Shenzhen DOOH · Futian CBD · Nanshan · Shennan Avenue · June 2026
A young megacity of nearly 18 million next to Hong Kong, from the Futian financial towers to the Nanshan tech belt to the OCT waterfront, bookable by the hour, priced per play, matched to how Shenzhen actually moves.
Shenzhen billboard and DOOH (digital out-of-home) costs span from a few cents per play on urban panels to premium Futian CBD, OCT and landmark networks. On Blindspot, Shenzhen screens are booked by the hour and priced per play, entry plays start around $0.40, with no contracts or minimums.
The smart Shenzhen play isn't one screen for a month. It's the right screens at the right hours: the arteries at commute peak, the malls through the afternoon, the nightlife and tourist cores after dark.
Billboard ranking points
Directional 1–10 scores based on zone type and footfall, not audited measurements. Every zone is bookable by the hour on the platform.
The financial core around the Civic Center and the 599-metre Ping An Finance Centre packs the tallest towers and the daytime office crowd.
The western tech district around the Hi-Tech Park and the headquarters towers carries the campus commute for the city's biggest firms.
The arterial spine running east to west carries the metro's heaviest commute past the gantry and tower-face screens.
The Overseas Chinese Town leisure district and the OCT Harbour LED faces draw a dining, theme-park and evening crowd.
The old commercial core around the Dongmen pedestrian street and the Luohu border crossing carries heavy shopping and cross-border traffic.
The western Bao'an district and the airport expressway carry commuters and arriving travellers into the city.
The media estate · operator partners

Formats
From a highway bulletin to a single mall screen, Blindspot puts Shenzhen's digital out-of-home and classic OOH formats on one map, each priced per play and bookable by the hour. The formats that matter here:
Large-format LED on highways, bridges and boulevards, motion, dayparting and dynamic triggers.
Pedestrian-scale panels and citylights in high-footfall retail and downtown corridors.
Highway and arterial bulletins built for commuter frequency on the busiest routes.
High-intent shoppers from midday to evening across the city's retail destinations.
Shenzhen Metro and bus-shelter screens plus stations and place-based screens with captive dwell.
Landmark and spectacular placements for brand statements in the city's signature locations.
Location insights
Shenzhen runs on the tech clock and one of the world's busiest metros. Mornings load Shennan Avenue toward the Futian financial towers and the Nanshan campuses; lunch and evenings fill the Dongmen pedestrian street and the COCO Park dining blocks; nights light up the Ping An Finance Centre and the OCT Harbour LED faces. The metro carries millions of riders a day, and trade-show weeks at the convention centre lift footfall. Buy the Shennan Avenue commute and the Futian office peak, lean on the Nanshan tech crowd.
Nanshan tech belt and the main arteries surge 7:30–10 AM and 5–8 PM. Book exactly those hours and your frequency climbs for the same budget.
OCT and the city's malls hold heavy footfall from noon to evening, long windows where dwell and shopping intent, not rush, do the work.
Futian CBD shifts from daytime to social and tourism after dark. Different audience, same screens, swap the creative, not the location.
Location intelligence summary
Shenzhen doesn't have one rush hour; it has rotating audiences sharing the same streets. The only buying model that matches that is hourly: pay for the windows when your audience owns the city, skip the ones when it doesn't.
| Objective | Book these zones | Best hours |
|---|---|---|
| Brand launch | Futian CBD + Nanshan tech belt | 6–11 PM |
| Commuter frequency | Shennan Avenue corridor, Nanshan tech belt | 7:30–10 AM · 5–8 PM |
| Retail foot traffic | OCT, Futian CBD | 12–8 PM |
| B2B / decision-makers | Luohu, Nanshan tech belt | Weekdays 9 AM–6 PM |
| Tourism & events | Futian CBD, Bao’an | 10 AM–8 PM |
A month-long 24/7 rotation pays for 3 AM plays nobody sees. Hourly booking concentrates the same budget into Shenzhen’s proven peak windows, and typically saves 30%+ versus a flat four-week flight.
Morning commuters read in 2 seconds; evening crowds dwell for minutes. Run different creative by hour on the same screens, even trigger swaps on weather or live data.
Every play is logged. Blindspot campaigns report verified plays and attribution, measured against control groups, not estimated reach.
The zones above already draw a specific buyer: tech companies headquartered along the Nanshan tech belt, home to Tencent and DJI (see DOOH for SaaS), and gold and jewelry traders centered on Luohu, whose Shuibei market handles about half of China's wholesale jewelry trade.

Pricing · updated June 2026
Per-play prices, not CPM mysteries. Live per-screen pricing and real-time availability are on every card in the platform; the ranges below reflect typical Blindspot pricing as of June 2026.
| Format | Price per play | Typical presence | Why it works |
|---|---|---|---|
| Roadside & Shennan corridor digital | from ~$0.40 per play | $100 buys hourly bursts along Shennan Avenue and the airport expressway | drive-time commuter reach |
| Futian CBD tower-face LED | from ~$0.64 per play | the financial core and the Ping An Finance Centre | finance and office dwell |
| Nanshan tech-park digital | from ~$0.56 per play | the Hi-Tech Park and headquarters towers | engineer and B2B audiences |
| OCT Harbour waterfront digital | from ~$0.44 per play | the leisure and dining waterfront | evening and visitor dwell |
| Shenzhen Metro screens | from ~$0.42 per play | platforms across the busy core lines | walk-up urban commuters |
No minimums · no contracts · pay per verified play · hourly scheduling per screen
Four things move the price on any Shenzhen screen: the format (pricing runs higher on shenzhen Metro screens than on roadside & Shennan corridor digital), the zone (Futian CBD carries the highest footfall premium), the daypart (peak commute and evening hours price above the overnight lull), and how far in advance you book, since the busiest zones and formats sell out first.
What a campaign costs
Because you pay per play and schedule by the hour, your budget buys the exposure you actually need, not filler plays, so it works as hard on a big campaign as on a small one, with no minimum. Here's what budgets realistically buy. Live numbers per screen are in the platform.

FAQ
No. Blindspot books time on screens that are already installed and permitted by their media-owner operators, Focus Media, JCDecaux China, Asiaray among them, so you're leasing airtime on an existing structure, not erecting a new one.
Specs vary by screen: orientation, resolution and file format differ from one panel to the next. Every screen shows its exact requirements in the platform before you upload, so there's no separate spec sheet to track down before you book.
Yes. Every Shenzhen screen on Blindspot is bookable by the hour, with no minimum contract and no retainer. You pick the exact windows, so you can buy the morning commute on Nanshan tech belt, the afternoon retail stretch around OCT & OCT Harbour, or the evening social hours in Futian CBD, and skip everything between. Because you pay per play instead of for a fixed four-week flight, the same budget concentrated into proven peak windows buys more useful frequency than the same money spread across every hour including the overnight ones nobody sees. Availability and the per-play price are visible before you commit, and you can start with one screen and one daypart.
Blindspot puts the bookable digital out-of-home screens across Shenzhen on a single map: roadside and boulevard LED, street-level panels and citylights, transit and station screens, mall and place-based displays, and landmark placements, all priced per play and bookable by the hour. That spans zones from Futian CBD through to Bao’an & airport corridor. The underlying screens are owned and run by media operators such as Focus Media, JCDecaux China and Asiaray, and Blindspot books time on their existing, already-permitted structures rather than reselling a fixed package. You see each screen, its zone, its per-play price and its live availability before committing, so you are choosing specific screens and hours rather than buying an unspecified network bundle.
Often within hours: upload, pass creative pre-check, and digital screens need no printing or installation. Content approval typically averages around two business days across networks.
More than most people expect, because you are buying plays rather than weeks. A $500 budget in Shenzhen typically funds a multi-day hourly presence on a high-traffic corridor such as Nanshan tech belt, a concentrated burst across the busiest retail and transit screens at peak hours only, or thousands of plays on central urban panels where the per-play price is lowest. At entry prices around $0.40 per play, the arithmetic is straightforward and visible before you commit. What it will not stretch to is 24/7 coverage of a landmark spectacular, and that is the point of hourly buying: concentrate a small budget where and when it is seen instead of thinning it across hours with no audience.
No. Blindspot has no minimums, retainers or platform fees; you can run a focused hourly burst on a single screen or a full multi-zone Shenzhen campaign.
