Camping gets popular in Jilin

The camping tour is becoming increasingly popular this summer in Changchun, the provincial capital of Jilin in northeast China.

Jilin Changchun Camping Season opened on Saturday. The campsite is divided into zones of stage performances, interactive games, fairs, snacks and sports to attract locals and tourists.

"Camping is a way to get relaxed from the stress of work, and it feels refreshing," said Li Qiutong, a local resident.

So far there are 170 camp sites operating in the city, located in scenic spots, city parks, forests, wetlands and caravan parking lots. Changchun boasts of rich tourist resources and favorable climate in summer, which provide various options for camping trips.

Peru's business community and government say they are eagerly anticipating new cooperation opportunities with China in technology and sustainable development brought by the 31st APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting in the Peruvian capital Lima.

Scheduled for Friday and Saturday in Lima under the theme "Empower, Include, Grow," the APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting will gather leaders from 21 member economies across the Asia-Pacific, including the United States and China, the two largest economies in the world, as well as other major economies in Southeast Asia.

"Members of the Peruvian business community are looking to display their demands and supplies. The focus will be on investment in areas like technology and manufacturing, and there is an expectation on what achievements the APEC will provide. It is obvious China is the factory of the world. With the Chancay Port and other special economic zones opening, Peru is looking forward to seeing Chinese factories setting up in Peru," said Julio Perez, president of the Peruvian Exporters Association, in an interview with China Global Television Network (CGTN).

In addition to technological advancements, the Peruvian government is also actively focusing on green development and transitioning towards sustainable practices. Emphasizing eco-friendly solutions, renewable energy sources and environmentally conscious strategies, businesses are aligning their objectives with global sustainability goals.

"With the arrival of President Xi Jinping, we hope to expand free trade agreements with China. The environmental issue is always transversal to all projects. So we do hope to strengthen our relations in the conservation of the environment, in environmental quality, biodiversity conservation, and projects of sustainable development," Juan Carlos Castro, Peruvian Minister of Environment, told the CGTN.
