Chinese cultural traditions are taking on a touch of technology as tech giants leverage Chinese consumers' enthusiasm for all things digital.

The annual lantern festival at the historic Yuyuan Garden has a new look this year, with voice recognition technology from Alibaba's AI Labs used to control lighting decorations.

Xu Chong, general manager of Yuyuan Creativity Lab & the Commercial Properties Lantern business unit, said the festival would consider adding more interactive elements through voice recognition and other technologies to better connect with visitors in the future.
