Humanoid robots set to compete in the world's first robot fighting competition in Hangzhou City of east China's Zhejiang Province went through stress tests on Wednesday, proving their ability to perform the combat matches and providing data for organizers to adjust rules.

The China Media Group (CMG) World Robot Contest: Mech Combat Arena Competition, scheduled for Sunday, will be livestreamed globally.

The first round of stress tests on Wednesday covered the entire process of the game, including exhibition matches and competition matches, and were joined by ring announcers, anchors, and professional referees.

Based on test results, the rules of the game have been basically determined and are subject to further adjustments, according to organizers.

It's also set that robots will be remote-controlled when fighting in the arena, the organizers added.

A significance of the game is to test the robots' ability to learn. When the robots are able to dance, exercise and fight, they will be made lighter for application in people's daily life and production, according to developers.

The Palace Museum, also known as the Forbidden City, was blanketed by Beijing's first snow of this winter on Friday, transforming the 600-year-old imperial palace complex into a picturesque winter wonderland and drawing crowds of visitors eager to capture its beauty.

The UNESCO World Heritage site, once the palace of the Ming (1368–1644) and Qing (1644–1911) dynasties, saw its iconic red walls and yellow glazed roofs covered with soft white snow, creating a striking visual contrast.

Braving the cold, many tourists flocked there to record the beautiful scenes with their cameras.
