Beijing's Robot World: Ride, Play & Dine in the Future

In Beijing's E-Town, you don't just watch the future—you ride in it, challenge it to a game of chess, and let it make your lunch. This is not a glimpse of what's coming. This is what's already here, and you are part of it.

More Than a Visit

See Tomorrow, Lived Today — Not on a Screen, but Beside You

A Walk Into TomorrowWhere machines don't replace life—they become part of it

Most people encounter the future through news clips and product launches. Here, you step into it. You hail a self-driving car like a local, walk among robots that run marathons and crack jokes, then sit down for a meal prepared by mechanical arms that paint your portrait in foam. This is not a demonstration. This is a day in a city that builds what others only imagine.

Experience Highlights

What Makes it Memorable

From hidden viewpoints to a private sunset tea, this is the Great Wall as your own.

Meet the Robots

Challenge a Robot to Chess, Basketball, or Small Talk

At Robot World, you trade moves with an AI chess master, shoot hoops against a mechanical arm, and ask "Einstein" a science question—just to hear him answer in character.

Ride the Future

Hail a Self-Driving Cab — and Actually Enjoy the Ride

Your guide shows you how to summon an autonomous vehicle. Then you sit back, watch the wheel turn itself, and feel the quiet thrill of being driven by code.

Dine With Machines

Watch Your Lunch Being Made — by Robots Who Perform

At the robot-themed restaurant, a mechanical bartender mixes drinks, a robot flips your pancake, and a barista sketches your face onto your coffee. The future tastes better than you'd expect.

The Closer Moment

One Coffee, One Portrait, One Moment That Feels Like Yours

The robot barista doesn't just pour your latte—it draws your face on the foam. You watch the mechanical arm trace your smile, line by line, and for a second, the machine doesn't feel like a machine. It feels like a collaborator. You take a photo, take a sip, and realize the future isn't cold. It's curiously personal.
