A mixture of diverse, quirky and eye-catching stories have captured public attention and sparked debate across social media in China in recent days.

Robot dog porter
Hikers on Mount Tai in Tai’an, Shandong province in eastern China were surprised to find a robot dog effortlessly carrying heavy loads and navigating up and down the mountain.
The robot is part of a trial by a property management company to explore better solutions for garbage collection in mountainous scenic areas.
During the tests, the robot carried nearly 40kg, showing remarkable stability while climbing stairs and smoothly adjusting its direction of movement.
Reports suggest that the robotic canine is designed to handle loads of up to 120kg.
This has led some to joke that someday it could offer weary tourists a lift up the mountain.
