Description

Discover how technology is becoming part of everyday life in Shanghai on this immersive AI and robotics experience. 1)Ride a real driverless taxi 2)Experience drone food delivery (waiting time required after ordering) 3)Interact with cutting-edge Unitree robot & robot dog Instead of simply visiting a technology museum, you’ll see and experience these technologies in real-world settings. Optional Upgrade: You can also add a visit to the 118th-floor observation deck of Shanghai Tower, the tallest building in China. Please Note: 1) The experience takes place at three different locations in Shanghai, so some travel time between activities is required. Please keep this in mind when booking. 2) The drone food delivery experience depends on weather conditions and local airspace restrictions on the day of the tour and may occasionally be unavailable. If this happens, you can choose to replace it with a robot coffee and local lunch experience, or choose a refund for the drone delivery part.

Itinerary

Pudong
30 min

Driverless Taxi Experience (Autonomous Ride in Shanghai): Travelers will experience one of Shanghai’s most advanced AI technologies by taking a real ride in a driverless taxi (autonomous vehicle) in a designated smart mobility area. Your guide will assist with boarding and ensure a smooth and safe experience while explaining how China’s autonomous driving system works in real urban traffic conditions. During the ride, travelers will enjoy a unique opportunity to observe how the vehicle navigates traffic lights, pedestrians, and city roads without a human driver. This is a hands-on futuristic mobility experience, showcasing how AI and smart transportation are shaping the future of urban travel in Shanghai. Please note that each autonomous vehicle can accommodate up to 3 passengers, including your guide. For bookings with more than 2 travelers, additional vehicles will be arranged to ensure everyone can enjoy the driverless taxi experience.

Yangpu
60 min

Drone Food Delivery Experience: Next, travelers will enjoy a drone food tasting experience, sampling local specialties delivered directly by flying drones. Please note that this experience is weather-dependent. In case of rain, strong winds, or operational restrictions, drone delivery may be temporarily suspended. If this occurs, the experience will be adjusted flexibly. Guests may instead observe a robot-made coffee demonstration in action, while the local food tasting will still be provided at a nearby alternative location. This ensures travelers can still enjoy a seamless and engaging experience of Shanghai’s AI-powered urban innovation and next-generation service technologies.

Puxi (Downtown Shanghai)
30 min

AI Robotics Experience: Humanoid Robot & Robot Dog Travelers will conclude their high-tech journey with an interactive AI robotics experience featuring humanoid robot, and robotic dog technologies developed by leading robotics companies in China, including Unitree, a major manufacturer. Guests can get up close with these intelligent machines and take part in fun interactive demonstrations, such as watching humanoid robots perform coordinated movements, dance routines, or even showcase Chinese kung fu-inspired actions. Robotic dogs will demonstrate agility, balance, and responsive movement. This experience offers a fascinating look at how robotics and artificial intelligence are becoming part of everyday life in China, from entertainment and education to real-world applications in modern cities like Shanghai.

Shanghai Tower
Admission included60 min

Optional Add-on: Shanghai Tower 118F Observation Deck Experience: Travelers may choose to add an optional visit to the 118th-floor observation deck of Shanghai Tower, the tallest building in China. If selected during booking, guests will take one of the world’s fastest elevators, reaching speeds of up to 18 meters per second, to quickly ascend to the top of the tower. At the top, travelers can enjoy panoramic views over Shanghai. On clear daytime conditions, visibility is excellent, offering especially stunning views of the Huangpu River, Lujiazui skyline, and the striking contrast between historic districts and the modern high-rise cityscape. From this elevated perspective, travelers can see Shanghai’s rapid transformation as a global center of technology and innovation. After booking, guests are required to provide their full name and passport information in advance to allow for pre-booking of admission tickets.
