On September 17th, international influencer Khaby Lame began a two-day cultural tour in Guangzhou, visiting Yongqing Fang and Lingnan Impression Park, where he experienced intangible cultural heritage such as Wing Chun and Cantonese Opera. His videos from the trip have already received more than 1.5 billion views. Six months earlier, the top-tier internet celebrity IShowSpeed also visited Guangdong.

Khaby Lame, a fan of Bruce Lee and the animated film "Ne Zha 2", praised Lingnan culture as uniquely vibrant. IShowSpeed was charmed by the "Dream-Eating Tapir" from Dongguan, a trendy toy inspired by the "Classic of Mountains and Seas". Guangdong promotes Lingnan culture with a strategy of "Chinese essence + global expression," using carriers such as animation and gaming. Games like "Wuthering Waves" from Kuro Games and "Call Me Big Boss" from 37 Interactive Entertainment have drawn widespread attention.

IShowSpeed's trip to Shenzhen further showcased Guangdong's technological strength: he witnessed BYD's "Yangwang" vehicle driving into water, purchased Huawei's triple-folding Mate XT phone, and watched drone food delivery and robot dance battle. Guangdong has ranked first nationwide in regional innovation capacity for eight consecutive years. The province leads in Huawei's 5G, Tencent's digital products, BYD's new energy vehicles, and robotics. The low-altitude economy is also thriving. In the first half of 2025, Guangdong's total foreign trade reached 4.55 trillion yuan, with high-tech product exports increasing by 13.3%, while BYD's car sales in Europe surged.

IShowSpeed gained millions of followers during his China tour. His Douyin account surpassed one million followers in just three days, reaching a total of 5.58 million currently. Reports suggest that MrBeast, dubbed "the world's number one influencer," may visit China in the fourth quarter of this year. At present, "China Travel" has become a traffic password for overseas content creators, and more top influencers are planning to come to China for in-depth experiences, sharing the real China with the world through short videos.
