As the Thames River just emerged from a thin layer of morning mist, the red-tiled tower of the Tower of London stood there, exuding centuries of strength - the arrow marks on the battlements still carried the scent of medieval warfare, and the stone walls of the White Tower were lined with tales of the Tudor dynasty, while the glass cabinets of the Crown Jewels showcased each diamond, shining with the light of the royal transition. Every year, over 3 million foreign tourists come here to explore history, but they often get stuck: wanting to hear which queen wore the crown, the mobile tour only recognizes English and French; when approaching to take a look at the armor belonging to whom, the voices of the people around directly drowned out the explanation; in the remote corners with poor signal, just as the story of the traitor was half-told, it suddenly cut off, leaving one to stare blankly.
But with Yingmi's audio tour, these disappointments turn into "listening to the story up close". It doesn't consider itself a "thing that just makes sounds", but follows the historical thread of the Tower of London, using multilingual, noise-reducing, and contextually relevant content, allowing tourists from any country to clearly hear each royal story - from the legendary diamonds on the crown to the image of the monarch hidden in the armor, and to the weighty atmosphere of the traitor's door, all can clearly emerge in the ear.
Crown Jewels Exhibition: Exploring the royal stories behind the diamonds
As soon as you enter the Crown Jewels Exhibition, the Cullinan II diamond on the Imperial Crown makes people dizzy. Japanese tourists point at the crown and ask, "Which queen wore this when she was crowned?" Middle Eastern tourists are curious, "Are there similar concepts for gemstones in Islamic culture?" European tourists want to know, "Is digging diamonds related to the royal power?" - But most general tours only recognize English and French, and the rest can only guess with mobile translation software, missing many details.
Yingmi's audio tour just fills this gap. Its multilingual platform has been designed from the beginning for foreign tourists, with 8 commonly used languages including English, French, German, Japanese, Arabic, and Spanish. No additional translation is needed by the tour guide. What's more, the explanations are not dry word-for-word recitations, but follow the tourists' cultural habits: when talking to Japanese tourists, "The coronation crown of Queen Elizabeth II" is explained by pointing and saying, "It's somewhat like the crown of the Japanese Emperor, but this one in the UK is more focused on the overseas territories represented by the gemstones"; when chatting with Middle Eastern tourists, "The diamond on the scepter" is supplemented with, "In Islamic culture, diamonds represent eternity, which aligns perfectly with the British royal aspiration of 'continuously holding power'."
More importantly, in the crowded jewelry exhibition hall, where voices and camera shutters mix together, the sound of ordinary tours has long faded away. Yingmi's digital noise reduction technology can filter out most of these noises - without having to stand right in front of the display case, even standing outside the crowd, the explanation can clearly reach your ears, including "A blue gemstone on the crown was repaired in 1852" - such small details won't be missed.
White Tower: Multiple channels for multiple groups of tourists to listen to their own stories, clearly hearing the monarch's story in the armor
The White Tower is the core of the Tower of London. On the first floor, medieval royal armor is displayed, and on the second floor, the weapons of Henry VIII are hidden. Here, there are often several groups of foreign tourists at the same time - the German group wants to hear "How did the armor used for warfare protect against enemies?" The French group wants to know "Is the size of the armor related to the weight of the monarch?" If using the old-style tour, it's very easy to have the joke of "You talk your own, I listen my own, and as a result, the two of us are listening to each other out of sync."
Yingmi's multi-channel zone-based explanation is particularly suitable for this scenario. It can give each group of tourists a separate "sound channel", using radio frequency technology to automatically recognize where the team is - when the German group reaches the "15th Century Armor Area", the explanation automatically switches to "How does the armor protect against enemy attacks"; The French team stopped in front of "Henry VIII's Armor", and the content focused on "The waistband of the armor has increased from 32 inches to 48 inches, indicating that Henry VIII became overweight in his later years". The two teams were close to each other but did not disturb each other.
The guide also saved himself the trouble of shouting "Everyone gather around to listen", and the controller in his hand could add a couple of words at any time.
Bloody Tower: Offline Tour Unveils Secret Stories of the Royal Family in Narrow Spaces
Ascending the spiral staircase to the Bloody Tower, the space suddenly became narrower - here, the Edward V brothers were once imprisoned, and there are still marks left on the wall made by prisoners. Foreign tourists approached the counter to want to know "Why were the two brothers imprisoned?", but the signal inside the tower was very poor, and the ordinary tour often got stuck at "loading while rotating", and could only guess at the textual explanations.
The exhibits in the tower were crowded, and some cabinets were only a meter apart. The ordinary tour was prone to "confusing the location" - when reaching the A exhibit, the B exhibit's explanation was played. Yingmi's sensing technology could precisely recognize the position with an error of no more than one meter. When reaching the "portrait of the two brothers", only their story would be played, and it would not stray to the "guard log" explanation on the other side.
The equipment design was also thoughtful. It was ear-mounted, which was very light to hold in hand, and did not shake while climbing the stairs. It was not in-ear type either, which was hygienic. Foreign tourists did not have to worry about "whether the shared equipment was clean".
The Gate of Traitor: Attach Scene Explanations to Make the Deep History Touchable
From the White Tower to the Gate of Traitor, the atmosphere suddenly became tense - this door was once the "last step" for prisoners to enter the Tower of London, and Anne Boleyn, Catherine Howard, and other members of the royal family all passed through here and were eventually executed. Foreign tourists stood in front of the door, looking at the mottled door panel, wondering "What was it like at that time?", but the ordinary tour simply said "This is the door for traitors to enter", and many details were not mentioned.
Yingmi's audio tour would adjust the tempo according to the historical atmosphere here, slowing down the speech and using a solemn tone: "On May 1536, Anne Boleyn was persuaded to commit adultery and treason, entering the Tower of London through this door. She was wearing a black velvet gown and holding a prayer book. People outside shouted, some remained silent - she was once the beloved queen of Henry VIII, but in the end, she became a victim of power struggle."
The explanation would also mention some "touchable" details: "The marks on the lintel were not worn by time, but made by prisoners with their fingernails or small knives. Some were abbreviations of names, some were crosses. They wanted to leave a mark of their presence in despair; the door was originally made of wood, and after more prisoners passed through, the wood rotted, so it was replaced with the current iron door."
A South American tourist said after listening: "I knew from the materials that Anne Boleyn was executed before, and now standing here, listening to these details, it seems as if I can imagine her mood at that time, it's really more touching than watching a documentary."
Foreign tourists and partners choose the tour not only for "good use", but also pay special attention to "reliability" - after all, it needs to be used in Europe. Certification must be complete, and after-sales must not fail. Yingmi had been in the foreign trade business since 2009, passed the EU CE and RoHS certifications, the equipment voltage supports 100-240V for global use, and could be used in the Tower of London without needing to purchase a converter separately.
Each device must be tested at least five times before leaving the factory. From the first one to now, there have been no safety incidents, and it has been insured by a well-known insurance company. Foreign customers do not have to worry about the risk of "equipment malfunction".
Conclusion: Not only the tour, but also the "good ears" for listening to the history of the royal family
The beauty of the Tower of London is not simply "This building is pretty", but rather the "warm little details" hidden within it - the flowing diamonds on the crown, the monarch's shadow in the armor, the carvings of prisoners on the door panels. Yingmi's audio tour doesn't consider itself a "tool for understanding history", but rather helps foreign tourists find "a good ear to hear these details": by breaking down language barriers with multiple languages, filtering out environmental noise with noise reduction, solving signal problems with offline mode, and ensuring that every royal story can be clearly and completely conveyed to the tourists' minds.
As the setting sun casts a golden glow on the tower of the Tower of London, tourists remove their audio tour devices, and what they remember is not just "This is the Crown Jewels Gallery, and that is the Bloody Tower", but also "Which coronation ceremony did a certain diamond witness, and what despair lies behind that carving" - this is the true value of the Tower of London, and this is what Yingmi wants to do: to make history not just "seen", but "understood" and "remembered", becoming a vivid memory in their hearts.
