China and Brazil have been strengthening cultural exchanges through the signing of agreements and the implementation of tourism development activities that allow both peoples to get to know each other better.
According to Joao Batista do Nascimento Magallaes, an official at the South American country’s diplomatic mission in China, despite the great geographical, cultural, and historical distance that separates the two nations, they share similar tastes and behaviors.
This enables a strong friendship between both sides, which is being reinforced with the approaching celebration of the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations next year.
The diplomat sees this date as an opportunity to further strengthen ties. He praised the signing of cooperation agreements in tourism development between Brazil and the city of Jiayuguan, located in the northwest of the Asian giant.
On this occasion, Wang Rongkai, director of the publicity department of Jiayuguan, spoke about its historical and cultural heritage. The city boasts 52 tourist attractions that make it famous in the country.
The event also provided an opportunity to taste typical Brazilian and Chinese cuisine, particularly from northern China.
Qiao Jie, vice president of the Chinese Culinary Association, stated that the South American country and Jiayuguan represent two different styles of barbecue preparation, both interesting and with a rich history.
The city of Jiayuguan, located on the ancient Silk Road, attracts attention mainly due to the last section of the Great Wall of China, the largest underground gallery in the world, and its location within the Gobi Desert.
