Address: 1st-3rd Floor, NL199, Water Plaza, North District, MixC, Shenzhen. The location is very easy to find, just follow the navigation.
Transportation: I strongly recommend taking the subway, Line 1, Gaoxinyuan Station, Exit A, and walk about 500 meters to arrive. If you drive, please navigate to Mixc World parking lot, but parking may be crowded during holidays.
Ultra-realistic giant installation: a layer of iconic giants is a full floor high, with skin texture, pores, and blood vessels clearly visible. Standing next to it and taking pictures, you will feel shocked, as if you have accidentally entered the kingdom of giants.
Robots with a strong mechanical feel: whether it is a female robot trying to get out from a glass window or a moving bionic device, the mechanical details are perfect and technology fans should not miss it.
Fantasy Insect Kingdom: The insect sculptures on the second and third floors, such as spiders, mantises, scorpions, etc., are full of punk futuristic sense; there are also insect kingdom murals with bold colors, taking you into the mysterious insect world.
Mysterious giant human faces: The "Three Prophets" in the atrium on the third floor have three giant human faces with entangled hair, nodding from time to time, which is mysterious and shocking, with a strong visual impact.
Check-in route-
It is recommended to start from the third floor and visit from top to bottom.
Third floor: First check in at the "Three Prophets", then go to see the giant bison, and then look for the old man reading a book in the corner, which is both literary and film-making; there is also the Insect Kingdom Nest, where various insect installations are super interesting.
Second floor: Take the escalator down to see the super beautiful insect cell mural. The pearl jellyfish and purple spider next to it are also suitable for taking photos, and the atmosphere is full.
First floor: You must take photos of the super popular giant bald giant and the man in black wearing sunglasses. However, there will be many people taking photos, so you may need to queue. You can take turns taking photos with your friends.
4. Tips for taking photos
Dressing: Wear dark or simple and fashionable clothes, such as black, dark blue, white, etc. Wear sunglasses 🕶 to instantly enhance your sense of fashion and take cool photos.
Posture: Interact with the giant, such as looking up at it or reaching out to touch it; use robots or insect devices as backgrounds, strike funny or cool poses, and give full play to your creativity. Time: If you want to avoid the crowds, it is best to go in the morning on weekdays; on weekends, go early and enter when it opens, or in the evening when it is about to close, when there will be fewer people.
