Future Shanghai Tech Tour
Four hours in tomorrow—ride a robotaxi, sip robot-brewed photo coffee, meet humanoid robots, catch a drone delivery, and step into an exoskeleton.
Four hours living inside tomorrow
You've read that China leapt into the future. This is the afternoon you actually climb inside it—and get hands-on with all of it.
In one fast, thrilling loop you'll take a safe ride in a fully driverless smart car, watch a robotic arm brew a fresh coffee crowned with a printed photo of your face, operate a state-of-the-art humanoid robot and walk a robot dog, step into a real exoskeleton suit, catch a snack flown in by drone, and try Huawei's most mind-bending gadgets. It's the ultimate AI tech sampler, packed into four hours.
Your guide is your key to all of it—handling the local apps, accounts, and language so each stop is a genuine hands-on experience, not a locked door you photograph from the outside.
Curious minds, tech-lovers, families with teens, and business travelers who want to feel China's edge, not just read about it.
Because the future is useless as a spectator sport
Anyone can photograph a robot café from the doorway. The point of this tour is to actually do it—ride the driverless car, drive the humanoid robot, feel the exoskeleton take your weight, watch the drone drop your snack. But the everyday future has a catch for visitors: nearly all of it runs on local apps, bookings, and payment systems a tourist can't easily access. So your guide becomes your key, handling the accounts and the language and turning each stop from a locked door into a hands-on experience—and, if you like, booking you a table at one of the city's most Instagram-famous futuristic restaurants to round it off.
What makes this day special
Ride a robotaxi
A thrilling, safe ride in a fully driverless smart car—no one at the wheel, the city gliding by.
Robot-brewed photo coffee
A robotic arm crafts your coffee, then tops it with a custom-printed photo of your own face.
Humanoid robots & a robot dog
Get hands-on operating a state-of-the-art humanoid robot—and take a robot dog for a walk.
Exoskeleton, drones & Huawei
Feel the power of a wearable exoskeleton, catch a drone delivery, and try Huawei's magic tech.
Your four hours, gadget by gadget
A suggested flow—every stop is flexible, and the newest openings get swapped in as the city moves.
A ride with no one at the wheel
We begin with the thrill that sets the tone: a safe, smooth ride in a fully driverless smart car. Watch the wheel turn itself, the sensors read the traffic, and the city slide past as you simply sit back and grin.
Coffee with your face on it
At a robotic café, an advanced robotic arm grinds, brews, and pours a fresh coffee to order—then finishes it with a custom-printed photo of your own face floating on the crema. Delicious, and gloriously silly.
Drive a humanoid robot & walk a robot dog
Into an interactive robotics lab for the real hands-on stuff: take the controls of a state-of-the-art humanoid robot and put it through its moves, then take a nimble robot dog out for a walk. Yes, really.
Step into a powered suit
Strap into a real high-tech exoskeleton and feel this futuristic wearable take your weight and amplify your strength—a genuinely uncanny taste of where mobility and industry are heading.
A snack, delivered by air
Experience the everyday future of logistics as a delivery drone descends and drops a special snack or drink straight to you—no courier, no queue, just a gentle hum from the sky.
Hands-on with the latest gadgets
We finish the tech loop with Huawei's most jaw-dropping innovations—the gesture controls, screens, and gadgets that feel a year or two ahead of anything back home. Try them for yourself and see.
An Insta-famous futuristic restaurant
We'll set aside a complimentary reservation at one of Shanghai's most photogenic future-themed restaurants—your pick of SpaceLab or Warehouse 3—where the food arrives by twisting slides and robotic rails. Use it or skip it; there's no charge if you don't.
