The historic Shanhai Pass -- one of the most easternmost bastions on China's Great Wall -- presents an unlikely cultural mashup with traditional lion dance performed by robotic dog dancers on Thursday -- the first day of the ongoing five-day May Day holiday in China.
The "Wisdom Dance of Lions" show at the Old Dragon's Head scenic spot of Shanhai Pass, where the Great Wall dips into the Bohai Sea, featured a pack of robotic lions dancing in sync with human lion dancers, drew thousands of tourists during the holiday season.
Four "mechanic lions" powered by artificial intelligence (AI) can respond to hand gestures from curious children via sensors.
"I get to feel the charm of the most cutting-edge technology on this old Great Wall pass. The May Day holiday is well worth it," said Zhu Zhi, a tourist from east China's Jiangxi Province.
The Shanhai Pass tourist attraction authorities have also brought about other colorful and innovative activities to celebrate the five-day holiday of the International Workers' Day, including live battle drum performance, ancient style naked-eye 3D night tour, and light shows.
The Shanhai Pass, located in north China's Hebei Province, is the eastern end of the country's Great Wall known as the "First Pass Under Heaven". It was listed as a World Heritage Site as part of the Great Wall by UNESCO in 1987.
