China is actively integrating advanced technologies into its tourism infrastructure, creating a new level of convenience and engagement for visitors. In the northwestern province of Gansu, at the Dunhuang Museum, visitors can immerse themselves in the rich cultural heritage of the region through virtual reality (VR). These technologies allow exploration of ancient artifacts and frescoes without leaving the museum's premises. This approach not only protects fragile historical objects from damage but also makes them accessible to a broader audience, creating a more enriched and interactive tourism experience.

Simultaneously, Chinese megacities like Wuhan are showcasing innovations in transport infrastructure, which also contribute to attracting tourists. One such technology is the suspended monorail line known as the "Optics Valley Photon," which captures attention with its unique design, giving the impression of trains hanging in mid-air. Additionally, Wuhan is implementing autonomous vehicles, making city navigation safer and more efficient. These technologies not only enhance convenience for residents but also transform cities into modern tourist destinations, attracting those seeking new experiences.

These innovations emphasize China's ambition to be a leader in "smart tourism," integrating modern solutions to enhance visitor experiences and preserve cultural heritage. With the use of VR in museums and drones for delivering goods at tourist sites, the country emphasizes comfort and accessibility for every traveler. Incorporating advanced technologies into the daily lives of tourists can significantly change the perception of travel, elevating it to a new level of convenience and interactivity.
