OCT Loft
华侨城创意文化园
An old electronics factory turned into galleries, coffee and bookshops.
Low brick buildings, plane trees, independent shops and a lot of people working on laptops make it the closest thing Shenzhen has to a slow afternoon.
It works for a first date or a meeting that is not quite a meeting, and the bookshop at the north end stocks more in English than you would expect.
