Journalists from 14 Countries Conclude Tour of China’s Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region
29 September 2024 - 3:48AM
Journalists from 14 countries, including Kenya, South Africa,
Nigeria, and Fiji, concluded a six-day tour of China's Ningxia Hui
Autonomous Region on Monday. The visit, co-hosted by the China
Public Diplomacy Association and huanqiu.com, offered the
journalists firsthand insights into the region's ecological
preservation efforts and rich cultural heritage along the Yellow
River. This tour was part of the Travelogue of China event, which
took place from September 18 to 23.
This journey marked the second Travelogue of
China tour this year, following an earlier visit to Jiangsu
Province. During their time in Ningxia, the journalists explored
various cities, including Yinchuan, Wuzhong, and Zhongwei, where
they examined the region’s environmental initiatives and visited
significant cultural landmarks.
In Yinchuan, the journalists toured the
Zhenbeibu Western Film Studio and the world’s first
10,000-ton-level casting 3D printing smart factory. In Zhongwei,
they visited the Tengger Desert New Energy Base and the Shapotou
National Nature Reserve. In Wuzhong, they observed traditional
water management techniques in Qingtongxia, renowned as the "first
of nine canals" and the most developed part of Ningxia's ancient
irrigation system. The group also picked goji berries, visited
Huangyang ancient village, and celebrated a local harvest festival
in Zhongning County, part of Zhongwei City.
"Ningxia has left a lasting impression on me
with its rich history and culture. I was amazed by the blend of
ancient traditions and modern innovations," said Nicholas Mwai, a
journalist with the Daily Post from Vanuatu.
"The region's efforts to adapt to sandstorms and
prevent sand from encroaching on towns were impressive. The solar
project (we visited) was an eye-opener for me as a Pacific islander
confronted by climate change. China's steps to reduce emissions are
inspiring; if Pacific Islands adopt similar measures, we can
minimize environmental impacts," Mwai said.
"On behalf of my country, Vanuatu, I want to
thank the Travelogue of China for the arrangements, care, and
hospitality. My visit to Ningxia was a highlight of my time in
China, an unforgettable experience. I hope the bond between China
and the Pacific Island countries, especially Vanuatu, will grow
stronger," Mwai added.
