When foreign tourists first step onto the National Mall in Washington, they usually start by opening the free audio walking tour on their mobile phones - after all, this route, which connects the White House, monuments, and museums, holds the core historical narrative of the United States. But after walking for a while, they will soon realize: Want to hear the diplomatic stories in the Rose Garden of the White House? The horn sound of the sightseeing vehicle on the roadside is louder than the explanation; Want to learn about the origin of the joint seams on the Washington Monument? Even after flipping through the tour settings, there are no options in Japanese or Arabic; When you reach the middle of the Smithsonian Museum complex, the mobile signal suddenly cuts off, and the introduction about the age of the dinosaur fossils is stuck in the loading interface, and you can only take a photo of the exhibit, not even knowing "in which period this fossil lived".
Free guided tours can help tourists find their way, but it is difficult to make them "understand" the historical details along the way. What Yingmi does is to follow this walking route and incorporate the appropriate explanations into each scene - solving the problem of "clearly hearing" in noisy environments, filling the gap of "understanding" in multiple languages, ensuring continuous connection when the signal is weak, and also connecting scattered knowledge points into a story, upgrading the basic function of free guided tours into a deep experience that can touch foreign tourists. You should know that Yingmi has been in the interpretation industry for 15 years and has long been a national high-tech enterprise, supplying products to customers in the EU and the Middle East. It even has all the CE and RoHS certifications. It has a thorough understanding of the needs of foreign tourists.
I. Entrance to the National Mall: Open the "Door of History" in Multiple Languages
When foreign tourists arrive at the entrance of the National Mall, the first problem they often encounter is "language". Most free guided tours only cover English and Spanish, but among the visitors here, there are Japanese families who want to learn about the diplomatic history of the United States and Japan, Middle Eastern visitors who are interested in the American civil rights movement, and European backpackers who want to compare the architectural styles of Europe and America. If they don't understand the language, even the most wonderful history won't reach the tourists' hearts.
Yingmi's multilingual sharing platform can fill this gap - not simply adding a translator, but covering 8 main languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Arabic, etc. It can also be customized for small languages like Portuguese and Korean within 3 days. What's more considerate is that the explanation content will be related to the tourists' cultural background. Previously, Yingmi had a similar solution for the ancient city of Spain, and the local tour guide said that "after the tourists listened, they would actively ask for more details, no longer just taking a photo and leaving".
And this system is extremely simple to operate. Tourists don't need to download complex apps. They can switch languages by pressing the language key on the device, even the elderly can use it easily. For foreign tourists, they no longer have to rely on mobile phone translation software to guess the content. As soon as they enter the Mall, they can understand "why this place became the 'National Living Room' of the United States" in their familiar language, and their interest in the tour immediately increases.
II. Surrounding the White House: Grasp the "Details of Power" Amid the Noise
From the National Mall to the White House, the sound of the sightseeing buses on Pennsylvania Avenue, the guitar sounds of street performers, and the conversations of the crowd all mix together. The sound of the free guided tour is easily "swallowed" by the noise. Once, I saw a French couple who turned up the volume of their mobile phones to the maximum and stuck them to their ears, but still couldn't hear "the layout changes of the Oval Office". In the end, they had no choice but to turn off the guided tour.
Yingmi's digital noise reduction design is specifically for such scenarios - it doesn't rely on "increasing the volume" to cover up the noise, but can precisely filter out those irrelevant noises. When tourists stand outside the White House fence, even if there is a sightseeing bus passing by nearby, they can still hear "which important diplomatic ceremonies were held in the Rose Garden", and even the "reason for changing the color of the White House walls from gray to white" will not be interrupted. This noise reduction technology is Yingmi's patent. It was tested on a waterway cruise ship in Venice, Italy, and could reduce environmental noise by 80%. Tourists don't have to strain to listen to the equipment.
The design of the equipment also follows the habits of foreign tourists - it is an ear-hanging type, not a handheld one. It weighs only 16 grams and hangs on the ear almost without feeling. When tourists take a distant view of the White House, they don't have to rush to carry the equipment, nor worry about it falling on the ground, making the tour more relaxed and reassuring.
III. Washington Monument: Explain the "Stories in the Broken Traces" with Offline Function
When reaching the foot of the Washington Monument, one can immediately notice a distinct seam in the middle of the monument - this is a mark left by the suspension of construction in 1854 due to financial difficulties, and the resumption of construction 28 years later. However, most free guided tours merely mention "constructed in 1884", and they never touch upon the history behind this seam, let alone support the interpretation in minority languages. Once, when encountering a group of German tourists, they spent a long time around the monument, but could only use their mobile phones to look up translations on the English signboards.
Yingmi's self-guided tour system will fill in this part very thoroughly: not only does it explain "the marble used for the reconstruction came from different quarries, resulting in color differences", but it also adds "the public donated 100,000 US dollars, and some children even donated their pocket money, demonstrating Americans' recognition of the founding president". Moreover, considering the abundance of trees around the monument and the often weak mobile signal, this system supports "offline caching" - tourists can download the explanations of the monument at a hotel and play them automatically when they arrive at the site without a signal, and even hear details like "the aluminum pyramid on the top of the monument, which was the most advanced material application at that time".
IV. The Smithsonian Museum Complex: Connecting "Exploration Logic" with Multiple Channels
From the monument to the Smithsonian Museum Complex, the Natural History Museum and the Aerospace Museum are adjacent to each other. The free guided tours can introduce individual exhibits, but it is difficult to connect the contents of different museums - for example, the dinosaur fossils in the Natural History Museum and the lunar landing equipment in the Aerospace Museum, seemingly unrelated, actually both hide the spirit of the Americans' "exploration of the unknown". Once, an Indian family visited the Natural History Museum and saw dinosaurs, but when they arrived at the Aerospace Museum, they were completely bewildered, not knowing the connection between the two.
Yingmi's multi-channel zone-based explanation system can solve this problem: it can string together scattered knowledge points - in the Natural History Museum, it mentions "the Tyrannosaurus rex fossil discovered in 1902, promoting American paleontological research", and at the Aerospace Museum, it connects "the Apollo moon landing in 1969, continuing this exploration spirit, spanning 67 years from studying ancient life on Earth to exploring space". Moreover, with a large number of visitors in the museums, different teams' explanations are prone to interfere with each other. This system supports "multiple channels independent playback", allowing each team to use their own channel. Even in the popular "Star of Hope" diamond exhibition case, tourists will not hear the explanations of other teams, and they can focus on listening to "the discovery process and scientific value of the diamond".
The equipment is still lightweight ear-mounted, and tourists won't feel tired in their ears after 3 hours of visiting the museum. Foreign tourists no longer have to follow the crowd to listen to explanations, they can view the exhibits at their own pace, and can understand "the common logic behind different exhibits", visiting the museum is no longer just "seeing something new", but truly learning something.
V. Not "Substitution", but "Making Free Guided Tours More Valuable"
Yingmi is never intended to replace the free audio walking tour in Washington, but rather, on the basis of the free guided tours, it fills in the details that reduce the experience: providing "guarantees for clear hearing" in noise, "adaptations for understanding" in multiple languages, "stability for continuous connection" in weak signals, and "depth for stories" when the content is shallow.
For Washington, this walking route is not just "scene connection", but an epitome of American history, politics, and culture; for foreign tourists, they do not just want to take "one route", but want to understand the spirit behind this city through every step. What Yingmi does is to make this kind of "understanding" become simple - there's no need to search for translations painstakingly, no need to stand close to listen, no need to worry about loading failures. Every step can be followed by explanations, and one can step into the stories hidden within the buildings, exhibits, and streets. After all, a good tour guide is not someone who "moves quickly and sees a lot", but rather someone who "moves smoothly, understands clearly and remembers well". This is also Yingmi's original intention for 15 years of focusing on the interpretation industry.
