Bama Yao autonomous county in Hechi is transforming into a pilot model of public cultural services by launching audio service in libraries and scenic spots.

Baimo Cave Scenic Spot has become the county's first tourist area offering audio service, helping strengthen publicity and promotion, as well as upgrading smart tourism services.

Tourists are able to listen to the audio guide of the scenic spot, accessing information on the health and wellness features, as well as longevity culture of Bama by scanning QR codes at the tourist service center, entrance, and Tiankeng with their mobile phones.

Tourists can listen to the introduction of the corresponding attractions in real time according to the geographic location of the attractions or they can save and listen to them while walking. In addition, visitors can learn about Bama longevity culture through eight customized sound postcards of the scenic spot.

Tourists can also record their own sound postcards on site and hang them on the prayer trees in the scenic area.

Here, people can listen to a large amount of high-quality content and obtain more knowledge and information, spanning traditional history and culture, domestic and foreign political science, news, social finance and economics, popular science, as well as parent-child education to help people broaden their horizons.
