On April 13, Amap officially released the "Explore Beijing" Street Discovery List (“畅游北京”扫街榜) with a cultural tourism map, as well as a "Vibrant Beijing Support Program" (烟火北京支持计划), which can promote in-depth integration of culture, tourism and commerce through digital and intelligent approaches, supporting Beijing's development as an international consumption center city.
The first release features eight themed sub-lists, covering intangible cultural heritage experiences, hutong cuisine, former residences of celebrities, ecological birdwatching spots and so on, with over 300 cultural tourism consumption destinations selected.
In addition, Beijing has also introduced the "Explore Beijing" Cultural Tourism Map (“畅游北京”文旅地图). Designed around smart recommendations, public-oriented services and interactive sharing, the map systematically integrates resources of the spots in the list, premium travel routes and featured consumption scenarios. It also launches an AI Cultural Tourism Assistant providing 24-hour consultation and personalized itinerary planning, which upgrades traditional maps from basic search and navigation to a full-scenario smart service platform for recommendations, sightseeing and consumption.
