OCT Harbour

Shenzhen


You could almost be in California at this palm-lined lifestyle complex set around artificial lakes and fountains, offering upmarket dining, nightlife and shopping. There's plenty here for kids, from a huge Hello Kitty emporium to an IMAX cinema. Fireworks and lasers after nightfall add to the holiday atmosphere.
