Over the past few days, envoys from more than 20 countries immersed themselves in the unique cultural spectacles of the Hexi Corridor, a part of the ancient Silk Road, during a visit to northwest China’s Gansu Province.
A delegation of ambassadors and senior diplomats from countries such as Madagascar, Jordan, Nepal and Slovakia began their visit on Wednesday in Lanzhou, the provincial capital, and traveled on Thursday to Dunhuang, a major stop on the ancient Silk Road.
Stretching over a distance of nearly 1,000 kilometers in Gansu, the Hexi Corridor is home to five UNESCO World Heritage Sites and 53 grottoes.
“I cherish the opportunity to visit the region very much. It allows me to appreciate the beautiful scenery and unique customs of the Hexi Corridor, especially Dunhuang,” said Hussam Al Husseini, Jordanian Ambassador to China.
At an event promoting the corridor, Sinisa Berjan, Ambassador of Bosnia and Herzegovina to China, gave a thumbs up after tasting the wine produced in Jiayuguan, a city along the corridor.
