      Bolivia and Kyrgyzstan have hailed the ongoing China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS) as a high-level platform that helps to promote their tourism services and products to the Chinese tourists.

      Themed "Global Services, Shared Prosperity", the CIFTIS, which opened at the China National Convention Center and Shougang Park in Beijing on Thursday and will run till Monday, has attracted attendees from 85 countries and international organizations, as well as over 450 Fortune 500 enterprises and companies taking the lead in their respective industries.

      The comprehensive exhibition at the China National Convention Center showcases the country's latest achievements and trend in the service sector, while the themed exhibition in Shougang Park presents specialized services in sectors such as finance, culture, tourism, and education.

      While attending the CIFTIS, Hugo Jose Siles Nunez del Prado, ambassador of Bolivia to China, said that the high-level event helps to promote the South American country's tourism services and products to the Chinese tourists.

      "It is the first time that Bolivia has ever attended the CIFTIS. The CIFTIS has impressed us with its high level. It offers Bolivia an opportunity to present our tourism services and products. So I am very happy that Bolivia can participate in this year's CIFTIS. By being a part of the CIFTIS, we hope to establish closer ties with China in trade in services, and we hope China can promote better technologies to Bolivia and even to the world," he said.

      Kapalova, a travel agent from Kyrgyzstan, said as more and more Chinese come to visit the central Asian country, she hopes this year's CIFTIS will help further increase the tourism flow.

      "It is our first time to come to Beijing and take part in the CIFTIS. We are a travel company from Kyrgyzstan. More and more Chinese are now coming to visit Kyrgyzstan, and we would like to attract more visitors to our country," she said.

      People across China make preparations to welcome Spring Festival

      2025-01-21 06:41 Last Updated At:07:17

      A festive atmosphere is building up as people across China have been making preparations to ring in the Spring Festival next week, with lights and decorations set everywhere, and with New Year goods markets all seeing booming sales.

      The Spring Festival, which marks the start of the Chinese Lunar New Year, is the most important annual holiday in China, when people across the country return to their hometowns for Chinese Lunar New Year celebrations and family reunion. 

      In Xi'an City of northwest China's Shaanxi Province, a grand lantern show is in its final stage of preparation before opening to the public ahead of the eve of the 2025 Chinese Lunar New Year. To be lit up on Wednesday, the large light sets presented at the event will draw numerous visitors, with lanterns that replicate 38 cultural relics as the highlight.

      Buying New Year flowers has been a custom for Chinese people. In Yancheng City of east China's Jiangsu Province, various flowers which have auspicious meanings are already in high demand.

      This year, tulips bred locally have been put on sale, and quickly become a favorable choice for many customers.  

      "I have never seen this kind of flower before. I think it is really bright-colored. Therefore, I decided to buy some to enhance the festive atmosphere at home," said Zhang Jinjian, a local resident.

      The Anchang ancient town in Shaoxing City of east China's Zhejiang Province has a time-honored custom of making aired sausages and spiced duck.

      As the Spring Festival draws near, plenty of visitors and tourists choose to purchase these local delicacies as ingredients for their Chinese New Year feast.

      "The number of tourists has been increasing, so the sales of our spiced meat have been quite good. Compared with the same period of last year, our sales is expected to increase by about 50,000 yuan (about 6,835 U.S. dollars). We will earn an additional 200,000 to 300,000 yuan (27,335 to 41,000 U.S. dollars) in sales during this whole winter," said Yang Jing, owner of a local spiced meat shop.

      In southwest China's Yunnan Province, the "Tiaocai dance" is a time-honored tradition of the Yi ethnic minority group. The dance is presented in the form of serving dishes while dancing to the rhythm. It usually happens on a joyous or grand occasion.

      Since the most significant annual festival is around the corner, Yi people have dressed up in traditional costumes, and got ready to welcome the arrival of the Chinese Lunar New Year with the special dance.
