From suspended monorails to flight simulators, tech-powered trips has given families new ways to enjoy their holidays.
While experiencing thrills and excitement, children are also gaining a deeper appreciation of the speed and warmth behind China's drive in intelligent manufacturing.
In Wuhan City, capital of central China's Hubei Province, the country's only operating suspended monorail line, the Optics Valley Photon, has become a major attraction for tourists.
Inside the inverted carriages, passengers enjoy a unique air walk experience, with panoramic views, driverless operation, and the sensation of gliding through the sky.
"When I ride the train, it feels like I'm flying in the sky. I asked my teacher whether the wheels would go flat, and how the train could float like this. I feel like I have learned something I can't find anywhere else," said Leng Yijin, a primary school student.
In Taicang, east China's Jiangsu Province, on display at the city's aerospace industry exhibition center are exhibits ranging from a full-scale model based on the C919, China's domestically developed passenger aircraft, to precision-engineered components that require specialized equipment to be seen clearly.
Meanwhile, visitors are able to step into a simulated cockpit, take part in AR and VR flight experiences, and even interact with robots.
"We hope such immersive science and technology experiences can inspire children's curiosity and interest in scientific and innovation culture, helping foster both scientific literacy and sound values," said Ma Qianli, deputy head of the publicity department of the city.
