In a recent feature by CCTV-13, the Yantian Night Market in Shenzhen was spotlighted as a must-visit destination—blending industrial might with laid-back coastal charm.

By day, Yantian Port is a powerhouse of global trade, handling 40,000 containers a day filled with a rich variety of items such as smartphones, electronics, and furniture bound for international markets. But as the sun sets, the area transforms into a vibrant "Shenzhen-style La La Land," where locals and tourists gather for seaside relaxation and gourmet delights.

Young Shenzheners have redefined urban leisure here with a "no-fuss camping" trend—just a foldable chair, a small table, and a string light paired with craft beer or summer cocktails. Against the backdrop of cargo ships and twinkling port lights, the vibe is pure magic.

Foodies flock to the market for its fresh, affordable seafood, with vendors offering everything from live seafood pre-orders to wok-tossed, steamed, or grilled dishes tailored to global tastes.

Yantian’s industrial skyline and the market’s bustling atmosphere capture Shenzhen’s unique spirit—where hardworking ambition and coastal relaxation coexist.

As CCTV put it: "Who wouldn’t call this place ‘unmissable’?" Have you experienced Yantian’s charm yet?
