Following the conclusion of the second World Humanoid Robot Games, the "Hi FUN" Robot Leisure Market, hosted by the Chaoyang District Government and organized by Capital Langyuan, has officially come to a close. This market served as the core experiential zone within the district's three-tier consumption strategy aimed at integrating culture, commerce, tourism, sports, and exhibitions. Launched on July 26 with the "Robot Chefs Assemble" and the "Future Light Theatre," the event showcased its full lineup from August 22 to 26, with the five days spanning the games' opening and closing ceremonies marking the peak consumption period.
During this busy stretch, daily spending hit a high of over 210,000 yuan, demonstrating a powerful ability to draw foot traffic and convert it into sales. By stepping beyond the competitive arena, the market transformed the National Speed Skating Oval into Beijing's first large-scale robot lifestyle bazaar, putting frontier technology through a vivid real-world stress test in everyday consumer settings. When fully operational, the market featured 70 specialized stalls, with 28 manned by robots themselves, and over half of the participating robotics companies hailing from Chaoyang District.
Visitors encountered a diverse mix of experiences, from coffee brewing and food preparation to unmanned retail, human-machine chess matches, collaborative calligraphy, and interactive performances. Unlike static tech exhibitions, the market adopted an open-street layout where robotic arm latte art, pancake and cotton candy-making robots, robot horse parades, AI-powered mascot sales, and interactive pet robots created an immersive atmosphere. Families and spectators could touch, taste, and play with embodied intelligence, turning abstract technology into tangible daily life.
When humanoid robots left the competitive arena to meet the vibrant energy of cultural consumption, a powerful fusion of tech and humanity unfolded. Capital Langyuan repurposed five dome tents left by the first World Humanoid Robot Games to stage "Tomorrow's Odyssey: A Journey to the Future," an immersive media exhibition featuring 12 pieces from nearly 20 artists, including VR works and films. Divided into four sections—Departure, Deep Dive, Convergence, and Return—the show took audiences on a multidimensional journey through the symphony of carbon-based and silicon-based life. The market also set up a second live-viewing area by the lake, broadcasting events in real-time, which transformed into an open-air cinema between competitions, screening films like "The Wandering Earth 2" and "Robot Dreams" to spark reflection on the relationship between humans, technology, and the cosmos.
Over 10,000 attendees, mainly families, participated in the market's stamp-collecting interactive challenges. Children moved from station to station, playing Go against robots, writing calligraphy with robotic arms, and mimicking robot dances, while parents captured and shared the moments, creating a harmonious blend of adult enjoyment and child-led tech discovery. These activities served as more than entertainment; they were a gateway to future technological literacy. Through these engagements, the market also drove over 10,375 new followers to the games' official social media account, boosting its visibility and building a valuable private traffic base.
To deepen Chaoyang's "One Competition, One Park, One Zone" robotics strategy, Capital Langyuan hosted the "Robotics Industry Think Tank" on August 25 at the main venue. The event brought together over 20 robotics firms, including Beijing Humanoid, Ruierman, Lingxin Qiaoshou, Acceleration Evolution, and Galaxy General, with more than 20 leading investors in hard tech and embodied intelligence, such as China Venture Capital, CRRC Fund, Junlian Capital, and Fengnian Capital. Government officials from Beijing and Chaoyang District joined the dialogue, focusing on technology upgrades, real-world applications, and commercialization hurdles, collectively charting a course for the industry's growth in the district.
The journey of cross-disciplinary innovation is far from over. Capital Langyuan has long explored the intersection of technology and cultural consumption, from the 7NOTE Robot Star Field at Langyuan Vintage to this robot market, consistently applying its cultural park operational expertise to large-scale tech events. This market channeled the tournament's excitement into lasting consumer engagement, while the industry think tank converted the event's momentum into tangible sector growth. Moving forward, Capital Langyuan will continue leveraging its cultural scenario strengths to merge technology, culture, and consumption, bringing more frontier innovations into urban public spaces. This effort marks both a vivid exploration by Capital Group to strengthen the "Langyuan" urban cultural brand and a pragmatic commitment by Beijing's state-owned enterprises to support the city's integrated development of culture, commerce, tourism, sports, and exhibitions through cultural innovation.
