Nanhai E-Cool

Just steps away from Shekou Sea World is this retro grid of Shenzhen real estate that was once an industrial park operated by Japanese electronics company Sanyo. Quieter than OCT Loft, it's a great place to wander the treelined lanes, browsing the design shops and comparing stylish cafe hangouts before choosing one to take a rest in.
