AI Guides and Robot Performers Inject New Experiences into Cultural Tourism

The 25th China Internet Conference showcased AI-powered cultural tourism projects, including AI guides at Sayram Lake in Xinjiang, MR experiences in Shanghai, and robot dance troupes at the National Stadium in Beijing. China Mobile launched an 'AI + digital tourism one-stop solution' deployed in Xinjiang with over 5 million visits last year. Demand for robot performances is strong, with the domestic performance robot rental market expected to exceed 10 billion yuan in 2026.
