One visitor, Mr. Zhang, even ‘shook hands’ with a bot: ‘It felt like talking to a real person!’ 😲
Ancient Farming Gets a AI Glow-Up
Nearby, an agriculture museum paired robots with relics, sparking conversations between past and present. Think: AI explaining how a 3rd-century plow evolved into smart farming tools. 🌾💡
Why It Matters
From VR tours to crowd-monitoring drones, China’s travel industry is betting big on tech to boost safety and fun. As one traveler put it: ‘Who needs a human guide when robots know all the best selfie spots?’ 📸✨
