On April 15, 2026, Alibaba's groundbreaking venture into the world of AI-powered eyewear took a significant leap forward as the inaugural global store for QianWen AI glasses opened its doors at Terminal 2 of Nanjing Lukou International Airport. Marking the occasion, the highly anticipated QianWen AI glasses S1 model was made available for purchase at the same time. This store represents Alibaba's first-ever offline, all-encompassing experience hub dedicated to its 'QianWen' AI hardware ecosystem, seamlessly blending product display, interactive experiences, sales transactions, and customer service under one roof. Looking ahead, Alibaba has ambitious plans to replicate this store's success as a blueprint for nationwide expansion, targeting key cities across China starting from the latter half of 2026.
