Convention with cutting-edge technology will be out of this world

Visitors to the China Science Fiction Convention 2025, to be held from Friday to Monday at Beijing's Shougang Park, will be greeted by a dazzling blend of cutting-edge technology and boundless imagination.

The event's opening ceremony will set the tone with a fusion of virtual reality, immersive 3D projections, and a lifelike bionic robot named Huanhuan engaging in witty banter with a human host.

Among the crowd-pleasers will be an 8-meter-tall sci-fi themed installation at the No 3 Blast Furnace South Square. Covering about 70 square meters, it combines elements of space exploration and ecology, offering a visually stunning blend of science fiction and trendy culture that's set to become a permanent "internet-famous photo spot" in western Beijing.
