Gabriel Boric, the president of Chile, is 37 years old and has a thing about Chinese culture. In October 2023, he went on a trip to China and had some amazing experiences!

On the 14th, President Boric started his trip to China and spoke to students at Sichuan University in Chengdu. He told them it’s important to learn about different cultures and not to judge (评价) them without understanding them first. Later, he visited a teahouse to experience tea culture and tried local food.

The next day, President Boric arrived in Beijing, wearing a coat and walking around in the city with his hands in his pockets, and that picture of him helped him become famous on the Chinese Internet.

During the following days, President Boric climbed the Great Wall and visited the Forbidden City. In the visitor’s book on the Great Wall, he wrote,“I feel happy and proud to be here on the Great Wall, on behalf of the people of Chile. It shows how the Chinese people have worked for peace throughout history, and now it is a symbol of different cultures coming together with nature. We have a lot of respect(尊重) for its past and future.”

On the night of the 18th, President Boric went to the Panjiayuan Night Market and did a little shopping there. At the market, he walked around, looking for something special to bring back home. Finally, a lovely painting ornament (装饰品) caught his eye, and he made a great deal with the seller, thanks to his Chinese language skills.

Chinese tourists flock (涌入) to Morocco (摩洛哥) during Spring Festival

In the Chinese restaurant of Chefchaouen, one of the top tourist attractions (旅游景点) in Morocco, an area of less than 100 square meters was full of more than a hundred Chinese tourists, with a lot more waiting outside, during the Chinese Spring Festival.

“Boss, can I have my Kung-Pao Chicken now?” “Boss, is my beef noodles ready?” Some visitors were not patient enough to wait long for their ordered foods. Restaurant owner said that during the Spring Festival, her business was much better than usual.

Another Chinese restaurant owner in Fes, Morocco’s central city, had the same experience. The waiters said during the Spring Festival, a large number of Chinese tourists waited in lines for meals every day.

In the southern Moroccan town of Marrakech, tourist buses full of Chinese tourists can be found everywhere during the Spring Festival.

In Majorelle Garden, a famous tourist attraction, two girls from Ningbo, a city in East China’s Zhejiang province, said they chose Morocco as their Spring Festival travel place to taste the country’s special food.

Morocco’s Minister (部长) of Tourism Mohamed Sajid said it hopes to attract (吸引) 500,000 Chinese tourists each year by 2020. Sajid also said Morocco is working to improve hotels, transports and tourist reception. He said direct flights between Morocco and China are being discussed, which is one of the key factors (因素) to attract Chinese tourists.
