A Rhino Battery Safety Experience dedicated line was set up on site, visitors can observe solid-state battery exhibits up close, watch extreme safety demonstrations of battery piercing and cell squeezing followed by soaking in water, and personally participate in safety challenges. Transforming obscure technical parameters into visible, touchable, and perceptible experiences, Chery attempts to tell the audience in this way: Safety is not a parameter written in the configuration sheet, but a bottom line that can withstand extreme tests. A science popularization space oriented towards teenagers, "Chery Future Classroom", was also specially set up within the booth.

Facing the young consumer group, Chery's layout is not limited to products. On August 22, the first day of the audience day, Chery opened the "Ultimate Looks Theme Day" in Hall 5 - Good-looking people, good-looking cars, and good-looking booths gathered together.
