AI Blood Pressure Watches, Air Frame Drums, Bare-Eye 3D Holographic Display Boxes, AI Smart Glasses… On the 25th, a dazzling array of “technology merchandise” was unveiled at the Huaqiang North Center in Shenzhen, turning the “China Electronics First Street” with an average daily traffic of over 750,000 people into an immersive global AI hardware showroom.

On the same day, the Spring Action Consumer Electronics Special Market Promotion Event “Guangdong Market World”, jointly organized by the Guangdong Province Industry and Information Administration and the Shenzhen Municipal People‘s Government, was held in northern Huaqiang. There were 50 boutique booths set up at the venue for live streaming. Huawei, Yingshi Insta360, OPPO, Vivo, Little Genius, Iflytek and other 50 participating companies brought more than 400 consumer electronics premium products such as smart bracelets, smart watches, wireless headphones, AI glasses, and more. The participating companies introduced multiple discounts through state subsidies, platform subsidies, and old-for-new offers. In addition to many domestic tourists visiting and shopping, the venue also attracted more than 800 foreign buyers from Europe, the United States, the Middle East, and other regions to stop for talks.

Currently, cutting-edge technology is rapidly integrating into everyday scenarios such as clothing, home, and education. Shenzhen, with its leading R&D and manufacturing capabilities, has given birth to a large number of technology companies that shine brilliantly in fields such as smartphones, drones, 3D printers, AI translators, smart glasses, and robotics. These hard-core products, full of “technological content,” have also become Shenzhen‘s most representative “domestic specialty products.”
At the Huawei booth, the MateBook Fold extraordinary master folding computer was surrounded by overseas users; the Shadowstone Insta360 panoramic camera was repeatedly tried out by buyers; and the smart glasses of Zengmu Technology were integrated with simultaneous translation, meeting notes, and other features, leading Southeast Asian merchants to negotiate bulk orders on the spot. “The product features fit real needs, and the price also has advantages. We want to talk about cooperation as soon as possible and bring good products back,” said an Indonesian buyer.
Citizen Zhang carried the drone and AI toys in his hands, smiling with emotion: “In the past, bringing specialties was to bring food, now bringing ‘technology experience’. These ‘technology-containing’ Shenzhen ‘specialties’ are the most respectable New Year‘s goods to bring home this year!”

Huaqiangbei‘s charm lies not only in “selling goods”, but also in “creating an ecosystem”. Here, 35 professional markets and 115,000 merchants gather, forming the maximum response speed of “design in the morning, sampling in the afternoon, mass production the next day, and shipping for a week”. On the day of the event, 100,000 new people visited the neighborhood, increasing by 15% year-on-year; online and offline transactions exceeded 2.5 million yuan, and overseas orders poured in. “Here, the samples seen in the morning can be sent to my country in the afternoon,” one Middle Eastern shopper marveled.
Data show that in 2025, China‘s North China delivered more than 3 million packages per day on average, exceeding 1 billion packages throughout the year, of which 40 percent were sold to 183 countries and regions worldwide.
To serve internationalized procurement, the “orange vest” volunteers at the scene shuttled among them with AI translators in hand. Multilingual guidance, 19 currency exchanges, and exit tax refunds were all available. Li Weiming, the head of Jiaok Intelligence, has been rooted in North China for nearly 20 years, and his AI translators have been widely sold in Europe, the United States, the Middle East, and other regions. He said, “The industrial ecosystem of North China is the foundation for our continuous innovation.”

This special venue is not only a promotion, but also a concentrated exhibition of hard-core manufacturing power in the Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao Bay Area. From refrigerators and color TVs that once became popular across the country, to smart images, smart wear, smart appliances, drones, industrial robots and more that are now global bestsellers, Guangdong has always used technological innovation as its engine, driving the industry towards new development and towards intelligence. The World Intellectual Property Organization‘s 2025 Global Innovation Index Top 100 innovation cluster released in September 2025 showed that the “Shenzhen-Hong Kong-Guangzhou” innovation cluster was ranked first globally for the first time.
Data show that in the first 11 months of 2025, Guangdong province‘s mobile phone production reached 585 million units, representing a jump to 46.8% of the country’s share. Meanwhile, the production and export of consumer electronics products such as drones, color television, wireless headphones, and smart watches are ranked among the top in the country.
Huaqiangbei on the 25th is precisely a microcosm and amplifier of this power. “Guanggo” has long ceased to be the former surrogate label, but is the pioneering carrier of “AI+ hardware”. Hu Huawu, deputy director of the Huaqiangbei Street Economic Development Office, said that this event will merge with Huaqiangbei, pushing new products such as AI smart terminals, smart wear, and robots directly into real-world consumption scenarios. By completing displays, experiences, and deals on one street, it will effectively leverage the centralized release of domestic and foreign consumption demand, better helping “Guanggo” to form global influence.
