According to the announcement, Xirang is the first domestic meta-universe that will create a large interactive space for thousands of users to function in.

Metaverse Details
The new virtual world will be created as a Mobius ring planet with Chinese urban design elements and will include cultural elements inside. Users will be able to create their own avatars that can be used for personal meetings, shopping, and communicating with others.
Xirang also includes immersive audio and visual effects to create a deeper immersion into the gaming process. The virtual universe will allow any user to join the global voice chat and communicate with other avatars immediately.

The event will include various companies, technology developers and enthusiasts. Event participants will be discussing modern internet technologies, artificial intelligence and the further development of metaverse tech.
