From December 3 to 5, Hengshan Mountain—the southern peak of the Five Great Mountains—transformed into a “tech hub,” bringing together nearly 300 leading figures from the cultural and tourism sectors as well as tech enthusiasts for an exciting event focused on “AI-powered digitalization of culture and tourism!” As an important practice in the collaborative development of the Five Great Mountains Alliance, this conference—hosted by the China Association of Scenic Spots—not only brought together top-tier attractions such as Huangshan and West Lake but also linked the digital and intelligent explorations of Mount Tai, Mount Hua, Hengshan Mountain, and Songshan Mountain, unlocking a two-way synergy between China’s Five Great Mountains and code.

Young people chasing the latest updates. Smart Culture and Tourism “The Five Great Mountains have already wholeheartedly joined the game! The ‘One-Code Tour’ initiative at Mount Heng in the South serves as a benchmark: Behind the impressive figures of 7.5 million registered users and 967 million yuan in transaction volume lies the convenience of ‘instant entry with a scan,’ as well as AI...” Exoskeleton With its mountaineering assistance and the warm, 24-hour online support provided by “South Yue Little AI,” it’s clear that the Five Great Mountains have long shared a tacit understanding. From Tai Shan’s online reservation system and Hua Shan’s time-slot-based visitor limits, to Wutai Shan’s 5G-enabled “cloud worship,” and now South Yue’s XR immersive experience—these innovations bring millennia-old cultural heritage to life through technological advancement. They prove that AI is not a cold, impersonal tool; rather, it serves as a “cultural translator” that imbues the breathtaking scenery of the Five Great Mountains with even greater warmth and human touch.

The conference venue was bursting with valuable insights—literally "spilling off the screen": 11 benchmark scenic areas shared their smart secrets, and a roundtable forum sparked lively discussions on how AI is giving rise to new formats in cultural and tourism industries. From the Dunhuang Academy’s exploration of cultural digitalization to Alibaba Cloud’s data-driven empowerment practices, everyone reached a unanimous consensus: the transformation of the Five Great Mountains has never been about "showing off technical prowess"; rather, it’s about leveraging technology to solve the age-old dilemma of "balancing preservation and development," truly turning the majestic landscapes of Hengshan Mountain—resembling a moving figure—and Dai Mountain—seeming to sit still—into a sustainable "gold mine of visitor traffic."

During the field visit, the impressive achievements of Nanyue’s smart-city development were truly remarkable: The Nanyue Big Data Center provides real-time monitoring of ecological dynamics, and the Zhurong Mars Exploration Experience Hall seamlessly integrates virtual and real-world elements. These replicable and scalable “templates” can, in the future, empower many other renowned mountains across China, ultimately weaving together a network for the protection and inheritance of China’s wise mountain heritage.

When AI deciphers the intricate textures of the Five Great Mountains, and when technology revives millennia-old cultural memories, the “second growth curve” for the cultural and tourism industry has already been set in motion. In the future, you won’t have to wait for “poetry and distant horizons”—perhaps all it’ll take is scanning a QR code to unlock a brand-new, intelligent experience at the Five Great Mountains: AI-powered forecasts for sunrise views on Mount Tai, smart safety features along the cliffside trails of Mount Hua, and XR-enhanced cloud-sea vistas at Mount Nan Yue—making every summit climb brimming with delightful surprises.
