At a nearby workbench, nine-year-old Zhang Qihang was busy assembling a robot of his own. "Building robots is awesome! I can let my imagination run wild," he said, beaming with excitement.
This was the scene at an artificial intelligence (AI) summer camp -- part of a new wave of study tours gaining traction across China. Moving beyond textbooks, students are flocking to tech giants, university labs and science centers, eager to get hands-on experience with cutting-edge AI technologies and see firsthand how the future is taking shape.

AI STUDY-TOUR BOOM
During this summer vacation, AI-themed study tours have begun to gain ground, with bookings surging 370 percent year on year, according to online travel platform Ctrip.
To tap into the growing demand for AI-focused tech tourism, a travel agency based in Nanjing, east China's Jiangsu Province, began adding visits to technology companies to its trip programs last summer. "On our Shanghai-Hangzhou independent study tours, AI-related activities now account for more than 80 percent of the itinerary," founder Zhu Ping said.
The boom is unfolding against the backdrop of China's broader AI boom, powered by a wave of homegrown models and applications. For a growing number of Chinese teenagers, AI tools such as DeepSeek, Kimi and Doubao are becoming familiar companions in their everyday lives.
The number of AI enterprises in China had surpassed 6,000 last year, and the output value of the core AI industry was projected to exceed 1.2 trillion yuan (about 177 billion U.S. dollars) during the same period, representing a year-on-year increase of nearly 30 percent.
Moreover, China was home to more than 140 humanoid robot developers in 2025, with shipments reaching 14,400 units -- accounting for 84.7 percent of the global market, according to an industry research report.
To help children prepare for an AI-driven future, China unveiled an "AI Plus Education" initiative earlier this year, encouraging schools to take AI learning beyond the classroom through after-school programs and hands-on activities. The goal is to help students understand and use AI properly, while sparking curiosity, nurturing creativity and honing their critical-thinking and problem-solving skills.
Today, the AI study-tour wave is sweeping through China's schools, as primary and secondary schools incorporate it into their educational programs. Parents are taking their children into the heart of the tech industry to see how AI transforms the real world.
China's tech-tourism boom is also drawing international visitors keen to get a close-up look at the innovation behind "Made in China."
Since opening in Shanghai in May, Unitree Robotics's first embodied intelligence experience store in Asia has attracted many foreign visitors.
Victoria, from Denmark, visited the store last month. "I've seen some of the dancing videos, but it's really cool to see them in real life," she said, viewing the development of AI and robotics in China as "revolutionary, new and exciting."

FROM AI USERS TO AI CREATORS
Today's children are growing up as AI natives, already fluent in AI tools. But AI study camps are opening a new window onto how the technology is reshaping the world around them and how they can use it to make a difference.
For Liang Yiduo, a Beijing middle school student, an AI summer camp run by internet giant NetEase offered a fresh perspective on the AI technology he thought he already knew.
"I realized that large language models aren't just chatbots or simple tools," he said. "They can be assistants that work alongside you and help you create things tailored to your needs, like 'claws.'"
"The goal of the study camp is to help children move from simply using AI to understanding it, creating with it and even building their own AI agents," said Wang Lijin, director and founder of Beijing Venus Future Education Consulting Center, which assists NetEase in running its study camps.

Some study tour organizers design programs around students' interests and abilities, aiming to spark curiosity and encourage deeper thinking.
Shanghai Qingbao Robot Co., Ltd., for example, offers students who enjoy building things the chance to assemble robotic arms and explore the mechanics of shoulder and neck structures. It also gives students a comparative look at the robotics and AI industries in China, the US, Europe and Japan, helping them gain a more balanced understanding of China's strengths and shortcomings.
Wang Lei, the company's chairman, believes that study tours can greatly broaden students' horizons in science and innovation. "Through immersive study tours, students start thinking for themselves about how robotics can be applied to everyday life, from unmanned retail to automated pharmacies," he said.
Some students are taking it a step further, learning to spot real-world problems and use AI to develop solutions.
In the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen, a group of students spent six days in a camp turning ideas into an AI-powered product.
"I've realized that learning AI isn't about showing off what I can do with it, but about using it to solve real problems for others," said one team member. "I want to keep learning AI so I can help more people in the future." 
。    大皖新闻讯 连日来，一则“吉林老人救助重庆游客反遭诬陷”的消息持续引发关注，网民们议论纷纷。1月15日，重庆警方发布警情通报称，初步查明，涉事游客不存在网传“诬陷”情况，此事迎来反转，这一结论也与此前吉林当地相关部门表述存在出入。对此，1月16日，吉林市文旅部门回应称，正在跟进。有消息称，当地曾给大爷进行了补偿。重庆警方的通报中提到，2024年12月2日，彭某跟团到吉林市旅游。12月3日，旅行团在导游带领下到丰满区小雾淞岛景区游玩。8时许，彭某站在景区路边换手套，一辆载有游客的狗拉爬犁经过彭某身旁时，彭某倒地，带团导游拨打120求助，经营该狗拉爬犁的李某对彭某受伤表示歉意，声称愿意负责。就引发热议的“老人救助游客反遭诬陷”之说，通报中称，该局民警赴外省找到当时乘坐李某所牵狗拉爬犁的游客夫妇了解情况，二人均明确表示，李某牵着他们乘坐的狗拉爬犁行进时，爬犁右边钢管碰到路边女士腿部致其倒地。综合多地调查情况初步查明，彭某、雷某不存在网传的“诬陷”情况。目前，该局正在进一步协同吉林市公安机关依法调查。呼吁广大网友理性平和对待此事，避免人身攻击，共同营造清朗和谐网络空间。大皖新闻记者注意到，此前，有媒体报道，吉林当地派出所民警曾称“我们通过监控给大爷澄清了，确实不是他的狗爬犁把游客绊倒的。”并有消息称，当地垫钱给大爷进行了补偿。

B | 1月15日，大皖新闻记者就此咨询了吉林市丰满区文旅局，工作人员回应称，小雾凇岛是自然景观带，不在该部门分管范围内，是由吉林市文旅局管理，此次事件全程也是由吉林市文旅局在处理。“这个事情我们在跟进，但是现在不方便作出回复。”1月16日，大皖新闻记者联系了吉林市文旅局，工作人员回应称，此事涉及到个人隐私，不便透露，如有消息，会通过官方平台对外发布。大皖新闻记者 韩喻（来源：大皖新闻）更多精彩资讯请在应用市场下载“极目新闻”客户端，未经授权请勿转载，欢迎提供新闻线索，一经采纳即付报酬。24小时报料热线027-86777777。
