The Mazu Ancestral Temple in Fujian Province, as the core birthplace of the global Mazu belief, welcomes millions of tourists from all over the world every year. There are devout worshippers, teachers leading students on study tours, and independent travelers exploring on their own. The tour guide service here used to be a headache – if you wanted to find a human guide, you had to make an appointment several days in advance during the peak season, and the cost was not low. Sometimes you had to wait in line for half a day but still couldn’t get a chance. Rent a traditional tour guide device, you have to pay a deposit and register your information. Not only is it troublesome to operate, but the signal is also constantly disconnected in the ancient building complex. Foreign tourists, due to the language barrier, can only watch the thousand-year-old relics for fun and have no way to understand the cultural stories behind them. It was not until the introduction of the Yingmi tour guide system that these problems were gradually solved: tourists could simply scan a code to listen to explanations in multiple languages. During group Tours, the signal was stable and clear. The scenic area no longer needed to have so many tour guides, and the operating costs dropped significantly. The feedback from tourists was also getting better and better. In fact, many historical sites have similar problems. So, which brand of wireless audio guide is truly suitable for the needs of historical sites? With over a decade of experience in the industry, Yingmi’s explanation might provide the answer.
I.The Unspoken Secrets of Historical Site Explanations
Historical sites are different from ordinary scenic spots. Most of them have spacious areas and scattered buildings. Tourists come from all over the country and have diverse demands. Traditional interpretation methods have long been unable to keep up with the pace. These pain points are deeply felt by almost every operator of historical sites.
1.Manual explanations simply can’t meet the demand
The interpretation of historical sites is no casual talk. One needs to have a good understanding of history and culture. It takes several years to train a reliable guide, and the cost is extremely high. During the peak season, a medium-sized historical site can attract several thousand visitors a day. With just a few tour guides, they simply can’t keep up. Tourists often have to queue for two or three hours and can only listen to the explanations for half an hour in the end. During the off-season, the tour guides are idle again, and the labor cost is wasted in vain. More importantly, manual explanations cannot satisfy everyone – group tourists have to follow a fixed route, and individual tourists who want to stay a little longer have to rush along. Foreign tourists want to understand the cultural connotations but cannot find tour guides who can speak minor languages, so they can only have a cursory look.
2.Traditional interpretation equipment is not user-friendly
Those ordinary wireless audio guides available on the market tend to fail when placed in historical sites. Most ancient buildings are made of brick, stone or wood, with weak signal penetration. As soon as the equipment enters the courtyard or passes through the corridor, the connection is cut off. The explanations are listened to for a while but then missed for a while, resulting in a particularly poor experience for tourists. Moreover, the battery life of these devices is not good either. They need to be charged several times a day. During peak season, it often happens that “tourists are waiting to use them, but the devices run out of power”. It is also troublesome to manage. A dedicated person needs to be responsible for registration, leasing, charging and disinfection. It is both labor-intensive and not worry-free. Not to mention that some of the equipment is not shock-resistant or waterproof. Most historical sites are outdoors, exposed to wind and sun, and even if they are occasionally bumped, the equipment is prone to damage.
3.Tourists have different demands, making it difficult to take them all into account
Visitors to historical sites come in all kinds of ways: study tour groups need to listen to detailed historical backgrounds and architectural techniques. Foreign tourists need precise multilingual translation. Elderly tourists hope for clear sound and simple operation. Young individual tourists just want to wander freely and be able to listen to explanations at any time. The traditional interpretation mode is either a “one-size-fits-all” approach, where everyone listens to the same content, or it fails to cater to one group but not another. As a result, everyone’s visiting experience is compromised and the culture is not truly spread.
II. Practical Solutions for the Interpretation of Historical Sites
Yingmi is not merely about selling equipment. Instead, it has developed a one-stop solution based on the actual conditions of historical sites, taking into account every aspect of interpretation services.
1.Both individual travelers and groups can be taken care of
Most historical sites receive both individual and group visitors at the same time. The combination of Yingmi’s “QR code tour guide system + team tour guide device” can precisely cover all groups of people. Individual tourists can scan the code to freely explore, stop wherever they want and listen for as long as they like. Group tourists follow the tour guide with wireless devices, maintaining a unified pace and being able to interact and ask questions.
Just like the Yang Jingyu Memorial Hall, a red historical site, individual visitors can scan the code to gradually learn about the heroic deeds behind the exhibits. They can delve into any detail they want. Group tourists follow the tour guide, listen to the system’s explanations via wireless devices, and conduct immersive research and study. The two do not interfere with each other, and the experience is both good. Scenic spots do not need to implement multiple systems. A single combined solution can address all issues, significantly enhancing the coverage of services.
2.Scenic area management is more worry-free and efficient
The Yingmi Tour Guide System has an intelligent back-end. Managers can view the QR code scanning data in real time and know which scenic spot has the most tourists. Based on this, they can adjust the detail of the tour guide content, such as adding more historical details to popular scenic spots and simplifying the content for less popular ones, to make the tour guide more in line with the needs of tourists.
For team equipment, there is also a dedicated magnetic charging and disinfection box. It can quickly charge 50 devices at a time and fully charge them in one hour. It can also sterilize with ozone simultaneously, which saves time and is hygienic. There is no need for a dedicated person to charge and disinfect each device one by one. The update of the explanation content is also convenient. The staff of the scenic area can operate the back-end by themselves without having to find professional technicians. Whether it is supplementing historical materials or updating activity information, it can be quickly handled, keeping the explanation content of the historical site fresh all the time.
3.No need to worry about international services
Many historical sites are visited by foreign tourists. With years of experience in foreign trade, Yingmi’s products have long passed international certifications such as the EU CE and RoHS, and have been exported to many countries including Spain, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates, fully meeting international standards.
The multilingual explanations cover the major languages around the world. If the scenic area has special needs, it can also customize in niche languages, allowing foreign tourists to accurately understand the cultural value of the historical sites. Whether it’s an ancient castle in Europe or a religious site in Southeast Asia, the equipment of Yingmi can adapt to different climatic conditions and usage habits. The signal is stable and the explanations are clear, so there’s no need to worry about foreign tourists not understanding or not being able to understand due to language barriers.
III. Why do many historical sites choose Yingmi?
Yingmi has become a preferred brand for historical sites not through promotion, but through over a decade of industry accumulation and real cases. Since its establishment in 2007, Yingmi has served many historical sites such as the Mazu Ancestral Temple in Meizhou, the Wangjiaba Flood Control Memorial Hall, and the Yang Jingyu Memorial Hall, as well as well-known institutions like the National Museum of Chinese Nationalities and the Henan Provincial Museum. Its products have been exported to many countries around the world and have always enjoyed a good reputation.
These cooperation cases all prove the strength of Yingmi: At the Mazu Ancestral Temple in Meizhou, the QR code tour guide system enabled foreign tourists to understand the thousand-year-old inheritance of the sea god belief. At the Yang Jingyu Memorial Hall, the team tour guide equipment enabled the study tour team to have a deeper understanding of the red history. In the ancient castle project exported to Spain, the multilingual explanations and stable signals have particularly satisfied the local scenic spots. Moreover, Yingmi is a national high-tech enterprise with multiple core patents. The quality of its equipment is guaranteed, and the record of zero accidents for tens of millions of devices also makes the operators of historical sites more at ease.
For historical sites, the audio guide is not merely a tool for transmitting sound; it is also a bridge connecting tourists and culture. The QR code tour guide system and team tour guide equipment of Yingmi Interpretation not only solve the problem of tourists’ “not understanding and not being easy to use”, but also help scenic spots reduce operating costs, improve management efficiency, and enable historical culture to be better disseminated. Whether you want to enhance the service level for international tourists or optimize the tour guide experience for individual and group visitors, Yingmi can provide suitable solutions.
