In Guangzhou, the future isn't a museum exhibit — it's how the city already runs. This tour lets you experience China's cutting-edge tech first-hand in a single day.
Ride in a driverless robotaxi, watch delivery drones drop off orders overhead, shop in unmanned stores, and get served by robots — everyday smart-city life that surprises almost every first-time visitor.
Want to go deeper? A visit to a smart EV manufacturing facility (e.g. XPeng) can be included with advance arrangement — see how China actually builds its electric vehicles. And for the boldest travelers, a passenger-drone (eVTOL) flight can be added, subject to weather and availability.
What makes this different: your guide is a former Huawei engineer. So when the wheel turns on its own, you don't just get "wow" — you get a real explanation of the sensors, the decisions, and how it all works.
Best for: curious travelers who want to experience China's tech reputation for themselves — hands-on, not through a screen.

1
Guangzhou's smart-tech showcase island, packed with hands-on future tech in one place. Ride an autonomous shuttle, watch robot dogs and humanoid robots in action, see eVTOL flying cars and low-altitude flight simulators, try robot-run stores and AI experiences, and watch drones fly overhead. Your English-speaking guide — a former engineer — explains how each technology actually works, helps you navigate the Chinese-only exhibits, and makes sure you experience the highlights without the language barrier or guesswork.

2Canton Tower
Guangzhou's iconic landmark and a live testing ground for next-generation mobility. Here you can experience China's smart transport first-hand — ride autonomous shuttles and driverless cars on real roads, and watch delivery drones carry orders across the river overhead. Prefer the classic view? You can also head up Canton Tower for a panorama over the city and Pearl River. Your engineer-guide explains the self-driving technology behind it all and handles the Chinese-only apps that stop most visitors from trying these on their own.

3Guangzhou
XPeng Guangzhou Smart Manufacturing Base — one of China's most advanced EV factories open to visitors. See how electric vehicles are actually built: a brand showroom explaining the technology, real production lines, and photo-worthy industrial installations. Rather than a traditional assembly-line walkthrough, it's designed as an immersive "smart manufacturing academy." Your engineer-guide adds context most visitors miss — explaining the automation, robotics, and production logic behind what you're seeing.
