legs and different components. So to give you the cost comparison, a DJI Osmo Pocket 3 here, just for the standard bundle, starts at around 2,800 yuan. And then in America, the standard version starts at around 800 US dollars. So it's nearly two times cheaper here. And another cool thing is they also have a robot vacuum. This is called the DJI Romo. You can order this via the WeChat app. And it's actually half the price of a human driving taxi. So it knows to stop right here. Wow, so here we are. So you unlock the car with your phone. And as you can see, there's nobody in here. This is actually crazy. So as you can see, nobody can move the steering wheel. As soon as we close the door and fasten our seatbelts, then it'll start. Okay, so I just put the seatbelts on. And then we have to agree with this statement right here. And then we click start ride. Oh my gosh, it's actually crazy. This is crazy. It's driving fast. Oh my gosh, it's actually kind of scary. Wow, it knows to slow down and take the right. It knows to turn on the turn signals. Oh my gosh. What the heck? How do you feel? Scared. So the only options here are to pull over. And we can also call assistance. Oh, I just pushed that button. What is that? It means like we need help. But never mind. Okay, so here's the menu button. And then we can turn on the music. We can have a trip view. We can adjust our seats, adjust the aircon. Might as well turn on some music. Wow, and then we just enjoy the ride. This is Shenzhen, China. So far, it's been a very interesting, very, very surreal kind of experience. I think the highlights of Shenzhen so far are the architecture, is the innovation. And it's the willingness to try new things out. They have self-driving cars in America. Actually, they've had it for a while. But I think it's the combination of this and all the different kind of things they offer that make it really feel like a tech city. Stay tuned until the rest of this video as at night, this whole city turns into a cyberpunk. You're not going to want to miss it. And as you can see, the live mapping grid seems to be pretty intelligent. You know, very, very 3D, very bird's eye view of other cars and kind of the roads and the traffic. And it's driving right now at 60 kilometers an hour. Oh, as you can see, it's signaling that it's going to turn right and then it goes right. Actually, we just had an incident right now where the car just abruptly stopped. It felt like we got hit, but it just like, it was just going and then it was like. Honestly, I actually trust a human driver, even though statistically humans more likely to make an error. All right, so we have arrived. It just parked on the street here. Let's get out of here. Glad we made it out safely. And there we go. Wasn't too bad. If you actually look at the taxi itself here, you can see it has a couple cameras right there. And that has another one like right there. And it has a couple more in the front right here. Look at it just take off. Bye bye. All right, so we have made it to the Mixi World branch. So let me guys show you Huawei. And this was the company that was actually kind of banned in America. Not particularly banned from being owned in America, but in terms of companies doing business with Huawei, it's not just a phone company. They actually have and produce cars. This literally looks like a Tesla. And it actually looks very, very sleek. They got the fully electric vehicles right here. And they have this like Bentley looking one right here. I mean, it looks so very, very luxurious actually. I mean, that looks super luxurious. Look at the handles on that thing. I mean, it looks so, so sleek. Look at the little galaxy right here. RMB. The starting price for this is 800,000 yuan. Check out these handles. Actually crazy. All right, so this is how you open the door. So you just stick out your hand and clutch it and then pull. That's incredible. And then can I close it? Or like, is there any close function? So it doesn't work like that. But this is the Maestro. Wow. Quality feels very sturdy. It doesn't feel like fake plasticky. So we have three monitors right here. And then we can charge your phone right here. I'm not really sure what this is. So we can select the different functions right here. Let's check this out. So we can have some storage right here. And then interestingly, we don't actually have a view. So I'm assuming you could probably take this down. But you can have privacy in the back seats. Man, that is crazy. The attention to detail is really, really nice too. We got a speaker right here. We have the suede material. A really big mirror with the LEDs. We have a camera. That's nice. Yeah, just look at the build. Really, really nice quality. Just the little details like this. You can even adjust your seat like this. With this kind of controls right here. Wow. It's really, really, really luxurious. The back view of the Maestro. And just look how like that shines. All right, let me give you a tour of the back seats. As you can see, we have a movie theater back here with this huge screen. This is actually a projector. As you can see, we have a projector back there. And at the ceiling, we have this kind of galaxy similar to that of the Rolls Royce. And we actually have a massager. This thing is actually massaging my back right now. Wow, so we even have a laying down mode right here. Wow, this is true, true. Okay, sure. So we're going to close the door here. And then we can control everything here. On this kind of iPhone looking touchpad, we can play the music. Oh wow, and we can turn off the tint. Wow. So as you can see, we can lift it up. Okay, let's see what else they have at the hallway here. So we have earbuds. We have glasses. I don't think these are just normal glasses. They probably have some... So I believe they have some speakers to it or something. All right, so I'm trying to figure out how these smart glasses work. This is a connect to your bluetooth speaker. It's like an earphone that you can listen to the music or maybe you can ask like a system, voice assistant. Wow, and the speaker quality is actually really good. And then of course, we have all of the standard phones right here. I mean, it looks so unique. Now let's take a look at some of these. So this is the double fold phone right here. As you can see, it's not that thick. You just split the screen just like that. Wow, so it's got three screens. So it's got two screens right here and then the other screen right here. But this one is especially crazy. This is the triple fold phone right here. Actually crazy. Look how much real estate that is. So we can flip it like this. Boom, just like that. It's actually not that big, not that chunky. Wow, okay. But I think this is probably the craziest device product they have here. This is the Matebook. So as you can see, we have this huge screen of real estate, right? And then I could fold the screen and then I still have two screens, right? But if I do this, do this little tapping motion, then all of a sudden it becomes a laptop, right? And then if I buy this keyboard, I can use this as the actual keyboard right here. So I can use this entire screen. And then if I want to take it on the go, just close it. It's actually pretty small. Like it's actually very, very portable. It's fully touchscreen. Wow, that's crazy. So I'm going to take a screenshot of this photo right here with my hands. Grab it in here, feel it in my arms and then move over here and then airdrop it right there. Boom. How insane is that? Like, how does that even work? How did it, how does that even work? That's like, think about that for a second. How does that even work? Now this area is actually insane. Everything is completely pristine, the incredible architecture, the luxury flagship stores, spotless streets. This feels like a completely different tier of living and modernity. We have a cost over here. We have an Arc'teryx over there. Just a really, really nice vibe. Very walkable, very outdoor, very pet friendly. We have an Arc'teryx over here. And then we have a Lululemon. And then over here, we actually have an indoor area of the mall. But here is the main highlight, the main interest. This is the Haas Nowhere building. This is like four or five floors, I think. And this is known to the famous Gentle Monster brand, as well as their brother or sister brands, such as Tamburins. But yeah, just take a look at this area. This whole place feels like a museum in terms of the sculptures they have, the different structures, the art exhibitions they have. And just take a look at our surroundings. There's a very playful elephant over here. Just very, very nice. Absolutely stunning. All right, guys, it is 7 p.m. and this is when Shenzhen truly turns alive. Check this out. We are at Joy Center right now. And isn't this the most cyberpunk visual you've probably ever seen? This is the famous street. This is called One Avenue. And this was very, very popularized on social media. But as you can see, at 7 p.m. is when all these buildings turn on these light shows. And I think it lasts for around 15 minutes or so. It's just absolutely incredible to see in real life. I mean, it's insane. Nowhere else in the world looks like this except for China. So, guys, I think this is a good point at which to end the video.
