A real-time travel experience system based on virtual reality technology includes sight real-time acquisition subsystems, a network transmission subsystem, a center platform subsystem and experience site subsystems. Based on virtual reality technology, the system collects the scenery and environment parameters of scenic spots using an unmanned aerial vehicle, transmits the data to an experience site, and simulates a sight real-time state vis the experience site by using the data received, providing more real user experiences; meanwhile, the user can view in motion via a walking caterpillar and a rotary base, a scenery environment can also be moved or steered due to the motion or steering of the user, so that the user experience is significantly enhanced. The system can be widely applied in various virtual travel systems.
