Mutual love: Heart-warming interactions boost exchanges

Touched by the Heilongjiang people who took good care of the "little honey mandarins," Nanning sent three truckloads of honey mandarins and eight truckloads of Orah mandarins, a total of 189 tons of produce, to Harbin. More mandarins have also been sent to Heilongjiang from other places in Guangxi. In return, Heilongjiang sent 100,000 boxes of cranberries to Guangxi. A total of 100,000 bags of Heilongjiang's famous Wuchang rice are also on the road. All of these will be offered freely.

The departments of commerce in Guangxi and Heilongjiang are discussing business exchanges to promote special local products.

The tourism departments of Guangxi have also offered favorable policies to show their gratitude in return. Forty-five tourist attractions in Chongzuo City, including the Detian Waterfall bordering Vietnam, will open free of charge to visitors from Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning, three provinces in northeast China, from January 8 to February 8.
