Pingyao ancient city is in north China's Shanxi Province. It is famous for its ancient architecture (建筑物),including the city walls. It has been on the World Cultural Heritage (遗产) list since 1997. It is a perfect place for tourists to learn about the life of ancient Chinese. Walking around it, visitors will see ancient buildings, streets, walls and Rishengchang Exchange House. Everything can bring people back to the old days.
Recently, a group of 26 robot tour guides have been put into service in Pingyao. Tourists can pay 24 yuan for 30 minutes of interpretation (解说), interaction (互动) and riding services offered by the robots. They can give visitors some advice on foods, hotels and where to buy gifts.
The robot can also carry someone or something that is less than 200 kg in weight. It is able to run 6.4 km an hour and it will stop moving when it is less than 50 cm away from people. "I first thought it was an e-bike, but it turned out to be a robot guide," said Wang Baodong, a man from Pingyao.
Another 29 robots will be introduced in Pingyao soon for the tourist season.
