(260108) -- TAIYUAN, Jan. 8, 2026 (Xinhua) -- Students view the production lines at Geely Auto's Jinzhong facility in Jinzhong, north China's Shanxi Province, on Dec. 22, 2025. In recent years, factory tours have become a popular addition to the already thriving study tours that Chinese parents are eager to send their children on to broaden their horizons. While earlier tours primarily focused on culture, tourism, and fitness, factory tours have gained popularity driven by China's shift toward high-end, smart, and green manufacturing.
