As international airlines resume operations in response to the recovering global travel demand, the Chinese government has further boosted foreign tourism this year by offering visa-free entry to visitors from various countries, leading to a noticeable increase in tourist arrivals. Now, if you are as well considering a trip to China and wondering where to go, we at Hikvision have a great suggestion for you – the ancient town of Dukezong in the Yunnan Province.

The historic center of Shangri-La city in southwest China, and with a history stretching back over 1,300 years, Dukezong served as a key stop on the South Silk Road. In addition to its geographic significance in trade, it is affectionately known as the 'Moonlight City' for its enchanting beauty under the bright moon. The soft silver sheen that envelops its ancient architecture creates a magical atmosphere, inviting visitors to explore further.

Given that the town is composed of traditional households, ancient temples, and pagodas—predominantly built from brick and wood with many combustible materials and low fire resistance—ensuring fire safety is a top priority. To help minimize fire risks and protect both cultural heritage and the safety of residents and visitors, Hikvision has utilized its innovative products and fire protection platform to deliver a comprehensive fire management solution, safeguarding every brick and tile that bears the weight of history from potential fire hazards.

Early detection of fire hazards

To swiftly detect fire hazards, Hikvision has assisted the town's urban management team in deploying real-time detection equipment for monitoring gas leaks and electrical fire risks, as well as installing these systems in fire protection facilities. This early-stage fire detection allows the urban management team to identify fire hazards promptly and improve the maintenance of fire protection systems.

Holistic fire management in town

To help the government manage the town more comprehensively, Hikvision has developed a smart fire management platform that analyzes monitoring data. It enables fire management personnel to promptly respond to fire warnings displayed on their screens, enabling comprehensive fire control and intelligent dispatching of staff throughout the town.

Currently, this platform has significantly improved the timeliness of fire inspections and rectifications. It has also enhanced the efficiency of maintenance units by reducing the workload for inspection personnel. With smarter fire management in place, the ancient city is now able to offer visitors a more enjoyable experience with greater confidence.

Dedicated to smarter cultural tourism

In addition to the unique ancient town of Dukezong, Hikvision has been leveraging its advanced technologies to enhance management and improve the tourism experience at various other popular destinations.

Beyond various safety management solutions, Hikvision is actively expanding its service experience in the cultural tourism industry, promoting applications such as online livestreaming, AR guides, and digital exhibitions. Through the integration and application of technological innovations, the Company is dedicated to helping tourist sites achieve higher quality and efficiency in tourism management, making every visit more engaging and intelligent.
