National park guiding tools are never simply "route-tracking devices" - in Yellowstone, they need to clarify the eruption patterns of hot springs plainly; in the Rocky Hills, they must explore the formation background of glaciers; in the Alpine National Forest, they have to describe the growth habits of alpine greenery. But many international travelers, after visiting with the overviews, feel that the experience was "somewhat incomplete": standing next to the hot springs in Yellowstone, just as they were about to hear the eruption system clearly, the voices of the other groups overpowered them; while hiking in the Grand Canyon, the guide explained "the geological ages represented by the rock layers", but the individuals in the back row couldn't hear a word; when encountering tourists who speak a foreign language, the guide could only talk English and rely on translation software to convey sentence by sentence, which was slow and prone to mistakes - in fact, the core value of national park overviews is to explain the valuable knowledge of nature and history plainly, and reliable guiding equipment is the one that helps the overviews precisely deliver the "excellent content" to the travelers' ears.
The work of national park guides is far more complex than visualized. It's not just leading tourists on paths; they also need to take into account "clear description, clear hearing, and safety protection" three things.
Clear description requires both valuable content and clarity. For instance, when guiding tourists through Yellowstone National Park, one can not just say "This is the Old Faithful Hot Spring, which erupts every 90 minutes", but should clarify "Its eruption pressure comes from the underground warm water layer, with a water temperature level of over 90 ° C and an elevation of up to 40 meters"; in Yosemite National Park, when explaining "Why the granite of Half Dome Mountain is so smooth", instead of just asking tourists to take photos, the guide should describe it. But these professional materials are easily "wasted effort" just by speaking - national park visitors are numerous and the venues are spacious; when the wind blows and people chat, the sound disperses and the back-row tourists can't hear plainly.
Safety protection requires timely transmission of reminders. National park terrain is complex, there may be falling rocks and wildlife sightings, and the guide must constantly remind "Don't approach the cliff edge" "Don't feed the animals", these safety reminders must be heard by every tourist, otherwise it can easily lead to danger. Traditional equipment either has a low volume or is easily disturbed, even if shouted loudly, not everyone can hear plainly, adding a lot of trouble for the guide.
The more crucial point is multi-language compatibility. The tourists in national parks come from all over the globe - French, German, Spanish, Japanese tourists, etc. The guide can not master all languages. If only English is used for explanations, foreign tourists can only rely on translation software to guess, they won't understand "the movement speed of the glacier" or "the ecological value of the alpine meadow", and the traveling experience will be greatly reduced. And these pain points are exactly what the Yingmi device can solve. It is not a replacement for the guide, but helps the guide precisely deliver "explanations" and "safety reminders", allowing the guide's professional value to truly be implemented.
The environment of national parks is extremely demanding for equipment - the intense sunlight in Yellowstone Park, the strong wind in the Rocky Hills, the sand and dust in the Grand Canyon. Traditional equipment either can't withstand the exposure to the sunlight and collisions, or is disrupted by the wind and loses signal. While the Yingmi M7 Neck-Worn Tour Guide Device is custom-made for national park scenarios.
Firstly, it has complete anti-damage capabilities. The body is made from splash-proof and wear-resistant materials, even if there is a sudden light rainfall in Yellowstone Park or it accidentally falls on a sandy surface, it won't be easily damaged. Previously, a guide led a group to the Grand Canyon, and suddenly it rained, the M7 was soaked for more than ten minutes, but after drying out, it still worked normally, without any malfunction. Moreover, its shell is resistant to sunshine, even in the intense sun of Yellowstone Park for half a day, the body doesn't get hot and won't affect usage.
Battery life is also a comfort for the guide. The M7 can last for over 16 hours after a single charge. It suffices for a full-day tour of a national park. Even if you set off at 8 a.m. and return at 10 p.m., the device will not suddenly shut down. What's more, it has a low battery alert function. When the battery level drops below 20%, it will automatically notify the tour guide. The guide can quickly recharge the device while the tourists are resting, without worrying about power outages in the middle of the journey.
Stable signal is crucial for outdoor interpretation. The M7 uses RFID sensing technology + 4GFSK signal modulation. Even in the valleys and woodlands of national parks, the signal will not fail. When the tour guide leads the group on a hike, tourists, even if they are scattered and taking photos 200 meters away, can clearly hear the safety reminder "There are rocks falling ahead, be careful with your footing". When reaching the scenic spot, the device will automatically trigger the interpretation, without the need for the tour guide to manually press the button, such as at Old Faithful Hot Spring in Yellowstone, as soon as the tourists stand still, it will automatically play "Why is the eruption cycle of this hot spring so regular", with a natural and convenient connection.
The operation is also simple, easy for both the tour guide and the tourists to master. When tourists receive the device, they can turn it on and automatically connect to the tour guide's transmitter without the need for manual channel adjustment; the volume can be freely adjusted, and elderly tourists can also hear clearly. The device weighs only 50 grams and can be hung around the neck without being uncomfortable, allowing tourists to climb mountains and take photos without any delay. It is much more comfortable than holding a heavy guidebook.

During my visit to Yellowstone National Park, I had the privilege of accompanying Maria, a 15-year veteran ranger, on a dawn patrol to a lesser-known geyser basin hidden beyond the main trails. Maria’s boots crunched on frost-covered soil as she explained, “Most tourists never see this area—they stick to Old Faithful, but these smaller geysers tell a more intimate story of Yellowstone’s geothermal heart.”
As we approached a cluster of steaming vents, Maria pointed to a tiny geyser barely a meter tall. “This one’s called ‘Whispering Sprite,’” she said. “It erupts every 25 minutes, but only for 30 seconds. The Indigenous tribes who’ve lived here for millennia used its cycles to track time for hunting and gathering.” She knelt down, brushing her hand over the warm soil. “The water here is 102°C—hot enough to boil an egg—but the bacteria around the vent create those rainbow hues. They’re extremophiles, thriving in conditions that would kill most life.”
We waited in silence as the geyser rumbled to life, shooting a thin stream of water and steam into the cool morning air. Maria pulled out a weathered notebook, flipping to a page filled with hand-drawn maps and notes. “I’ve been tracking Whispering Sprite for five years,” she said. “Its cycle has shortened by 2 minutes since 2020—probably due to subtle changes in underground water pressure. It’s a tiny clue to what’s happening beneath the park’s surface.”
As the sun rose, painting the sky in hues of pink and orange, Maria shared stories of rescuing lost hikers, monitoring wildlife migrations, and advocating for the park’s protection. “Yellowstone isn’t just a collection of geysers and bears,” she said. “It’s a living, breathing system. My job is to protect it, but also to help people connect with it—really connect, not just take a photo and leave.”
We encountered a family of bison grazing nearby, their shaggy coats glistening with dew. Maria froze, gesturing for me to stay quiet. “They’re moving to lower elevations for the winter,” she whispered. “See the calf? It’s only a few months old. The herd sticks together to protect the young from wolves.” We watched for ten minutes, the bison’s heavy hooves thudding softly on the earth, before they ambled away into the trees.
By the time we returned to the main trail, the park was waking up with crowds of tourists. Maria smiled, “Your Yingmi device can tell people the facts, but stories like Whispering Sprite’s—those are what make people care. That’s the real magic of these parks.” Her words stuck with me as I joined the crowds, realizing that while technology can unlock information, it’s the human connection to the land that makes a visit unforgettable.
For independent travelers abroad, the Yingmi C7S self-guided tour device is suitable for both tour guides and tourists. It can divert some tourists from the tour guide, making the group tour smoother and eliminating the need to accommodate too many demands.
The multi-language function of C7S is extremely practical. It defaults to supporting 8 mainstream languages and can be customized with minority languages based on the tourist sources of the national park. French tourists can listen to "The formation principle of Yellowstone hot springs", German tourists can learn about "The geological story of the Grand Canyon rock layers", without relying on translation software, and understand plainly. Moreover, it remembers the language selected by the tourists last time and defaults to it the next time it is turned on, without the need for repeated settings, making it particularly friendly for foreign tourists who are not familiar with the Chinese interface.
Anti-interference ability is especially important in crowded tourist spots. Popular tourist spots in national parks are often crowded with tourists, such as Old Faithful Hot Spring in Yellowstone and the Half Dome Mountain in Yosemite. Ordinary devices are prone to interference and will skip content halfway through. The C7S uses digital encoding area recognition technology, setting exclusive signal codes for each scenic spot. Even if there are other groups' devices nearby, there will be no interference, and tourists can clearly hear "The next eruption time of the hot spring" and "The best shooting angle at the viewing platform".
The content storage is also sufficient. C7S can store multiple sets of explanations. Each niche scenic spot and each unique animal or plant in the national park can be independently recorded with a description. What's more, C7S supports NFC touch + automatic sensing dual modes. In popular tourist spots with a large crowd, use the touch function, tourists can trigger the interpretation by touching the NFC card near the scenic spot, avoiding accidental touch; in less crowded hiking routes, use the automatic sensing mode, and it will automatically play when you reach the corresponding area, without the need for manual operation, making it more comfortable to explore.
For park managers, cooperating with Yingmi is convenient. Yingmi's "9G Lifecycle Service" is particularly thoughtful: Before sale, they conduct on-site investigations of the terrain and signal environment of the national park and adjust the equipment settings according to the distribution of the scenic spots; in peak tourist seasons when equipment is insufficient, urgent orders can be dispatched from the nearby warehouse on the same day. Free technical training is also provided, teaching staff how to manage the equipment, update and refine the content, so that the management side doesn't have to worry about the trivial matters related to the equipment.
The beauty of national parks lies in the moment of the gushing of hot springs, the texture of glaciers, and the stories of rock layers. The value of a tour guide is to convey these "invisible essentials" to tourists. And Yingmi's M7 and C7S devices help tour guides precisely and clearly convey these materials - there's no more worry about not being heard plainly, no more regret for language barriers, and no more anxiety about the equipment being unable to withstand the outdoor environment. For foreign tourists, only by following such a tour guide to visit national parks can they truly understand the wonder of nature; for tour guides, having such reliable equipment to partner with enables them to focus more on sharing knowledge and ensuring safety, becoming the "professional and caring" good guide in the hearts of tourists.
How many minority languages can the Yingmi C7S be customized to support?It can be customized to support up to 12 minority languages (e.g., Swedish, Arabic, Portuguese) based on the specific needs of national parks or tour groups. The customization process takes 3-5 working days, and travelers can request this service when renting or purchasing the device.
Is the Yingmi M7 suitable for use in extreme temperatures, such as Yellowstone’s winter?Yes, it is designed to operate in a temperature range of -20°C to 50°C (-4°F to 122°F), making it suitable for Yellowstone’s frigid winters and scorching summers. Its battery performance remains stable even in extreme cold, and the splash-proof design works in snow and light rain.
Can the Yingmi C7S be rented at multiple locations within a national park?Yes, Yingmi has set up self-service rental cabinets at key locations in major national parks, including trailheads, visitor centers, and scenic overlooks. Travelers can rent and return the device at different locations, and payment supports international credit cards and mobile payment platforms.
