High Tour @Maker Faire Shenzhen 2017

One more Reason for You to Visit Shenzhen during Maker Faire Shenzhen 2017.

Shenzhen was titled as the Silicon Valley of Hardware by the WIRED UK documentary back in 2016. In this young city lies the world’s greatest electronics market named Huaqiangbei, which is the dreamland for many makers. And here gather thousands of factories, giving you a glimpse of Shenzhen’s fast-speed development.

To help makers from all over the world get a closer look at the manufacturing ecosystem and the industries, Chaihuo Maker Space, together with Seeed Studio, has organized several High Tours to Factories/Huaqiangbei/Maker Spaces in the last few years.

Maker Faire Shenzhen 2017 will take place on November 10-12, which will be a great time for another amazing High Tour. We will have a three-day High Tour this year, taking you around the city to visit maker spaces, incubators, factories, tech companies and the Electronic Market: HQB.
