The exhibition, which is divided into three zones, aims to tell the story of Shenzhen, highlight the city’s characteristics and showcase Shenzhen brands, the city’s commerce bureau said.

The theme zone introduces Shenzhen’s new technologies and achievements in the fields of scientific and technological innovation, highlighting the development of the city’s key industries and the advantages of leading enterprises.

Videos about Shenzhen’s history, the rise of Shenzhen’s science and technology and Nantou Ancient Town, a distinctive cultural block in Shenzhen, are played in the zone, showing visitors a richer and more dynamic city image of Shenzhen.

In the technology display zone, over 40 high-tech products and popular items including drones, panoramic cameras and intelligent robots exhibited by Shenzhen high-tech enterprises such as DJI and Insta360 have become showstoppers.

The interaction zone takes visitors on a journey to experience traditional Chinese culture empowered by Shenzhen’s tech products and technologies.

The immersive digital art exhibition jointly created by Tencent and the Palace Museum invites guests to experience moving pictures interwoven with light, shadow and the Forbidden City’s red walls.
