The ancient China taste

Welcome to China. Your MSC Cruise will take you to Shenzhen, in the province of Guangdong, not far from Hong Kong. Fifteen million people live and work in this 24-hour city, with its hot, humid summers and mild winters.

There are many places of interest and tourist attractions to explore in Shenzen, starting with an excursion to the OCT Loft Creative Culture Park. Here you can browse the many shops which offer the latest trends in fashion, design and of course art. Try a cold drip coffee at the Gee Coffee Roasters, which is inside the OCT park, or take a look round the OCAT, a former two-storey warehouse that houses temporary exhibits.

An excursion will take you to admire the art at the Dafen oil painting village. Located in the city district, for over twenty years this cluster of houses has been known for the work of thousands of artists specialised in reproducing copies of western works of art, also on commission. For example, if you want a wallet-sized Mona Lisa, you can buy your mini-reproduction
