Paul Lee kicks off his Shenzhen tour at the Mixie Bay area, home to tech giant headquarters and the iconic Spring Bamboo Tower. His first stop is Inno 100, a gadget paradise where he tries a self-moving chess board, 3D printers, a trifold projector, and handheld drones. He then explores an AI smart ring and live-translation glasses that instantly convert his English to Chinese text. A robot barista named Eyeball serves coffee, though its conversation skills are robotic and slow. Next, Paul visits a drone delivery testing point, where packages arrive by autonomous air, then heads to the DJI flagship store at OCT Harbor. He's blown away by professional-grade drones, including agriculture and firefighting models, noting DJI products are nearly half the price in China compared to the US. The tour's highlight is a ride in a self-driving taxi, ordered via WeChat at half the price of a human-driven cab. Paul finds the ride surreal and slightly scary, especially when the car abruptly stops, but he marvels at the intelligent 3D mapping display. At Huawei's Mixie World branch, he discovers they now produce luxury electric cars, like the Mstro with a projector, massager, starlight ceiling, and 'laying down mode.' He tests Huawei's triple-fold phone and the innovative Matebook laptop that transforms from a tablet to a full laptop with a keyboard. Wandering through the pristine, mall-like district, Paul compares it to a museum with art installations and playful sculptures. As night falls, Shenzhen transforms: at Joy Center, the One Avenue street erupts in a 15-minute light show, creating what Paul calls the most cyberpunk visual he's ever seen, concluding that nowhere else in the world looks like this except China.
