This National Day holiday, Kunming has gained a brand new cultural tourism landmark. On October 1, the Gate of Tomorrow AI Future Pavilion, located at Aviation Trail 1922 within Alive Park Wujiaba Central Park, made its debut. With the introduction of the Aviation Trail Journey 5D cinema, robot social interaction, and holographic projection theater, Wujiaba's century-old aviation narrative has been pushed toward interstellar coexistence. This also marks the full unveiling of Alive Park Wujiaba Central Park 2.0's upgrade. At this point, the AI Future Pavilion, together with the Wuzhao Intangible Cultural Heritage Experience Center, the Flying Tigers Museum (including the Flying Tigers Cultural Creative Shop), and the Coffee Research Institute, forms a four-pavilion cluster with a complete route of history, humanities, industry, and the future.
Meanwhile, another section of the park, Pengpai City, has also been simultaneously refreshed, with a series of sports events, nighttime activities, and new business formats making a concentrated appearance. Since opening in July this year, the project has rapidly risen to become a popular check-in spot in Kunming, officially completing its iterative upgrade from a sports park to a cultural tourism complex.
One Route Through a Century and Into the Future
As the future chapter of the four pavilions, the Gate of Tomorrow AI Future Pavilion features core highlights including the Aviation Trail Journey 5D cinema, robot social interaction, and holographic projection theater, targeting families with children and educational tour groups. From October 1 to 7, robot interactive parades will be held daily at 14:00 and 18:00. Here, robots are not merely exhibits, but partners that can converse, interact, and co-create.
The Wuzhao Intangible Cultural Heritage Experience Center is positioned as an intangible cultural heritage experience venue. Heritage inheritors are stationed on-site for demonstrations, and silverware, tie-dyeing, and pottery can be viewed and hands-on experience is available. Cultural creative products and educational tours form a consumption loop. On October 1, a Yunnan opera costume experience was simultaneously launched, with professional makeup and attire allowing visitors to instantly step into character. Upon landing in Kunming, one can first change into Yunnan opera attire, take a set of traditional Chinese-style photos, and posting them on social media is equivalent to completing a Kunming landing visa.
The Flying Tigers Museum is the core carrier of Wujiaba's century-old aviation memory. It features a permanent exhibition on Wujiaba's century-old aviation history and culture, combining Flying Tigers relics, Hump Route documents, and flight interactive experiences. Admission is free, and the Flying Tigers Cultural Creative Shop drives consumer conversion. It brings Wujiaba's century-old aviation history back into public view.
The Coffee Research Institute focuses on the entire Yunnan coffee industry chain. From breeding to cupping, visitors can understand Yunnan coffee in one stop. The rainforest setting blends with the park's water system, offering functions of exhibition, check-in, hosting, and light leisure. Leveraging Yunnan's advantage as China's core specialty coffee production region, this place is becoming a new cultural tourism landmark and urban leisure living room in the Wujiaba area.
The four pavilions are fully interconnected, with intangible cultural heritage, Flying Tigers, coffee, and AI forming a clear route, allowing visitors to intuitively feel the iterative upgrade path of Wujiaba 2.0 from sports to cultural tourism complex.
Seven Days, Seven Realms, One Day One Kunming
In conjunction with the 2.0 upgrade, Wujiaba Central Park launched the Folding Kunming 24-Hour Kunming Roaming Guide themed event during the National Day holiday. The core proposition is: if you only have one day in Kunming, give that day to Wujiaba. The event takes past, present, and future as its timeline, with each day from October 1 to October 7 focusing on one thematic dimension, forming a seven days, seven realms spatiotemporal folding experience loop: Tech Folding - Tomorrow's Kunming, Craftsmanship Folding - Intangible Heritage Kunming, Flavor Folding - Coffee Aroma Kunming, Aesthetics Folding - Poetic Kunming, Vitality Folding - Surging Kunming, Dimensional Folding - Soft and Fluffy City, and History Folding - Yesterday's Kunming. Elements such as Yunnan opera, Yunnan coffee, Yunnan tea, basketball, rock climbing, electronic music, robots, and cartoon character check-ins are folded into the same 24 hours, meeting the diverse needs of out-of-town tourists, local youth, and families with children.
Pengpai City Park Simultaneously Refreshed
As another important section of Alive Park Wujiaba Central Park, Pengpai City is adjacent to Aviation Trail 1922 and within walking distance. During the National Day holiday, Pengpai City simultaneously welcomed business format refreshes and a series of competition activities, forming a dual-section linkage of culture plus sports. In terms of sports events, the HYROX Training Club officially authorized half-distance all-around physical challenge leads the lineup, with a 3x3 basketball open tournament, tennis open class, Mushroom Rock Climbing opening race, and fun fluorescent run series also launched. At night, there are limited experiences such as Sky Tree Music, electronic music Baduanjin, and Bali-style outdoor barre. In terms of business formats, outdoor fitness, camping, and coffee have opened in a concentrated manner, covering diverse scenarios such as daytime coffee and nighttime drinks, Moroccan-style dining bars, and tent barbecue. During the National Day holiday, Pengpai City Park forms a holiday consumption scene with food, drinks, entertainment, and fun.
Today's Wujiaba possesses both the historical depth of a century-old airport and the industrial warmth of intangible cultural heritage handicrafts, Yunnan tea, and Yunnan coffee. It also has the futuristic freshness of AI robots, VR innovation, and cute IPs, as well as the sports vitality and nighttime consumption of Pengpai City. Whether it is family educational tours, cultural visits, trendy sports, or nighttime consumption, all can be completed within the same park. This National Day, there is no need to travel far. Make Wujiaba your destination, give a day to Kunming, and come to Folding Kunming to experience the Kunming new landing visa, jointly witnessing Wujiaba sail from a century-old aviation trail toward the future interstellar.
