In this video, we take you to the most high-tech things in the fastest growing tech-hub city in the world -Shenzhen!
From drink deliveries via the sky, ghosts driving us in cars, palm payments, to robots serving us food. We even visit the high-tech fair to show you the kind of robots not yet available to buy in the market!
If you've visited before but over a year ago, this city has had THE most dramatic glow up in human history, so you will still find things you haven't seen before!

Answering common questions here:
PALM PAYMENTS
You register your palm's patterns onto apps like Alipay or WeChat, like you register your Face ID onto your phone, and then you can use palm payments. It is not a chip in my hand. And it is not the ONLY method to pay, it's just the newest option to pay.
THE LIGHT SHOW
Is at the Futian Civic Center runs primarily on Fridays and Saturdays only, plus Chinese public holidays, with three shows per night (7:00/8:00/9:00 PM in winter; 7:30/8:30/9:30 PM in summer/autumn)
DRONE DELIVERY
We saw reviews about it taking up to an hour to deliver, but it was only 10-15 mins for us, it could be down to the shop not being busy, or the drone not being busy.
Apparently, drone delivery could lead to a ~80-95% reduction in single-use packaging waste and a ~50-85% reduction in last-mile carbon emissions per delivery for eligible packages compared to traditional home food and drink delivery.
