YINGMI Z50 SELF-SERVICE GUIDED TOUR RENTAL COUNTER: REGARDING RENTING THE GUIDED

 News     |     October 28, 2025

    Many overseas friends who visit museums and scenic spots in China have encountered this problem: If they want to rent a guide machine, they have to queue up at a human-operated counter. Without language skills, they can only gesture. After finally renting one, they are worried about the headphones not being disinfected. If they come too early or too late, the rental counter will be closed, and they won't even be able to touch the equipment. In fact, we Yingmi have already figured out how to solve these issues - by combining our 16-year experience in making guide equipment, we have developed the Z50 Self-service Guide Rental Cabinet, aiming to make renting a guide machine for overseas friends as simple, convenient, and hassle-free as picking up a package at your doorstep.

Ⅰ.How to use Z50?2 minutes for rent and return,no need to say a word to anyone


    When we developed Z50,we focused on one goal:Even if overseas friends don't speak a word of Chinese,they can handle it themselves. So whether renting or returning the equipment,the entire process doesn't require asking others for help; just click on the screen.

1. Renting equipment:Scan the code,select the machine,and pay. Three steps done.


    Open the touch screen of Z50,select the guided tour machine you want - for visiting museums,choose the C7 touch model (touch the exhibit label to listen to the explanation, no interference),for visiting scenic spots,choose the M7 automatic model (walk to the scenic spot and it automatically plays,no need to press),for enterprise visits,choose the E8 team model (not noisy when there are many people,clear to hear technical details). After selecting, scan the code,supported by WeChat,Alipay,and also recognizes Visa and MasterCard international credit cards. The deposit amount and how to refund are clearly marked in English, French, and Spanish on the screen,no need to guess. The entire process takes at most 2 minutes to get the equipment,faster than getting a cup of coffee in a coffee shop.

    Last year,a French tourist used Z50 to rent C7 at the Suzhou Museum. Later,they gave us feedback:"The entire process didn't require saying a word to anyone,it was exactly the same as renting a guided tour machine at the Louvre in Paris,without the need for a translator."


2.Returning equipment.Put it in the storage compartment,and the deposit will be automatically refunded


    Returning the equipment is even simpler. Look at the empty storage compartment on Z50, put the guided tour machine in, and you'll hear a "click" sound, indicating that it has been returned. The deposit doesn't need to be verified by the staff, and it will be returned to your payment account within 10 minutes, without worrying about "Will the deposit be forgotten to be refunded?" If you rent the equipment at the tourist center while visiting a scenic spot and want to return it halfway up the mountain, you don't need to go back to the tourist center - we have placed Z50 at several points in the scenic spot, and you can return it at any of those points, avoiding the hassle of traveling back and forth.

3. Holding the equipment in hand:Fully charged,and disinfected

    Overseas friends are concerned about whether the public equipment is clean and if the power is sufficient. These two points are considered by our Z50:

    Charging without a plug: When returning the equipment, the contact points in the storage compartment will automatically connect, and M7 will be fully charged within 3 hours. The one you receive is definitely fully charged for a day of visiting the scenic spot.

    Disinfection visible: When returning each device, the storage compartment will automatically turn on ultraviolet light for 15 minutes to kill bacteria on the surface. After disinfection, the screen will light up with a "Disinfected" small sign, and you can see at a glance that the equipment is clean.

    We still use our own patented PMU safety lithium battery. During charging, it will monitor temperature and current from the 1st to the 100,000th device, without any charging accidents. It has passed EU CE and RoHS certifications and can be used in Europe and America without any problems.

Ⅱ. Z50 not only makes it convenient for users, but also helps the operation of museums and scenic spots save a lot of trouble


    When making products, we not only want to make users comfortable, but also help the operation of museums and scenic spots save effort. Z50 has been of great help in this regard. 1. For the operators: Save money, worry less, and enhance the quality.

    Reduce manpower: Previously, 2-3 people had to work in shifts at the windows to rent equipment. Now, with the Z5024, it can work independently for 24 hours, replacing most of the manual labor. After using Z50 in Jiangsu Tianmu Lake Scenic Area, the rental cost for guided tours dropped by 60%, saving 150,000 yuan per year.

    Less hassle: Previously, manual management of equipment was required, always fearing loss or damage. Now, with the Z50, there is a cloud backend that allows you to check if each device is working and if the power is sufficient. If there is a minor issue with a device, it will automatically alert, and technicians can remotely repair it without having to dismantle the cabinets.

    Enhance image: The Z50 is pure white with a simple and elegant design. Placed at the entrance of museums or tourist centers, it gives a sense of technology. Many overseas tourists take pictures of it and post them on social media, indirectly promoting the venue.


2. For overseas friends: Free, secure, and enjoy the visit


    No waiting: Whether it's a 8 a.m. study tour group or a 6 p.m. business visitor, the Z50 is there waiting for you. You don't have to rush through the"human window time".

    No congestion: Previously, when renting equipment in a group, you had to wait until everyone had rented their equipment before leaving. Now, everyone rents their own, and you can go to whichever exhibit you want first. The visiting pace is determined by yourself.

    No worries about hygiene: UV disinfection + "one person, one machine", there's no need to worry about someone using it before and not cleaning it. A German tourist said, "Seeing the 'disinfected' sign, I felt safe enough to put on my headphones."


Ⅲ. Z50 works smoothly everywhere: museums, scenic spots, corporate exhibition halls, all can use it


    Our Z50 is not a "one-size-fits-all" product. Whether it's a museum with numerous exhibits, a scenic spot with an endless view, or a corporate exhibition hall with professional technical content, it can be used with our guided tour machine. The compatibility is clear and explicit.

1. Museums / Art Museums: Accurate audio explanations, no "interference" with others


    Places like the Suzhou Museum and the China Ethnic Culture Museum have their exhibits placed closely together. If the audio guide devices interfere with each other, it would be a big problem. So we placed the Z50 at the main entrance after security check, along with the C7 touch-screen guide device. If you rent the C7 and approach Wen Zhengming's calligraphy, touch the small label next to it, you can listen to an English explanation like "How was this character written? What are the rules?"; then, when you reach Tang Bo'e's painting, touch it again, and the explanation will immediately switch, without any ambiguity. After you finish your visit, just return the Z50 at the exit, and there's no need to go back to the entrance.

2. 5A Scenic Spots / Natural Heritage Sites: Enough power for a whole day, and can cross points for return


    For large scenic spots like Jiangxi Longhu Mountain and Jiangsu Tianmu Lake, it takes a long time to visit, so we paired the Z50 with the M7 automatic sensing guided tour machine: The M7 has a battery life of up to 24 hours. When you reach the Danxia landform viewing platform, it automatically explains "How was this rock formed"; when you reach the lake area, it automatically explains "What specialties are in this lake". You don't have to fumble with buttons. If you rented the equipment at the tourist center, when you want to return to the boat dock, you can directly find the Z50 at the boat dock and don't have to go back.

3. Corporate Exhibition Halls / Planning Centers: Receiving overseas clients, professional and convenient

    When Huawei and Adidas receive overseas suppliers, they are most afraid of unprofessional explanations and interference. So we placed the Z50 in the reception hall of corporate exhibition halls, paired with the E8 team explanation device: The E8 signal can reach 280 meters. When you reach the Danxia landform viewing platform, it automatically explains "The assembly accuracy of the 5G base station"; when you reach the lake area, it automatically explains "What specialties are in this lake". No interference even if you are close. Overseas suppliers can use 1 channel, Japanese customers can use 5 channels. The German supplier group uses 1 channel, and the Japanese customer group uses 5 channels. The E8 supports 200 independent channels. The explanation officer doesn't need to repeatedly translate, it's convenient and accurate.

IV. The Confidence of Yingmi: 16 Years of Experience in Tour Guide Equipment, No Fancy Show-offs

    The Z50 can be used in over 40 countries. It's not just empty boasting; it's based on real capabilities:

    Strong qualifications: The Z50 and its accompanying tour guide devices have passed the EU CE and RoHS certifications. They are compliant with local standards when shipped to Europe and the Americas, so there's no worry about not being able to use them;

    Strict quality control: Each Z50 must pass 5 rounds of tests - signal connectivity, charging speed, disinfection effectiveness, payment smoothness, and appearance scratches. If it doesn't meet the standards, it cannot be released from the factory;

    Reliable after-sales service: If you encounter any problems while using it, call our 24-hour English customer service hotline (400-990-7677). Whether it's asking "How to switch languages" at 2 a.m. or needing to repair the device, someone will help you solve the problem. If the device needs to be returned for repair, it will definitely be fixed and sent back within 10 days. During this period, you can also receive a spare machine without any delay in your exhibition and story listening experience.


Conclusion: The Z50 aims to make the overseas visitors' visit more comfortable.


    The original intention of making the Z50 was not to sell a cabinet, but to help overseas friends avoid more troubles - no need to queue for renting equipment, no worries about language, no concerns about hygiene, being able to focus on viewing exhibits and listening to stories. Now the Z50, along with C7, M7, and E8, is already serving in over 40 countries' venues worldwide. In the future, we also plan to add more minor languages to make it easier for more overseas friends to use.
    Whether you are in charge of museums, work in scenic areas, or are responsible for reception in enterprises, if you want to make it more convenient for overseas friends to rent tour guide devices, Yingmi Z50 is definitely the right choice - these are all experiences we have gained through many venue collaborations, and they are reliable!
