Welcome to Guangzhou! High-tech enthusiastics? You are in the right place!

As a powerhouse of China's digital economy, this city stands at the absolute vanguard of global tech integration, serving as the birthplace for pioneers in autonomous driving, smart mobility, and low-altitude aviation.

Upon arrival, your Guangzhou high-tech guide/driver will wait for you in the airport/train station in Guangzhou and then escorted you to Haixinsha Future Island near Guangzhou Tower (Canton Tower).

Note: Haixinsha Future Island will be closed every Monday!

This waterfront pavilion acts as a premier staging ground for visionary Guangdong enterprises, showcasing a dynamic ecosystem of next-generation drones, autonomous buses, and interactive robotic solutions.

Following this exhibition, you will transfer to nearby Huaxin Center. At the north gate, you will witness urban automation in action, featuring a robotic coffee station that serves beverages via a mechanical arm, and a drone delivery port where a fleet of cargo drones air-drop meals directly to the pavilion.

After inspecting the advanced robot displays at the entrance of this drone research hub, you will enjoy a complimentary drone-delivered coffee.

i Optinal Robotaxi Experience:

Stroll across the architectural marvel of the Haixin Bridge and summon a Pony.ai Robotaxi for a driverless transfer right to Huaxin Building.

For lunch, you will savor an authentic Cantonese meal, experiencing how Guangzhou elegantly pairs its deeply rooted culinary heritage with its fast-paced modern lifestyle.

Afterward, a one-hour drive takes you to the Xpeng Motors Intelligent Manufacturing Factory in Huangpu District. This industrial 4.0 facility boasts an initial annual capacity of 120,000 units—synergizing with the Zhaoqing plant for a combined 300,000-unit output exported worldwide.

During the one-hour factory tour, you will witness core automotive innovations up close, including nearly 400 precision robotic arms, a massive 16,000-ton integrated die-casting machine, AI-powered visual quality control, digital twin modeling, and automated guided vehicles (AGVs) managing the smart logistics floor.

To wrap up the day, you will be transferred back to your departure terminal/station.

i Optional Robotaxi Pick-up & Drop-off:

If you are coming from or departing from Guangzhou South Railway Station, you can elevate your Guangzhou High Tech Tour by booking a 30-minute ride on the exclusive Canton Tower ⇄ Guangzhou South Station Robotaxi Express Line (2 days in advance).

Expert Advice and Ideas for Your Guangzhou High-Tech Tour

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Can the Robotaxi take me directly from the city center to the Xpeng Factory? +

No. The Robotaxi cannot currently support the entire cross-district journey. Autonomous ride-hailing services in Guangzhou operate within designated geofenced testing and commercial zones and do not yet offer unrestricted citywide point-to-point transportation.

The distance from the Canton Tower area to the Xpeng Factory in China-Singapore Guangzhou Knowledge City is approximately 45 kilometers. For this portion of the journey, travelers will use a comfortable private vehicle with a professional driver, with a transfer time of around one hour.

Q2: What unique tech experiences await at Haixinsha Future Island and Huaxin Center? +

The Haixinsha Future Island experience introduces visitors to a showcase of smart city technologies, autonomous mobility solutions, industrial robotics, and future urban infrastructure along Guangzhou's iconic waterfront.

At Huaxin Center, the focus shifts toward low-altitude aviation and commercial drone applications. Visitors can explore a dedicated drone innovation hub where autonomous aircraft perform real-world food delivery operations to designated collection platforms.

Near the entrance, guests can also interact with fully automated beverage robots and enjoy a complimentary coffee prepared and served by a high-precision robotic arm.

Q3: Is the Guangzhou Robotaxi Tour safe? +

Yes. Guangzhou's Robotaxi services utilize advanced autonomous driving technologies including cameras, radar, lidar sensors, high-definition mapping, and AI-powered decision-making systems.

Depending on local regulations and operating areas, safety operators may remain in the vehicle. For many international visitors, riding in a driverless vehicle is one of the most exciting and memorable highlights of the entire High-Tech Guangzhou experience.

Q4: How does the drone food delivery experience work? +

At Huaxin Center, travelers can witness real-world autonomous drone delivery operations. After placing an order through a designated platform, the food or beverage is loaded onto a drone and transported to a nearby collection point.

Guests can then retrieve their order directly from the designated delivery station. This experience offers a fascinating glimpse into how low-altitude logistics networks may transform urban transportation and last-mile delivery in the future.
