China celebrated its 16th Tourism Day on May 19.
As China's tourism industry matures and culture and tourism become ever more intertwined, travellers now have access to a growing range of products. Among the many types of tourism, industrial tourism stands out for its distinctive appeal, emerging as both a highlight of quality travel and a new driver of cultural and tourism consumption.
The electric vehicle factory of Chinese tech giant Xiaomi, located in Beijing's Yizhuang, is a sprawling complex covering more than 700,000 square metres. On a recent weekend, Ms. Zhang arrived early with her 10-year-old son and joined the queue outside the factory gates.
Accompanied by a guide, Zhang and her son first toured the exhibition centre, where visitors are introduced to the factory's core technologies, including chassis architecture, battery systems, electric drive technology, body structure, self-developed chips, and intelligent driver-assistance systems.
