YINGMI GUIDE DEVICE: THE PREFERRED AUTOMATIC TOUR GUIDE MACHINE FOR SCENIC AREAS,

 News     |     November 06, 2025

    As soon as overseas tourists reached the entrance of Sizhu Garden on Gulangyu Island in Xiamen, a traditional automatic tour guide device suddenly began to provide explanations about Zhongguoshan. Japanese tourists wanted to find a Japanese version of "The Borrowing of Scenery in Suzhou Gardens", but after going through the device's menu, they only found a bilingual option. A Dutch elderly person was halfway through visiting Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi Province when the device suddenly ran out of power. He could only take a photo of the unfamiliar Danxia landform. The automatic tour guide devices in scenic spots were supposed to be "helpful companions for sightseeing", but most of them either "failed to trigger properly", "had incorrect languages", or "couldn't withstand outdoor conditions", thus causing unnecessary troubles to the smooth itinerary. However, Yingmi, a voice-guiding product brand that has been dedicated to product design for 15 years under Hefei Huima Information Technology Co., Ltd., has already incorporated the pain points of automatic tour guides in scenic spots into its product design. With its advantages of "correct triggering, stable signal, full languages, and durable and reliable", it has become the preferred automatic tour guide for overseas tourists when visiting scenic spots. This is also the key reason why it can serve 5A-level scenic spots such as Gulangyu Island in Xiamen and Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi Province for a long time, and has also won the recognition of international clients such as Huawei.

I. Overseas tourists encounter problems with the automatic tour guides in scenic spots. The following five issues are the most common

Whether visiting the gardens of Jiangnan, desert campsites, or mountainous scenic areas, the troubles overseas tourists encounter with the automatic tour guides are almost always related to these five points, and these are precisely the areas where Yingmi Tour Guide Device focuses its efforts:


1. Incorrect triggering of "random music", the content that should be presented is not presented, and irrelevant sounds are randomly emitted

In places like the "Step-by-Step Scenery" of Suzhou's Qipao Garden, the triggering range of traditional automatic tour guides is simply uncontrollable - standing in front of the "People Sitting Together Pavilion", it triggered the explanation of "Xiangzhou" 50 meters away; in Xiu Zhuang Garden on Xiamen Gulangyu Island, as soon as one entered the gate, the content of Dayang Rock was heard, and tourists had to repeatedly move the device to find the "correct triggering point". Last year, a French tourist visiting the West Lake in Hangzhou had the device trigger 4 times within half an hour, and finally, she simply turned off the device and "randomly wandered", not even being able to learn "The Legend of San Tan Yin Yue".


2. Outdoor signal "goes haywire", disconnected in mountainous and desert areas

The scenic spots that overseas tourists love to visit are too diverse: sand dunes in Dubai, low temperatures in Iceland's glaciers, forests in Jiangxi's Longhu Mountain. Traditional automatic tour guides' signals simply cannot withstand them - walking 50 meters in the forest of Longhu Mountain, the device disconnects, and it takes 3 restarts to recover; in the Dubai desert, when the wind blows, the explanation sound turns into "rustling", making it impossible to hear "The Tent Culture of the Bedouins". A German tourist taking his parents to Gulangyu Island on Xiamen had the device disconnect twice in the bamboo forest of Xiu Zhuang Garden, "wanting to learn about the history of the Piano Museum, but only heard half of it, and the rest could only follow others' tour guides to listen to fragmented content".


3. Small language "can't find the way", machine translation is too cursory

The language needs of overseas tourists are never "enough English" - Middle Eastern groups need Arabic, Swedish groups need Swedish, Portuguese groups need Portuguese, but most automatic tour guides only provide English and Chinese languages. Small languages are either not available or are "tokenized" by machine translation: "Huizhou Bamboo Weaving's Wanzichun Pattern" is translated as "bamboopattern", "Danxia Landform" is said to be "redrock", and the entire experience is like "listening to a foreign language". A Middle Eastern tourist visiting the Chinese Ethnic Museum wanted to understand "The Connection between the Silk Road and the Middle East" in Arabic, but ended up not even learning this part, and could only regretfully leave: "I would have preferred to do the research in advance and at least know about this cultural connection."


4. "Rough operation", the elderly and children cannot learn

Many traditional automatic tour guides have complex interfaces. Changing the language requires pressing 3 combination keys, adjusting the sensitivity requires studying the Chinese manual for a long time; some devices do not have memory functions, and the next time they are powered on, they have to reconfigure the language and mode. A Dutch elderly tourist reported: "The device I used before took 20 minutes to figure out how to enter the automatic mode, and in the end, I still had to ask the tour guide for help, it was too inconvenient." Families with children are more troubled. If a child accidentally presses the wrong key, the device switches to the Chinese mode, and they have to re-adjust.


5. "Insufficient battery life", mid-day power failure during the entire day's itinerary

Overseas tourists visiting scenic spots usually have 3-8-hour full-day itineraries, from museums in the morning to outdoor attractions in the afternoon. Traditional automatic tour guides have a battery life of only 4-5 hours, making them prone to "go haywire" - Japanese tourists visiting the Summer Palace had no power at noon, and wanted to learn "The Story of the Colorful Paintings on the Long Corridor", but had to give up; during the Iceland study tour, the low temperature reduced the battery life by 50%, and the "Glacial Geology" explanation in the afternoon could only be given orally, and tourists could not remember "The Formation Cause of the Glacial Lines", greatly reducing the experience of visiting the scenic spots.

 

II. Yingmi Speaker: The "Cure" Solution for Tourist Self-Guided Tours in Scenic Areas

Yingmi did not resort to a "generic model" to meet the needs of different scenic area scenarios. Instead, it focused on implementing the "precise, stable, comprehensive, easy-to-use, and long-lasting" features of the automatic tour guide. Each model of the device has its own "scenic area adaptation positioning":


1. The first choice for large outdoor scenic areas: i7 Ear-Pendant Automatic Sensing Speaker - Lightweight, stable signal, durable and resistant to extreme conditions.

When visiting outdoor scenic areas such as Xiamen Gulangyu Island, Dubai Desert, or Jiangxi Longhu Mountain, i7 is the top choice for overseas tourists. It weighs only 20 grams and is like two credit cards hanging on the ears, not tiring after 6 hours of touring. It uses RFID-2.4G non-interfering star distribution technology. Yingmi will set up small signal transmitters at key points in the scenic area (such as the Sunlight Rock Observation Platform on Gulangyu Island, the Hanging Coffin Scenic Spot on Longhu Mountain), and the transmitters can penetrate the forest and resist sandstorms. The device enters a range of 1-35 meters (distance adjustable) and precisely triggers the explanation without accidentally triggering the explanations of adjacent scenic spots.
The anti-extreme environment ability of i7 has also been tested and proven: The shell is treated for water resistance and sand resistance. Even if it gets splashed with fine sand in the Dubai Desert, it can still be used after wiping. The PMU safe intelligent lithium battery (patented by the country) can withstand temperatures from -20°C to 45°C. The low temperatures of Iceland's glaciers and the high temperatures of Xiamen in summer will not affect the battery life - it can last for 7 hours at normal temperature and 5 hours in extreme conditions, sufficient for a full-day itinerary. A Norwegian tourist used i7 in Iceland, "In the wind of -10 degrees Celsius, the device never lost connection, and the explanation was crystal clear, even better than the headphones I brought."


2. The first choice for dense exhibition areas: C7 Touch Automatic Speaker - Precise without interference, clear details

In places with dense exhibits (such as the spacing of 1 meter between exhibition cabinets) or compact scenic spots, C7's "automatic sensing + touch dual mode" is just suitable. In automatic mode, it uses the 860-870 MHz high-frequency band signal to precisely identify scenic spots and will not interfere with the explanations of adjacent scenic spots. If "scenic spots are too close and prone to accidental touch" (such as "The Pavilion of Those Who Shared a Seat" and "Xiangzhou" at Suzhou Zhoupu Garden), switch to the touch mode, gently touch the NFC passive tag beside the scenic spot to trigger the corresponding multilingual explanation. Even "the steamy bending process of the Ming-style chair" can be heard clearly.
The screen of C7 can also simultaneously play high-definition detailed images: When explaining "Song Dynasty Ruoyao", it will enlarge the "golden silk iron lines" on the glaze surface; when explaining "Tang Dynasty Pottery Figure", it will play a "small animation of pottery production" to go with the explanation, allowing overseas tourists to more intuitively understand the cultural connotation. A Dutch Sinology scholar used C7 at Suzhou Museum, "When touching the 'Ming Yongle Blue and White Pressure-Hand Cup' label, the English explanation even mentioned 'the writing technique of the seal script style on the cup bottom', which was more detailed than the experience at the Amsterdam Museum."

3. The first choice for long-day itineraries: M7 Neck-Hanging Automatic Speaker - Long battery life, comfortable listening experience

For long-day scenic areas such as Linzhou Hongqi Canal and Tangwang River National Park that require 5-8 hours, the M7 neck-hanging model is more suitable. Its 50-gram weight is hung on the neck, more suitable for long-term wearing than in-ear devices; with an ultra-long 16-hour battery life, it can last the entire day without charging and does not need to find a place to plug in during the journey, thus not wasting time. The signal reception range can be adjusted, and in open outdoor scenic areas, it can precisely control to "trigger only when reaching the scenic spot", without being too early or too late.
The automatic sensing of M7 can also be linked to cultural details: When approaching the "Youth Cave" on Hongqi Canal, it will automatically play "The story of the young construction team digging the cave"; when reaching the " Rock Scenic Area" on Tangwang River, it will explain "The formation age and geological characteristics of the rocks". A Japanese tourist spent five hours exploring Tangwang River. "From morning to afternoon, the explanations were clear and my neck didn't get sore. It was much more comfortable than the previous equipment. The child even asked, 'Why are the stones different?'"


4. The top choice for self-service rental: Z50 Self-Service Rental Cabinet + Compatible Equipment - You can get it in 2 minutes, no waiting required

Overseas tourists who want to rent an automatic tour guide device temporarily don't have to struggle with the human service counter anymore - Yingmi Z50 Self-Service Rental Cabinet is placed at the entrance of the scenic area (such as the pier of Gulangyu Island in Xiamen, the south gate of the Suzhou Museum), with a white body printed with faint scenic area patterns, which goes well with the environment. When you approach, the screen will automatically match the language of your mobile phone system (Arabic, Japanese, French, etc., 8 mainstream languages), and it's clearly marked whether you want to rent i7 or C7.
Payment is also worry-free. There's no need to exchange RMB. Visa, MasterCard can be used, and WeChat and Alipay are also compatible; the deposit amount, how to return (the device will be returned to the original place 10 minutes after returning it), whether it's a "3-hour short-term rental" or "all-day long-term rental", are all clearly written in pictures and text. Even "You can try the voice after renting" is marked as a reminder. A French tourist reported: "Last year, when renting traditional equipment on Gulangyu Island, it took 35 minutes to queue up. This time, using Z50, I got i7 in just 2 minutes. As soon as the French language commentary came out, I knew 'the piano culture of Shuzhao Garden', it was much easier than hiring a tour guide."


III. The Reasons for Choosing Yingmi: Not Only Good Equipment, But Also Understanding the Needs of Overseas Tourists

The reason why Yingmi can be the preferred choice for automatic tour guides in scenic spots is not only because of the equipment, but also because of the "full-chain guarantee" that allows overseas tourists to enjoy their visit without any worries:


1. Strong Backing: Independently produced and internationally certified, usable worldwide

Yingmi belongs to Hefei Huimai Information Technology Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Inte Group. It is a national high-tech enterprise and a big data enterprise, with a 50-acre standardized factory, 4 automated SMT production lines, and full-chain control from chip research to equipment assembly - each audio guide device must undergo 5 rounds of tests (signal, shock resistance, battery life, temperature range, antibacterial), from the 1st device to the 1 millionth device achieving "zero safety accidents".
All equipment has passed EU CE and RoHS certifications, meeting the electronic standards of 40+ countries in Europe, America, and the Middle East. Overseas tourists can bring them back and use them without worrying about "voltage mismatch"; even the accessories have undergone strict testing, and products like the i7 headphones and C7 NFC tags can withstand the frequent use of the scenic spots for a long time, reducing maintenance troubles.


2. Native Language Enough: Not Machine Translation, But "Native-Level Explanation"

The HM8.0 multilingual sharing platform of Yingmi is the "language core" of the automatic tour guide - it comes with 8 languages as standard: English, French, German, Japanese, Arabic, etc., all recorded by native speakers:
Arabic was recorded by a former interpreter from the Dubai Natural History Museum, when explaining "Silk Road Cultural Relics", he would compare "the trade connection between the Middle East and China";
French was recorded by a former interpreter from the Louvre in Paris, when explaining "Suzhou Gardens", he would explain "the differences between the borrowing-landscape technique and the French Palace of Versailles Gardens";
If there is a need for rare languages like Swedish or Portuguese, it can be customized within 3 days - last year, a Swedish study tour group came to China, Yingmi specially recorded a Swedish explanation of "Wuyi Mountain Rock Tea Production", even explaining "the impact of the roasting temperature on the taste" clearly.
There will be no "cultural jokes": for example, instead of translating "Taihu Stone's 'slim, wrinkled, cracked, and transparent'" as "strangestone", it would explain "these are the 4 standards for selecting stones in Suzhou Gardens, 'slim' means the stone is upright, 'wrinkled' means the surface texture, 'cracked' means the holes are transparent", allowing overseas tourists to truly "understand the culture".


3. After-sales Not Missing: Overseas Problems Can Be Solved at Any Time

Overseas tourists are most afraid of "the equipment breaking down in the foreign country and no one to take care of it", Yingmi's 9G service system thought of this:
Pre-sales: English, French, and Arabic customer service respond to inquiries within 90 seconds, can free of charge send i7 and M7 samples, allowing tourists to test "whether it is compatible with the target scenic spot" first;
During-sales: When there is a batch demand from the scenic spot, Yingmi will go to the site to survey the location, optimize the signal transmitter layout, ensuring precise triggering;
After-sales: 24-hour multilingual hotline (400-990-7677) is always online, if the equipment breaks down overseas, remote debugging can be completed within 10 minutes; if it needs to be repaired, it will be fixed and sent back within 10 working days, providing a spare device during the period, without delaying the trip. A German tourist encountered i7 disconnection on Gulangyu Island in Xiamen, after calling the customer service, it was fixed within 5 minutes, "I originally thought it would delay the visit, but it was so unexpectedly fast, it was much more convenient than finding local repair services."


IV. The Real Experience of Overseas Tourists: Yingmi Guide Device, Making Visits More Understandable

Yingmi's reputation is not built through advertisements; it is earned by global tourists:
"I took my parents to visit Gulangyu Island in Xiamen and rented the Yingmi i7. From Dayang Rock to Suzhoudian Garden, the device never triggered once. The Mandarin commentary even detailed 'the century-old history of the piano museum's ancient gongs'. My parents were so fascinated. Previously, the equipment always had feedback, but this time, we could finally enjoy the visit without any interruptions." - Japanese tourist Sato
"An educational tour group from the Netherlands visited the Suzhou Museum and used the Yingmi C7. The touch mode was extremely precise. When students touched the labels in the 'Ming-style furniture exhibition area', the English commentary provided more details than my prepared lecture notes. The rental was also convenient. The Z50 cabinet was ready in 2 minutes, and there was no need to delay the educational trip." - Dutch educational tour guide Anna
"In the desert camp in Dubai, using the Yingmi 7, even in the strong sandstorm, the connection was not interrupted. When the Arabic commentary talked about 'the coffee etiquette of the Bedouins', it mentioned 'the meaning of pouring coffee three times'. After listening, the children even asked 'why pour three times', which was a much better experience than just looking at the scenery." - Dubai tourist Ahmed


V. Conclusion: Automatic Tour Guides in Scenic Areas, What Matters is "Understanding the Scenery and You"

The core of the automatic tour guide device in scenic areas should not be "just making sounds", but "when you reach the scenic spot, using the language you understand, tell the story you want to know". Yingmi's guide device has been deeply rooted in scenic areas for 15 years. It did not pursue "fancy functions", but focused on the overseas tourists' "trigger accuracy, understanding ability, and ease of use" as the requirements, hiding the technology in the details - making the signal in the desert more stable, making the triggering in dense scenic areas more accurate, making the small language explanations more authentic, and making it easy for the elderly and children to use.
Next time you plan to visit Chinese scenic areas and want a reliable automatic tour guide device, you might as well try the Yingmi guide device - it won't make you frustrated with "mis-triggering", won't make you regret "not understanding", but will help you more easily understand the culture behind every scenic spot.
