Strolling through flower markets, receiving lai see (red packets), visiting lantern fairs, watching lion dances and fish lantern dances… celebrating the Chinese New Year in Guangzhou is both an immersive feast of Lingnan folk customs and a smart journey where tradition meets modern innovation. As the cultural center of Lingnan, Guangzhou is preserving thousand-year New Year traditions while using technology to refresh the holiday experience.

During the Year of the Horse holiday, the Guangzhou Municipal Culture, Radio, Television and Tourism Bureau has partnered with China Telecom Corporation Limited to launch the "AI Tour Guangzhou" assistant. Powered by DeepSeek large-model technology, it offers intelligent, personalized cultural and tourism services for visitors to the city. What plays the biggest role during this holiday is the feature "AI Crowd-peak Avoidance," allowing users to view heat maps of visitor density of Guangzhou's 5A-level and 4A-level tourist attractions in real time and forecast crowd levels over the next hour. This helps travelers plan their itineraries scientifically, avoid rush hours, and enjoy a more comfortable sightseeing experience.

"AI Tour Guangzhou" not only enhances the visitor experience but also showcases Guangzhou's smart approach to building a world-class tourism destination. Spending the Chinese New Year in Guangzhou, visitors can admire the flowers, immerse themselves in local customs, and experience the city's unique charm where tradition and technology thrive together.
