Traveler reviews
Jonathan Chiang
★★★★★a year agoA beautiful recreational space with many restaurants, kid-friendly entertainment venues, and showrooms from Xiaomi, Honor, and DJI. Perfect for families to spend a weekend.
Kevin Lee
★★★★★8 years agoOCT Harbor is a great place to hang out. Lots of food options (Italian, Thai, Korean, Japanese, and more). Good mall with a grocery store (Ole). Lots of little paths to walk on, bridges to cross, lights at night, and DJI flagship store as well. At Shenzhen Bay Park metro station, use exit E and it will take you right out to the entrance. Quite busy at night, but the lights and live music make the crowds worth it.
