Hi r/Shenzhen,

I'm the founder of a small robotics startup based here in Shenzhen. For the past two years I've been working on something I genuinely believe fills a gap nobody has properly addressed: the quiet loneliness of living alone in a city apartment, especially when having a pet just isn't an option.

We just hit our first real physical demo, and before we go any further I want to sit with real people — not investors, not advisors — and just watch what happens when they see it for the first time.

The product is called Orbi. It floats. It's round. It lives in your space with you. That's about as much as I want to say before you see it in person.

You're probably the right person if:

- You're a woman between 24–60

- You live alone in Shenzhen

- You've genuinely wanted a pet at some point in your life but couldn't — lease rules, travel schedule, lifestyle, whatever the reason

- You spend long stretches of time at home by yourself

What the session looks like:

- ~60–70 minutes, in person in Shenzhen

- You'll see the prototype and I'll ask you about your life at home — not a sales pitch, mostly me listening

- No right or wrong answers

What you get:

- Cash compensation for your time

- Early access when Orbi launches

If this sounds like you, drop a comment or DM me and I'll reach out to set up a time!

So I had my interview on 5th march, and the status changed to "Interview passed" does that mean I got into SUSTech ? and when decisions are usually released ? I tried emailing them but they don't answer

Looking for a table tennis buddy in Xixiang, Bao’an, Shenzhen 🏓

I’m based in Xixiang, Bao’an, Shenzhen, and I’m looking for someone to play table tennis with regularly. My schedule is pretty flexible — weekday evenings or weekends both work.

Preferably, you:

• live near Xixiang
• enjoy playing table tennis (any level is fine)
• are a native English speaker, so we can also chat in English while playing

I’m mainly looking to stay active, have fun, and improve my spoken English at the same time, so it doesn’t have to be super competitive.

Feel free to message me if you’re interested!

Hello,

I am trying to ship something’s from Shenzhen China to the US. However I’ve never shipped anything to the US before. I know there are some Chinese shipping companies that could be used ( SF Express, YunExpress, 4PX) but I’m not to sure how to do the whole process and which one is the best to use. If you have shipped from Shenzhen to the US before, which shipping company would you recommend and how would the process look like?

Thank you for your advice!

I have two "bored" children that would like to play at a playground. We're staying near the Dongmen area - anything close by? TIA!

Been to Shenzhen a couple of times and Guangzhou once. Besides the food, are there any other things you would recommend? Any particular areas or resorts?

I lived in a desert country before, where I could leave my clothes outside and they would dry in almost 30 minutes.

Here, the air humidity is so high. If I leave them outside, they basically never dry. If I leave them on my balcony and turn on the AC to remove the humidity from the air, they dry overnight, but even then, sometimes they end up stinky because they were wet for too long — especially thicker clothes.

My apartment doesn't have a dryer.

Hi everyone, my London to Shenzhen flight in May was recently cancelled. This was the first leg of a trip to Hanoi, so I’m now worried about missing my connection.

I’ve tried calling the numbers on their website but have been stuck on hold for hours. Has anyone in the UK/Europe successfully reached them to rebook? Does anyone know if they typically offer alternative flights in these cases? Any advice or better contact numbers would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
