Izinto ezibonakalayozisetshenziselwa ikakhulukazi ukukhiqizwa kwezimpawu ezihlukahlukene ezikhanyayo, amapuleti ezinombolo zemoto, izinsiza zokuphepha, njll. Imibala yayo ekhanyayo idlala indima esobala eyisixwayiso emini, futhi umphumela wayo okhanyayo okhanyayo ungasetshenziswa ebusuku noma ngaphansi kwezimo eziphansi zokukhanya. Thuthukisa ngempumelelo ikhono lokuqashelwa kwabantu, ubone okuhlosiwe ngokucacile, vusa ukuqapha, ngaleyo ndlela ugweme izingozi, unciphise abalimala, futhi wehlise nokulahlekelwa kwezomnotho. Iba unogada obalulekile ohamba emgwaqweni futhi inezinzuzo ezisobala emphakathini. Ububanzi besicelo bubandakanyeka kakhulu kwezokuphepha komphakathi nezokuthutha, ukugadwa kwethrafikhi, ukuvikela umlilo, izitimela, izimayini zamalahle neminye iminyango. Izinto ezibonakalayo ezibonisa umphakathi ikakhulukazi yindwangu ekhanyayo, ishidi le-lattice elikhanyayo, indwangu yokuphrinta ekhanyayo, njll.
Ukusetshenziswa kwezinto ezibonakalayo zaseChina embonini yezimpawu kwaqala ekuqaleni kwawo-1980. Kusukela lapho, ngokuthuthukiswa komkhakha wezinto ezibonakalayo waseChina, iye yandiswa kancane kancane. Ububanzi bokusetshenziswa buhileleke kakhulu kwezokuphepha komphakathi nezokuthutha, ukugadwa kwethrafikhi, ukuvikela umlilo, izitimela, izimayini zamalahle neminye iminyango. Imishini yokuzivikela kanye nemikhiqizo yabantu isiqalile ukusetshenziswa kakhulu.
