Put your hands in the air at Shenzhen’s premier EDM club, with“World’s Top 100”-listed DJs on the decks, a blinding laser array and high-roller supercars parked out front. It’s all about the glitz.

Vinylhouse is a music wonderland next to the east gate of Nantou Old City. The first floor is a relaxing cocktail bar, the second floor a mature jazz bar, and basement one a vinyl store.

​A little way inland from Dameisha Beach, OCT East is a theme-park-meets-resort set in attractive mountainous surrounds.

​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.
