Shenzhen: “slum” Tour with Fruit Bargaining Game
Shenzhen is the symbol of China's reform, the heart of tech innovation, and its youngest megacity. Visitors marvel at:
- Civic Center: The axis of government and financial power, surrounded by skyscrapers.
- Ping An Finance Centre: China's 2nd tallest building, representing economic ambition.
- Houhai: Luxury apartments and high-end malls, home to Shenzhen's new rich.
- Yuehai Street: Highest GDP per square kilometer, hosting Huawei, Tencent, and more.
- Talent Park: Where tech elites meet lakeside serenity.
Yet just one street away lies another Shenzhen—the urban villages.
- Micro-homes: 5㎡ rooms with shared toilets, ¥800/month.
- Low wages: Delivery riders, cleaners, construction workers earn ¥3000-5000/month, with rent taking 1/3.
- Landlord wealth: Locals own dozens of apartments, earning ¥100,000+/month in rent.
- Service gaps: Migrant kids struggle to enter public schools; healthcare access is limited.
Our trip will delve into the urban villages within bustling cities to gain a deeper understanding of the real lives of low-income migrant workers in Shenzhen.
We will provide 20 RMB as a fund for you to challenge yourself with using translation software to bargain with the vendors in the urban village, purchase three special fruits, and engage in deeper communication with them to experience their real daily lives.
This isn’t poverty tourism—it’s a masterclass in the cost of China’s economic miracle.
