Unfortunately, as of April 2016, the Shenzhen Hacker Camps are no longer happening, but they where a LOT of good Geek fun.  Shenzhen also hosts an official three day long Makers Faire once a year, do a Google search for that one.

See Stephen or Paul from the SW Makers if you want to know more about visiting Shenzhen.

It covers a range of things that people are making, and part three visits a Melbourne Hack space.
