Overseas tourism promotion key to Chinese cities 'going out'

2 Guangxi tourism promotion show wins acclaim at UN headquarters

Picturesque rivers and mountains, silver beaches, an open-air banquet held by dressed-up minority groups, a smiling old lady sitting at the doorway of her home in "Longevity Village"...

These are just a few of the dozens of pictures exhibited at a recent tourism show featuring the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region of China, held at the United Nations headquarters in New York.

Apart from the exhibition of pictures, the promotion show included a video of sceneries and ethnic cultures, a presentation punctuated with rewarded Q&A activities, and an introduction of airlines, attracting some 150 participants from governments, the tourism industry, airline companies and media, from both China and the United States.
